I love the nod to Fantasia here (and for those who know the Magic Kingdom, to Mickeys PhilharMagic), with Sorcerer Mickeys silhouette taking the stage to conduct the intro. And it was a nice touch the way that theme kept returning throughout the intro, as if Mickey was using his magic to display whatever we see.

This intro also very effectively retold the events of the prior games in a way that seemed nostalgic, without feeling like a redundant recap of all the convoluted plot that came before. Its kind of weird that although I still havent gotten around to playing Kingdom Hearts III, just hearing this music and watching these visuals stirs quite an emotional response from me. Perhaps I just dont want to ruin the magic of the first two games by playing Kingdom Hearts III after hearing how disappointing it was to so many people. But Im getting off topic. The point is this intro is a great tribute to the series.

If I have any complaints, its that some of the combat scenes near the end went on a bit long and probably could have been trimmed down. But overall, this is a solid intro that resonated with me.
