A Closer Look at John Alvin’s Poster for The Hunchback of Notre Dame

John Alvin is the artist behind the iconic movie posters for such Disney classics as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King.

These photos show the artistic process John used to find the look of the final poster design for Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Alvin’s wife, Andrea, has released a GORGEOUS book highlighting her husband’s many illustrated accomplishments – The Art of John Alvin. To see more of John’s work, check it out!

Kingdom Hearts III Chess Board

Yay! I finally have finished modelling these. I recreated the chess board as seen from the Kingdom Hearts III Trailers and Opening. A few more days left before the game is out! So excited!! Also, the arrangements of the pieces here are not canon. (I apparently don’t know where to put the other pieces lol) I just based on what is seen in the trailers.

Day 13 - Memory

Kairi stared at the girl in front of her.

Other than the fact that she had short dark hair, the girl was the spitting image of… well… Kairi. It was like looking in a mirror, almost.

Kairi took a step closer to her, the tide lapping at her feet. “Who… are you?”

Kairi had never seen her before. Was she like Naminé? Her body was hidden beneath a long black coat that looked too hot for Destiny Island’s warm temperatures, so it was hard to tell.

The girl was silent for a moment. “I’m you, as Sora remembers you,” she finally said.

Kairi paused at this. “Me as Sora remembers me? What does that mean?”

Not For One More Second Scene: Japanese and English Comparison

This is the third in a series of translation posts I’ve done about Sora and Kairi’s scenes in KH3. The first post about the paopu fruit sharing scene can be found here, and the second post about the light in the darkness scene can be found here.

Here’s a general key for the kind of analysis I like to do:

JP: Official Japanese Dialogue

EN: Official English Dialogue

TR: My Translation (usually more literal and thus more stilted than the official English version. I’m not using natural-sounding English in order to stick as close to the Japanese versions of the lines as possible for the purpose of analysis)

Notes: things I found interesting, grammatical points, extra thoughts, etc.

One last note: media doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Every work of art must be viewed through the cultural lens of the people who made it. Kingdom Hearts, for all its ties to Disney, is still very much a Japanese game, so it should be analyzed in light of that.

With that in mind, let’s continue.
