Developed by B-Master Animation under B-Master Animation Tele-Vision, the series shows as a retake from Super Mario Galaxy as a classic Kingdom Hearts adventure with a Digimon/SMG4 twist to follow around Kairi on her quest to save Sora while tagging along a little boy named TK to help understand her true destiny from being a useless princess of light to an epic hero she was always meant to be. The series is co-produced by KirbyStar Studios, Square Enix, Glitch Productions, Disney Television Animation, and Toei Animation.

A young teen girl, Kairi, tries to save her best friend but gets lost in the strange vastness of space beyond Kingdom Hearts. As she landed in a flying Observatory, she starts to befriend a young boy named Takeru, who goes by TK while he has no family born from long ago, and his three fairies known as the Gullwings, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine, try to aid her on her quest to save Sora from Ansem and his dark army.

## Trivia

* This was B-Master Animation's first take on making an Kingdom Hearts series.
* Originally planned as a film, the concept was reworked as a television series in the vein of the old classic Disney animation tv shows.
* The series was loosely inspired by Infinity Train, Epic Mickey, and SMG4 but takes major inspiration from the artwork of MIXToons along with the characters and personalities of the Kingdom Hearts series and the Digimon Adventure Reboot.
* While Kingdom Hearts focus more around Sora, the series resolves the lack of development for Kairi being from a useless child to making her independent and brave as Sora was, mostly to give her some spotlight to explore other worlds inspired by Disney, Pixar, and the defunct Blue Sky Studios.
* The title is referenced from the DreamWorks Pictures film, *Galaxy Quest*, which stars Tim Allen, voice of Buzz in Toy Story, leading a group of actors on a quest to save a group of aliens who they believe they can save their kind.
* A brother-sister dynamic was placed for Kairi and T.K. to give more personally within the characters and mostly to have the same Ratchet & Clank dynamic as *Deku & Ochaco: Heroes of Tomorrow* has for Ochaco and Robotboy.
* The Gullwings from Final Fantasy X-2 will have a story arc to their forms from Kingdom Hearts 2 which was an original concept planed for them and Roxas before story issues were handled. The fairy designs of the Gullwings were Andrew's favorite characters and have first played Kingdom Hearts by it's sequel on the PS2. It was mostly his favorite game than Kingdom Hearts 3.
* Kairi's design will take full inspiration from Kingdom Hearts 3 rather than Kingdom Hearts 2. He felt that the design of her has to stand out to see that she's isn't weak as she was in the games but has to be the same Kairi we all know in love.
