Screenshots of Prankster’s Paradise and La Cite des Cloches in Kingdom Hearts 3D

A few days ago, Famitsu posted a number of screenshots for the two new worlds in the 3DS version of Kingdom Hearts, titled Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (Seriously there is a Kingdom Hearts 3 on the table right?). These two new worlds are based on the stories of Pinocchio (A movie that scared the crap out of me as a child) and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Which happens to be my favourite Disney Film of all time).

The world for Pinocchio is titled Pranksters Paradise. Now, I have not actually watched the movie since my youth so I might be wrong, but I cannot recall there ever being this locale in the original Disney work, however it consists of an amusement park and circus and seems to follow the original storyline loosely (As with all Kingdom Hearts worlds) of Pinocchio with him travelling around to become a real boy with the aid of Jiminy Cricket, his conscience.

Of more interest is La Cite des Cloches, the world based off The Hunchback of Notre Dame, one of the more serious Disney films which follows Quasimodo who has been locked in the tower of Notre Dame by antagonist Judge Claude Frollo, who due to various reasons, has a hatred of gypsies but also lusts after one in particular. This seems to loosely follow the original Disney storyline as well where Quasimodo meets the gypsy Esmeralda and results in him attempting to protect her from Claude Frollo with the assistance of Captain Phoebus and I assume the Kingdom Hearts game.
