History FanFic / CrownsOfTheKingdom

* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon

The result is an adventure much in the vein of ''KingdomHearts''--a DisneyAnimatedCanon crossover featuring a horde of soulless, soul-crushing enemies, the threat of the world's destruction, and of course Mickey Mouse as an action-ready hero. But what it really is, is the author's love letter to Disneyland--a nostalgic journey through the park's history, and a celebration of its capacity to blur the line between reality and imagination. It garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews from Karalora's fellow Disney park fans on ff.net, but non-fans may find it less accessible.

The story begins with a vengeful [[SleepingBeauty Maleficent]] casting a spell to undo all 50 years of Disneyland's development, leaving the park as it was when it first opened in 1955 and trapping every animated character created since then in a limbo between reality and non-existence. In order to rescue them and restore the park to its 2005 state, MickeyMouse and his core group from the ClassicDisneyShorts quest to retrieve [[PlotCoupon five decorative crowns]] stolen from the turrets of Sleeping Beauty Castle, each one representing ten years of Disneyland history. Along the way, they are opposed by the Dispirations, {{shapeshifting}} beings from the limbo dimension whom Maleficent has recruited. They also frequently find themselves navigating the hazards of Disneyland's thrill rides, come to life as an indirect result of the spell. And then the rest of the Disney Villains get involved...

But what it really is, is the author's love letter to Disneyland--a nostalgic journey through the park's history, and a celebration of its capacity to blur the line between reality and imagination. It is unsurprising that it garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews from Karalora's fellow Disney park fans on ff.net.
