Imagine if Katawa Shoujo didn't become an Anime, but rather had Disney backing for a movie, or something.
Horrifying, I know. It's a bad idea in most concepts, but one upside would be...
Disney movies always have songs ;)

I know there are a few topics already standing that cover this idea, but most of them are people re-writing previously existing disney songs to fit with KS. What I wanna know is what relatively-original ideas do you guys think would take feature in a KS Disney mashup?

I'm thinking a painfully sweet number with Hanako singing about reading books and being transported to different places, or an upbeat training montage song with Emi.
Kenji performing a musical runthrough of his anti-feminist plans to Hisao, graphs and puppets included.
Like stupid, silly doodles with no point? You've come to the right place, friend :^)
I also occasionally write oneshots. Why not have a skimread?
Miki fic? Miki fic!

I can get behind this idea. In fact, I'm totally inspired!

Lilly would probably have some kind of in-the-background song about how she cares so much for Hisao, but can't bring herself to tell him.

Rin would have an entire song of literal nonsense, sometimes saying "Can't you understand?"

Shizune wouldn't have a song, Misha would take her place. Singing about how she loves Shizune and can't stand to see Hisao "stealing" Shizune away from her.

Man, that would be so awesome. Of course they'd have to structure the movie so that all of the routes are covered, I've seen anime do it before.

The perfect Emi x Hisao duet song would be 'I Can Go The Distance'. It just needs to be modified and rearranged a bit... :)

Yeah, she's trying to explain the colour she wants or the feeling she wants this painting to convey to someone and they're trying their best but can't follow, then there's a reprise later on with her and Hisao going through the same thing, but in the end he understands and it's all happy and shit :P

You're thinking of "I'll Make a Man Out of You"
"I don’t want to be here anymore, I know there’s nothing left worth staying for.
Your paradise is something I’ve endured
See I don’t think I can fight this anymore, I’m listening with one foot out the door
And something has to die to be reborn-I don’t want to be here anymore"

That would be a Shizune-type song...

Rin gets something "Painting the Roses Red"-like of course.
Rin is orthogonal to everything.

What, not Rin? (And it being about making a man out of Rin. After all, there's some indications that Rin isn't exactly a cisgender female... Then again, there's no "making" needed, if Rin is a trans man...)

Cheers, Azumeow!
And yeah, you're right about that... Too serious to be Emi's and now I can see Shizune forcing Hisao to perform all sorts of paperwork/Weightlifting hybrids in the SC room :lol:

I dispute that! Make it an instrumental, and she signs the words, which are captioned. The rhythm of the hand motions forms the rhythm of the melody.
NB: none of the above is a request

Lilly/Hisao singing a variation of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" to Hanako, who has locked herself in her room again.

Hisao singing that to Hanako.

Then she opens the door...

Hisao soon finds himself singing 'F**k it all' (let it go variaton) on top of a tree

They say they hate Shizune? What is this? BLASPHEMY!
