Speaking of 2 Giants animation companies of all times, one from western world and another from eastern world, they must be Walt Disney and Square Enix.
With these two giants collaboration, Kingdom Hearts is a video game series crossingover of various Disney characters and characters from Square Enix's Final Fantasy series. The series centers around the main character Sora's search for his friends and his encounters with Disney and Final Fantasy characters on their worlds, though the most recent games have centered around other characters central to the series' storyline.
The series currently consists of seven games including remakes across different video game platforms, and future titles are planned. Most of the games in the series have been both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, though each title has seen varying levels of success. As of September 2008, the Kingdom Hearts series has shipped over 12 million copies worldwide, with 2 million copies in PAL regions, 3.0 million copies in Japan, and 5.6 million copies in North America. A wide variety of related merchandise has been released along with the games, including soundtracks, figurines, companion books, and an ongoing manga series.
Kingdom Hearts Mobile is a Kingdom Hearts themed online game in which players can play mini-games together. Kingdom Hearts Mobile also merchandise wallpapers, ringtones, graphics and other items which can be purchased and downloaded through the service for mobile phones.
My point here to discuss further is that after introducing Dimo, Disney collaborated with Japanese Company like Square Enix, and developed online platform for Kingdom Hearts itself.
