8. Atlantis Musical Section - Kingdom Hearts II

When it was announced that the paths of Disney and Square Enix were crossing in order to make a new video game, a fair few eyebrows were raised. After all, one party specialized in telling extremely melodramatic, violent epics about war and turmoil, and the other made films aimed at children. The end result was shocking to many as it managed to blend the two very distinct forces together into a franchise that has gone on to amass millions of sales. However, it wasn't without its incredibly cringy moments.

And it was LONG. REAAAAALLL Long. To the point that you might have passed out from all the blood rushing to your face over such an extended period.
