Attention all Disney's Dreamers fans and anime fans

Me and my friends (JessicaFin23 and Coolot1) are working on an idea for Disney's Dreamers.

It involves the Dreamkeepers (Hope, Diamond, Blaze, and Bloom), Donald, Goofy, and Kyra on a hiking trip where they marched into the "haunted" forest Aokigahara, but end up getting lost now they must travel through the forest in order to get back home, while encountering odd things on their journey.

The idea is a homage to Spirited Away and Over the Garden Wall while the plot is somewhat similar to the Wild Thornberrys episode Naimina Emkiyio and to let you all know this idea is inspired by a dream I had one night.

And the haunted forest in this idea is based on the real-life forest Aokigahara, it's located on the northwestern flank of Mount Fuiji, it has a historical reputation as a home to yurei or ghosts of the dead in Japanese mythology. In recent years it has become internationally known as one of the world's most popular destinations for suicide and signs at the head of some trails urge suicidal visitors to think of their families and contact a suicide prevention association.

NOTE: Here are some info about the idea

The Dreamkeepers, Donald, Goofy, and Kyra get lost in the forest for three days and it was sunset on the third day when they finally escape the forest.

During the idea their would be song sung by Poppy, Leah, Isla, and Elsie on their first night alone in the forest and unsuccessfully try to sleep and begin to miss their families (you know similar to the song Always There from The Land Before Time: The Mysterious Island)

And these are the characters the Dreamkeepers encounter in the forest:

Zarnokath - the main antagonist of this special, he is a demonic spirit who haunts the forest and preys on the souls of those who died in the forest and those who get lost in the forest as of means to survive, he is one of the most terrifying villains the Dreamkeepers have ever faced, throughout the idea we only hear his distant roars and see his eyes and his silhouette (just like how they did it with the Beast in Over the Garden Wall) but we finally get to see his full appearance until the climax of the idea, his personality and character is inspired by The Beast from Over the Garden Wall, the Skullasaurus from Pooh's Grand Adventure, and the Demonic Spirit from Samurai Jack, his design is inspired by Sachiel from Neon Genesis Evangelion, No-Face from Spirited Away, the Skullcrawlers from Kong: Skull Island, and the Grimm from RWBY. He is voiced by Tony Todd in the English dub.

Norbert/Takuma - a wandering, mysterious, elderly wood cutter from early 20th century Japan, many years ago he got lost and died in the forest (when those who died in the forest their souls would be trapped in the forest unable to pass on) when he was trying to find his way back, Zarnokath owns his soul because many years ago when Zarnokath appeared to him and tried to eat his soul in a fit of fear Norbert talked Zarnokath out of eating him and offered to help him lure more victims for Zarnokath (which Norbert would forever regret), he meets the Dreamkeepers when they end up lost in the forest and offers to help them find the way out. When Zarnokath catches up with them he tries to protect the Dreamkeepers from Zarnokath. When Zarnokath was defeated by the Dreamkeepers and they found the bridge that leads out of the forest, he (along with other souls who died in the forest and who got eaten by Zarnokath) finally passed on and he happily thanks the Dreamkeepers for freeing them all as he passes on. He is inspired by the Woodsman from Over the Garden Wall, Haku from Spirited Away, Kuni from Samurai Jack, and Uncle Pom from Castle in the Sky. He is voiced by Liam Neeson in the English dub.

And the reason why the Dreamkeepers can't transform, why Donald and Kyra can't use their magic is because of Zarnokath's dark incluence/curse on the forest, and the animals that inhabit the forest are possesed by Zarnokath's power and influence on the forest which turns them into demonic monsters and they are like Zarnokath's eyes and ears in the forest like Zarnokath can see through their eyes to see what goes on his forest (similar to how Kai from Kung Fu Panda 3 can see what goes through the eyes of his jade zombies), but in the climax of the idea the Dreamkeepers would overcome Zarnokath's curse on the forest and transform and battle him and after Zarnokath was defeated the animals in the forest would turn back to normal.

And to let you all know we don't see Zarnokath right away, but we do hear his roars echo through out the haunted forest (just when the heroes realized that they are lost) given a sense that it's always around somewhere watching the gang and waiting for a chance to strike (similar to how they did it with the Skullosaurus in Pooh's Grand Adventure and the Abominable Snowman in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer), this idea falls right into the tropes Hell Is That Noise, Nothing Is Scarier, and Dissonant Serenity, you see it builds up right until the moment Zarnokath is revealed (similar to how they did it with the Demonic Spirit from Samurai Jack)

So anyway the reason I'm here is because we are having trouble on what sort of medium this idea should be. So we are here to ask you guys.

What should this idea be? An episode A 2, 3, 4, or whatever part episode A special An OVA
