What would a world without Disney look like? What consequences/benefits/affects would it have on the world? How would the field of animation have developed? How would the world have developed?
A World Without Disney
- Thread starter Alternatehistoryguy47
- Start date
Great Post.Fleishers and Popeye and other characters would be around.Don't forget Warner Brothers and the guys of Termite Terrace-the animators.Assume the Fleishers do a Popeye feature rather than Gulliver's Travel and that is a success then more features would show especially if they do not do Mr Bug Goes to Town-a VERY bad film which cost the Fleisher's their studio and Superman features.Who knows, maybe Warners would try a feature film with cartoon characters like Bugs, etc.No, we'd get Fleisher and/or WB cartoons.WB still had Tex Avery at work and a young Chuck Jones!
Without Disney anime and manga would be drastically different, more Eastern European/Soviet and traditionally Japanese influenced. Also space travelling might be less popular in the US, seeing how Walt was a close friend of Wernher von Braun and cooperated with him for "propaganda", so an ATL von Braun-equivalent would miss an important partner.
1. Orlando, FL remains a sleepy bedroom community. No Disney World
2. No Radio Disney or Disney Channel. This means no Hannah Montana for Miley Cyrus to star in (or for that matter, anything featuring Lindsey Lohan)
3. No "A World of Laughter, A World of Tears"
4. Can you say: "What's up Doc?"

Well, it could be what it was from the 40's to 60's- a defense center. (They still have contractors there!)
True- but Miley might find a way to go into music following her dad. (Perhaps with a stronger WB, Selena Gomez could play Zatanna...)
A few changes:
Cultural:
-Amusement parks would be more like Coney Island than WDW or Disneyland.
-Winnie the Pooh might not be as popular. Perhaps A. A. Milne might get a different reputation? (He didn't just write kid's books...)
-Disney was one of the first pro-HUAC witnesses. Perhaps his absencce would have diminished HUAC's opinions?
Movies:
-Mary Poppins may not get made. As a result, Julie Andrews may not get Best Actress. (Her entire career may change as a result...)
-If Tron doesn't get made, it diminishes the use and appeal of computer animation in the future, resulting in HUGE changes to today's business.
WWII:
-A lot of propaganda shorts don't get made.
-No Victory Through Air Power. Could this result in fewer heavy bombers?
-No Saludos Amigos or Three Caballeros. Could this make South America and Central America a more fertile ground for the Axis? (Henry Wallace himself praised Walt for his role in promoting good relations with Central and South America.)
These are just off the top of my head...
what do you mean?
This is the Holy Roman Empire, where else?
And how do you not know Obama? He's the greatest Hamperball player in New Amsteram!
Bugs Bunny was inspired by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, whom Tex Avery worked on during his time at Universal Studios. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks during their time at Universal Studios. No Disney means no Oswald and no Oswald means no Bugs Bunny.
Besides, there's always Spongebob.
Can't statichaos write it assuming Chuck Jones is elected President?
it wouldn't be the same

You just removed Kingdom Hearts from existence.
You will pay for this.
In all honesty, that was a shitty game after the first one.
Maybe we could have Final Fantasy link up with Warner Bros.
how about with a POD of... oh say... Walt Disney dies in a head-on collision while serving as an ambulance driver in WWI?
