Amazing, to @Geekhis Khan , I hope we will get to the MGM-produced TV show oversaw by Bernie Brillstein, NewsRadio.
The Disney Animated Canon (from 1991-1994) should be like this, IIRC:
The Walt Disney Signature Series is basically a label for adult animated movies that Disney produces, so they're not counted in the Animated Canon.
- Aladdin (1991)
- Shrek (1992)
- The Little Mermaid (1993)
- Treasure Planet (1994)
- The Lion King (1994)
Stuff like Maus or Musicana.
Actually, It's not implausible at all. TTL's Disney has enough animators and teams to pull this off and IOTL's Renasaunce they were churning out almost the same amount of projects.So then what is Alien in the Family, Bamboo Princess and Brave Little Toaster? This Canon is far too big for Disney’s production capacity. Seems implausible in ways
Oh crap, both Alien in the Family and Bamboo Princess are also in the canon too, though The Brave Little Toaster is not likely to be included since it's a Disney 3D production (ITTL Pixar).So then what is Alien in the Family, Bamboo Princess and Brave Little Toaster? This Canon is far too big for Disney’s production capacity. Seems implausible in ways
Well, he kept the Watchmen rights, so better there, at least. If someone wants to do a deep dive on Moore go for it.I’m wondering if Alan Moore is treated better ITTL…
If you like them as Baboons, wait until you see them as the Many Serpents of the Kenebeek, children of Djodi'kwado the Horned Serpent, the eyes and ears of the evil sorcerer Tadodaho, bringer of plagues."Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, for example, cameo as a pair of bickering baboons" - ROTFL. Perfect.
Well, the OTL song is gone (sorry! The Butterflies hath spoken) but "Jami Jami" is the TTL equivalent and does have Hakuna Matata as a major part of it.Please don't butterfly Hakuna Matata, Please don't butterfly Hakuna Matata...
Stay tuned on (not yet) Sir Elton and Disney.I’m personally hoping that “Under the Eyes of the Moon” is a more African-inspired version of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”. Disney should still approach Sir Elton for a collaboration at some point.
I knew that Chris Rock would be involved when I saw the IRL voice of Donkey would play the part of a sarcastic zebra. But having a comparison to the infamous Will Smith slap is going too far in my opinion.
To be clear, it was a passing temptation that I quickly dismissed. That said, I throw in these "what wasn't" things so that whenever you catch yourselves rolling your eyes at some bad pun or reference (e.g. Houtha) you can take a moment to remember that it could have been worse.I applaud you for your self control @Geekhis Khan and also for this beautiful chapter.
Yep. I hide a lot of important hints and future things in passing lines. Sometimes you all catch them, sometimes not!Oh what's that hidden in a throwaway sentence? Two more films to look forward too?
Yes, I'm not a monster, only it's Ladysmith Black Mambazo giving the iconic opening soundscape rather than a passing line by Lebo M.Does it still start with the iconic shot of the rising sun?
Basically like a cross between that and the Simba talks to Cloud Mufasa scene in OTL.Reminds me of the End of Brother Bear with the Ancestors coming to the rescue. Hoping this is as equally visually stunning.
White is essentially a character actor iTTL. He was in Cadets, and also played (if you recall) a, well, Cadet in Red Tails who almost gets lynched for briefly talking to a white woman.I mean in this Timeline he never was Urkel, being mostly known for playing a character on Cadets so maybe it fits his type better?
I imagine that he's got a following and plenty of Draco in Leather Pants musings, particularly with Will Smith as the voice.I do wonder, @Geekhis Khan, is it a thing ITTL that people feel sorry for Dank? (Perhaps more so than might have been intended).
In the same vein, Kimba may get a boost in America.
As TFOA mentioned, Kimba was syndicated on The Disney Channel, so it's already a familiar title, which is part of the motivation for the collab-turned-inspiration credit iTTL.Not to mention how Kimba and Astro Boy had some airtime on The Disney Channel back in the early to mid-80's.
Since it's dubbed by Japanese actors, and the Japanese already have a love for anthropomorphic lions (Kimba) it's much like OTL seen as a good film and nice "shout out" to Japanese culture.Maybe, although given Japan's politics aren't very kind to anyone or any culture with darker skin colours, its gonna be a bit of a tough sell.
I did think they could focus on the shared values of each cultures (family and ancestor worship, honour), but I'm certain that's just me indulging in hurtful stereotypes.
That would be a good name for a band, The Rasta Meerkats. They play anything but Reggae.How many TLs have Rasta meerkats?
North will come up.I love this new version of The Lion King!
By the way, is North going to be the massive failure as it was OTL or could it actually be received well by critics and do well at the box office?
Stay tuned!Amazing, to @Geekhis Khan , I hope we will get to the MGM-produced TV show oversaw by Bernie Brillstein, NewsRadio.
Well, iTTL the idea of a "Canon" is a little looser and less dogmatic than OTL since there are all of these collaborations and WED-Sig and the like and no Straight to Home Video Sequels to be specifically excluded. But yes, Toaster's canonicity is suspect, as is Maus, Cats and arguably Shrek, though Princess Argyle does make the Disney Princess line.Oh crap, both Alien in the Family and Bamboo Princess are also in the canon too, though The Brave Little Toaster is not likely to be included since it's a Disney 3D production (ITTL Pixar).
Guessing he’s less bitter, then?Well, he kept the Watchmen rights, so better there, at least. If someone wants to do a deep dive on Moore go for it.
And if he still leaves DC, it's probably on more amicable terms.Guessing he’s less bitter, then?
This made me remember Rastamouse.band, The Rasta Meerkats
Oh really? Thank God!Well, he kept the Watchmen rights, so better there, at least. If someone wants to do a deep dive on Moore go for it.
Can't wait, maybe it's going to be a simple soundtrack or maybe he gets his own animated musical like with Cats?Stay tuned on (not yet) Sir Elton and Disney.
I'm glad he could get out of the Cadet Typecast, maybe next time he can play an Ensign or a Lieutenant Junior Grade!White is essentially a character actor iTTL. He was in Cadets, and also played (if you recall) a, well, Cadet in Red Tails who almost gets lynched for briefly talking to a white woman.
Honestly it could be a great movie if the right people are involved. The OTL film suffers from having both boring direction and a way to adult oriented script (see the infamous Fertility of Hawaii scene) that doesn't fit the more fantastical story.North will come up.
Can't wait to see that!Well, iTTL the idea of a "Canon" is a little looser and less dogmatic than OTL since there are all of these collaborations and WED-Sig and the like and no Straight to Home Video Sequels to be specifically excluded. But yes, Toaster's canonicity is suspect, as is Maus, Cats and arguably Shrek, though Princess Argyle does make the Disney Princess line.
As to how they do it all, well, it's honestly less than Disney was producing iOTL overall at this point where Eisner wanted "a release every weekend". Having animation studios in both Anaheim and Orlando helps, and "Pixar" being a part of Disney, as does some limited outsourcing and partnerships (Amblimation). I have a post that goes into the process and how it works. Also, OTL DIsney Animation had a good deal of downtime between features. More on this in an upcoming post.
This sounds truly epic.King of the Pride
Oops. I guess if even Henson's Disney always got this stuff right, it wouldn't be realistic. At least they're trying.We were very well received in Africa, in particular by the ethnic Malike, who claim Sundiata as their first great Mansa (despite the pragmatic changes), though the ethnic Sosso, who count Soumaoro as one of their great historical Mansas, considered his portrayal a cultural insult.
This sounds truly epic.

Wow, and thanks, all, for the kind words. Whenever I touch a major classic I'm playing with fire and I generally have nowhere to go but down. The disappointment in Indy 3 and Shrek were wholly expected and I'm kind of surprised to get this much love for Alt-TLK, but I'll take it. I guess when you're using one of the Great Epics of Human History it's mostly about not screwing it up. Glad that I didn't!
I think the more "tamed" Shrek is one of the more disappointing aspects of this TL. Like, I understand /why/ it's the way it is... but, man, I won't lie when I say that TTL's Shrek is really mediocre? Especially in terms of story and characters.I think the big reason was that no-one had any preconceived expectations - or, if they were, they had high expectations. For instance, I think a lot of people were expecting a Shrek that was just a gigantic Disney piss-take - by Disney themselves - like The Emperor's New Groove.
