This is what's bothering me!only if he can prove he can act, maybe in a direct-to-video or made for TV movie.
IOTL we already knew that Will Smith could act because of his performance in Fresh Prince, ITTL people don't know that yet.

This!
Also could we please keep the Carousel of Progress in good shape?
It's Walt's (and honestly mine aswell) favourite attraction and I think Roy E. has an invested interest to keep it running and up to date, however it has the Tomorrowland Problem times 10 so a slight update of the concept would be needed.
Either make it fully historical, showing the progress a man who was born in Walt's time would've experienced OR move the Timeline a bit to make it start from the 60s and run into the future.
It's very likely that in an ironic twist to OTL, the refurbished Carousel of Progress is going to go all-in on the historical angle and look back to the 1880s-1960s due to it being themed to reflect Tomorrowland 1955, with the last section being towards the future as Walt envisioned back in the day.I'd go mainly with the historical angle on this. Walt Disney himself was a toddler when the Wright brothers first took flight. But Walt lived to see space flight, and missed seeing the moon landing by only a couple of years.
Maybe some extrapolation for the future, based on RL trends. Like pointing out that it took only 40 years for computers to go from filling large rooms, to fitting on your office desk with room to spare.
The death was due to an accident, so it's likely that under different circumstances that he could've survived with better handled props, such as the dummy ammunition. I'm not entirely sure why Raimi would not choose Brandon Lee for the film, but I don't really mind if he gets replaced by someone else or if it remains the same as OTL.So with a Sam Raimi directed Crow film probably means either Brandon Lee won't star or if he does they have completely different props people which means no accident.
Won't be surprised in MiB ended up being adapted for the big screen somehow. I do like the idea of Columbia taking it if Hollywood Pictures does not end up acquiring the rights to it.Don't say that, it would be a good IP for Ted Turner/Columbia/Peachwood.
Yeah, Will Smith might actually stay as a rapper instead the multimedia star that we know of today without Fresh Prince, which is actually crazy to think about, given how much of a icon he is OTL.IOTL we already knew that Will Smith could act because of his performance in Fresh Prince, ITTL people don't know that yet.
Ice Cube's been acting for a while, they could go with him.This is what's bothering me!

It's either a day or cleaning graves and remembrance or just part of a three day weekend.Memorial Day, which changes everything but the basic concept!
He approached Dark Horse Comics, who had been attempting to spin up a film production company of their own, but found their violent and puerile The Mask not in keeping with the image that he wanted for Hollywood Pictures. He looked at Malibu Comics, but again it had dark stories about evil government “Men in Black” agents ala The X-Files that hypnotized teens into committing suicide. Hardly the stuff of a fun family summer adventure movie.
I think it would be very beneficial for Disney to renovate Times Square, given its potential as a major tourist hub, starting with the New Amsterdam Theatre and the Disney Store. Heck, it's probably even easier for ITTL Disney to get other companies to invest in the renovations considering their current connections with Madame Tussauds and Marriott, IIRC.
The possibility of a Disney hotel (especially for the DVC) in the heart of New York is incredibly tantalizing to me, and I think it could work once the Vacation Club gets off the ground and people flock in droves to experience the transformation of Times Square by the late 90s/early 00s.
If Disney takes part in the renovation of TImes Square I like the idea of the hotel they build evoking the legacy of famous New York hotels that no longer grace the skyline. Disney could also build an attraction that serves as a fun trip into the history of the Big Apple as well as possibly becoming involved in the proposed rebuilding of Steeplechase Park as a way of convincing the city government about their Time Square renovation plan.Eh, I doubt it if Disney only renovates the theater. Maybe it would be possible if the Disney Times Square Hotel was a reality, since it would have the facilities to keep the costumes and the staff there.
I also found some articles that detailed the renovation of Times Square and the failed DVC resorts, which were quite interesting reads:
Disney Wished Upon Times Sq. And Rescued a Stalled Dream (Published 1998)
Times Square in less than five years has been transformed from lifeless area to arguably most sought-after 13 acres of commercial property in world; how pieces came together with such speed after languishing for over 15 years is story that has as much to do with chance and perception as it does...www.nytimes.comYesterland: Four More Disney Vacation Clubs That Might Have Been

That could be one of the reasons, besides the overall expense of the project, that WestCOT was ultimately scrapped in OTL.The whole concept of EPCOT itself became rapidly outdated once people started to seriously distrust companies like Monsanto by the 60s and 70s. It's a product of 50s optimism and corporatism that would never work in the 90s, much less now, so there's basically no reason for Disney to revive that idea.
I generally think Walt would've liked EPCOT Center anyways like Jim Henson, especially in this timeline where the essence of the whole theme park will be preserved long after opening day.
It'd be really funny if the film makes jokes like that that unintentionally paint the film as being pro-LGBT. Like the movie gets an LGBT following because the tone of the jokes makes it seem like it's supporting them.Thunderbirding is an interesting mockbuster film, and it's certainly not something I expected from the TL, but welcome nonetheless.
I wonder if they kept the homoerotic tones of Top Gun and other films there, because those would've been really fun to make fun of in the parody, especially since it's apparently a rom com! 🤣
What if it's not real, but a living history type thing?
Show how people from a few different decades lived.
That could also mean it's a lot smaller too, a little neighborhood with a house from each period they want to do.
And now I'm imagining a Disney competitor having a ride that's a satirical take on the cliche "house of tomorrow" ride where the retro-futuristic "house of tomorrow" goes disastrously wrong for the hapless people on the ride. Either it could be a silly version where the automated house runs amok or a black comedy horror version where the automated house's amenities go completely Skynet and start bloodily murdering the visitors. Like scenes of horror made humorous by the now very ironic cheerful ride narration playing over them.But why do it with cast members when audio-animatronics do it well enough and without the ethical implications?
That's basically Carousel of Progress/Horizons if you think about it.
Good question.Just a weird question, but what’s happening with Doctor Who right now?
Maybe it becomes a licenced Deadlands movie as it should be!Meanwhile, Wild Wild West may look way way weirder.
No David Letterman, who while he might not have the wide appeal of Leno will probably still become a successful host.So who takes over the Tonight Show... Jon Stewart?
A thought occurs to me, but if Will Smith got a guest star/cameo on Family Matters and/or A Different World that lead to another guest star and/or co-star on another sitcom. In fact if we can prevent Redd Foxx's death Will Smith could maybe make his acting debut on The Royal Family as the stars youngest son who's in a local college.Yeah, Will Smith might actually stay as a rapper instead the multimedia star that we know of today without Fresh Prince, which is actually crazy to think about, given how much of a icon he is OTL.
Or about a reporter reporting on the local Memorial Day festivities.It's either a day or cleaning graves and remembrance or just part of a three day weekend.
This is probably the most we'll get on this.Looking forward to hearing more about what the film does with it.
No, he just licensed their IPs film rights.Did Esiner but Eclipse and Calibur comics to get Miracleman and The Crow?
David Letterman like Johnny Carson originally wanted. I don't think Jon Stewart is know will enough to get The Tonight Show at this time.So who takes over the Tonight Show... Jon Stewart?
Have you ever seen the original TV series? The film seems close enough to the source material. Plus Deadlands has far more horror material than any version of Wild, Wild West.Maybe it becomes a licenced Deadlands movie as it should be!
Technically Disney did not need to participate in Steeplechase Park in order to help renovate Times Square IIRC (the one thing that got the ball rolling was them renovating the New Amsterdam Theater) but it could be possible since Disney is arguably far more generous ITTL. As for the hotel, the design of it resembling an old New York hotel is an interesting idea, since the scale of the building might make it standout over its older counterparts despite having similar architecture. Not entirely sure that the hotel/entertainment complex would have rides but I won't be surprised if there were tidbits of old New York history and culture spread throughout the building.If Disney takes part in the renovation of Times Square I like the idea of the hotel they build evoking the legacy of famous New York hotels that no longer grace the skyline.

No, WestCOT was different from original EPCOT, being a reflection of the current EPCOT center in WDW. In fact, you could say that WestCOT was an improvement over the original with its streamlined integration of both World Showcase and Future World in a compact space.That could be one of the reasons, besides the overall expense of the project, that WestCOT was ultimately scrapped in OTL.
I reckon it would be Universal that would make that ride as a spoof on the overly optimistic Tomorrowland 1955, but maybe that's something for their Halloween events. We have haunted houses....but what about haunted houses in the future?And now I'm imagining a Disney competitor having a ride that's a satirical take on the cliche "house of tomorrow" ride where the retro-futuristic "house of tomorrow" goes disastrously wrong for the hapless people on the ride.

Doctor Who is still alive, but in an animated series format after the severe backlash of the 8th Doctor, with the 9th Doctor coming up later on (like 1993?). Although, we don't exactly know when a live action revival will return to DW, but at least it will come back to the Brits eventually....Just a weird question, but what’s happening with Doctor Who right now?
Maybe that's possible, but I'll wait for Geekhis to chime in on the topic.A thought occurs to me, but if Will Smith got a guest star/cameo on Family Matters and/or A Different World that lead to another guest star and/or co-star on another sitcom.
