Anybody i got any idea for orignal cartoon shows for this timeline. Also does captain planet still permier in 1990. with Ted turner not owning hanbara the show may be delayed a few years untill he buys out a different film stuido. If i remember correctly Old Navy suggested that Turner buyout Flim Roman
He'll probably be there for James and the Giant Peach in '96.
That's good to hear since "Good News" is one of Newman's two legitimately good songs.
I don't own this TL. It's OldNavy's decision whether he wants to keep Newman for James (which is why I said "probably").
Fair enough. If OldNavy decides to have Newman still work on James it'd be good. Of course, we're still five years away from that point anyway.
Some time in '91 Disney's going to be announcing Port Disney in Long Beach.
Whichever one has enough land for a resort for two or three parks and a bunch of hotels, pretty much in the size of the OTL resort in Paris, will likely be the direction I might go.
Newman is in. Now to find a good film for You've Got a Friend in Me since Toy Story will be much darker.
Are you going to make it as something from the early drafts? Like when Woody was originally a ventriloquist's doll?
Plus, are we going to have this be in full-blown computer animation or for a more safer animation department? Because if we're going to have a darker animated movie, this might be the stuff to have Tim Burton, Richard Williams, and Don Bluth to collaborate on!
We're not. The closest to OTL Anastasia we are going to get is a Star Wars film named Rise of the Sith where Leia takes the place of Anastasia. The role of Rasputin being filled by a Sith Inquisitor named Darth Tyranus voiced by Tony Jay.
EDIT: Goddamit Autocorrect!
EDIT2: I just realized that since most of the movie would be in the "present" we'd only need the fictional actor to play Young Sheev in flashbacks. Michael Gough can play his force ghost in the movie proper.

Oh yeah, Daniel Abbott was the name of the fictional actor.
I wonder if we should create another one to take over for George Takei as Boba down the road.
Next update will likely be Visionaries going head to head with Lost Lamp.
The Prince and the Pauper will still come out as a short, but I wonder how we can squeeze Oswald in to the story. A coin toss will be needed to determine if it'll play in front of Edward Scissorhands (stop motion) or All Dogs Go to Heaven (2D).
@TheImperialTheorist
Toy Story ITTL will likely be 2D.
Great! That would make sense since, with Walt Disney's death, the company might be less bold and not brave enough for a full-blown computer animated movie. But if that's the case, John Lasseter would have to be replaced...
Perhaps we could use this as the trio's team-up?
The fictional no-name actor can be quickly mentioned as playing the character in flashbacks.
Go with the example of the Abrams Trek movies and cast John Cho.
What's Visionaries about?
Maybe as a cameo. It'd give the viewing public a taste of Oswald before his big movie reintroduction. It could be a scene with a portrait of King Mickey's long-lost brother, which would make the short a prequel to the Oswald movie.
Now I've got the idea that the medieval fantasy "Disney Kingdom" that this story would be set in would have the King be an elderly mouse version of Disney himself. Part of the story's plot would be Mickey trying to find Oswald before King Elias dies.
Plus it opens the door to other stories being told in this setting.
I do think that the 2D traditional Disney animation would work better for Evil Woody than the CG animation would've. Especially if they went the Ventriloquist dummy route.
Yeah, that does sound more appropriate. However, that would mean we'll need a different character than Tiny Toys. Perhaps use Buzz from Toy Story IOTL as a replacement?
Visionaries and the DuckTales movie
In late July 1990, two animated films came out in back to back weeks, first from Universal and Gemini Animation was Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, an ambitious attempt by Hasbro to create a whole universe out of thick cloth try to match the appeal of Walt Disney's Star Wars. It would be the biggest risk of Hasbro's partnership with MCA, and upon the film's release on July 13, 1990, going head to head with Disney's final theatrical reissue of The Jungle Book, it would turn out much better than the OTL incarnation. The free-for-all swordfight between the Spectral Knights and Darkling Lords was Gemini's most expensive sequence to date at a total cost of $400,000 USD. The budget for the entire film was $19.5 million USD.
The following week, Disney released Ducktales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp. With the studio also owning the Indiana Jones franchise outright ITTL, the March from Raiders of the Lost Ark was used in the trailer and TV campaign for this film. If you have a VHS, Laserdisc or DVD copy of the OTL film, you'll get an idea of the quality of the animation from Disney's B-squad, helmed ITTL by Peter Schneider at DHS in Orlando. Released on the 20th of July, the film was able to get a head start over Universal's Problem Child, tripling its total box office gross from OTL.

Fantastic update! Does this mean Disney is more accepting for more Disney Afternoon movies?
