For most of March 1995, Disney basked in the excitement surrounding the Temple of the Forbidden Eye and The Lion King setting new home video records. However, the studio struggled mightily at the box office.

Heavyweights and Man of the House, both from Hanna-Barbera, gained ground on the waning weeks of Dark Empire's theatrical run, while Hyperion's Ed Wood crashed and burned.

On April 7, 1995, Disney would turn to one of its oldest and most iconic characters to get their theatrical output back on track.


Cashing in on the runaway success of Goof Troop, the film runs very much the same as IOTL, and was produced jointly by the B-squad and three of the studio's television animation branches in France (Paris suburbs), Australia (Sydney) and Canada (Vancouver).


Despite mixed reviews, the film would become an instant hit with fans of the TV series.​

How did Ed Wood fail

Be honest, ITTL, I'm sure there's at least a few of us that would've skated to Blockbuster or SunCoast on roller blades to pick up one of those tapes.

Any questions, comments or ideas before we get in to Wolf Man?

Funny you mention that, hopefully Iron Giant (if released ITTL) does better than OTL and that maybe Disney's Atlantis later on does too.

Incidentally if you remember my comment regarding the Sub attractions, plan for them was to be rethemed to tie in with the film but the bad Box office results killed that plan off. Maybe it'll happen ITTL?
 
Wolf Man (1995 film)

    In Late April 1995, the Universal Monsterverse finally gave the Wolf Man (Mickey Rourke) his own solo film. The story takes place after the events of Universal Monsters (1992), in which Larry Talbot returns home to rural Wales to reconcile with his estranged father (Michael Caine). That would prove to be easier said than done, when suddenly a dangerous Wendigo (Dougray Scott) shows up to wreak havoc on the remote village. Ultimately Talbot must fight two battles at once, one against the Wendigo, the other to reign in the monster within himself.

    Special thanks to @tornadobusdriver for this plot idea.

    CAST
    Mickey Rourke (Larry Talbot/Wolf Man)
    Dougray Scott (Wendigo)
    Michael Caine (Sir John Talbot)
    Cyndi Lauper (Gwen Conliffe)
    Claire Higgins (The Fortune Teller)
    ​
    Although the actual film employs a mostly orchestral score composed by Hans Zimmer, the marketing campaign made heavy use of Metallica's Of Wolf and Man. Creature from the Black Lagoon released the previous August saw ticket sales down 12% from Universal Monsters in '92, but thanks to mostly positive reviews and word of mouth, The Wolf Man got the Monsterverse's box office numbers back on track.
