As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

True. But keep in mind that the AFRTV group is mainly made up of people with little to no knowledge of animation.

Basically idiots who don't care for any other people opinions and loves hearing themselves talk like morons.

That, and also the people that tried to get Married with Children and Beavis and Butthead cancelled IOTL.

They're also lazy morons who want to be able to have the television babysit their children.

Reaction to Raiders of the Lost Ark
Selleck excels as Indy.
- The Denver Post

A daredevil who hates snakes? That is definitely worth lining up nine hours to see.
- The St. Louis Post Dispatch

Would the role of Indy have been played the same had they cast Harrison Ford?
- The Chicago Tribune

Can't go wrong with the music of John Williams.

I hope that Racheal Stone universe earlier then Rebbeca Sugar did otl. Do anyone like the steven universe permiier a few years earlier then in the orignall american magic say around 1995. Speaking of Rachea Stone there is another cartoon that I think would perfect project for create ealier then it was created otl, 12 Forever. The good thing about having Racheal stone create 12 forever is we don't have to worry about being canccelled after one season despite rave reviews because of the Julia Vickerman scanddle

I would go with corman,. Normally I believe in differentiating American magic 2.0 form the onrial american magic and otl but the corman ruby spears purchase is one thing i support carrying oer form otl. I also support having mighty the armadill as sega massot like he was in the orignal american magic. I
 
One question, will the Super Mario series be different if an actual Super Mario Bros. 2 (which wasn't the Lost Levels (the Japanese SMB2 IOTL) nor a reskinned Doki Doki Panic (the American SMB2 IOTL)) gets made?

There is an old comic book character called Modesty Blaise. I feel like Corman should buy the rights to Modesty Blaise.

Harrison Ford needs a breakout role, considering we've taken Han Solo and Indy away from him. Either Willie Gavin in Modesty Blaise (if that gets made) or Nick Fury in Captain America.

We could retcon Alien and have his breakout role be Captain Dallas.

Could be Michael Biehn unless there's someone younger or better for the part.

Questions submitted by @Mitch!

For one thing, there’s the planned creation of Orion Pictures Corporation as an animation house, following a merger of Filmation, DePatie-Freleng, and Murakami-Wolf-Swenson. What is the reason for this studio receiving the Orion name, and will it remain independent or be bought out?

At the last minute, MWS dropped out, leaving Filmation and DePatie-Freleng to be part of the Orion studio. Both will be merged together in a leveraged buyout by the Berkshire-Hathaway conglomerate.

Then, there’s the scheduling conflict regarding Magnum, P.I. and Raiders of the Lost Ark, which could determine the future careers of Tom Selleck and Harrison Ford. Depending on how this is resolved, will Ford be able to portray Thomas Magnum, should Selleck receive the role of Indy?

Selleck now plays both Indy and Magnum.

There’s also the rise of the Americans for Responsible Television in the public eye, after several members of ART demanded Fox censor scenes from their anime dubs. Does this confirm, with or without Ronald Reagan in the White House, that the “Religious Right” has come to America?

Reagan IS the head of ART, making the former actor the biggest thorn on the SCAA's side.

After that is the latest excerpt from Daniel Abbott’s biography, which covers his recent decision to leave Filmation, and all that surrounded it. As it turns out, the excerpt ended with a phone call between Abbott and Richard Williams. Is Abbott about to appear in The Thief and the Cobbler?


The Thief and the Cobbler was put on hold after the Danjaq/Williams partnership fizzled.

Abbott is currently working incognito at Hanna-Barbera to help the FBI's surveillance of John K.

Finally, on a lesser note, there’s the revelation that John Belushi has been “135 days sober and counting” as of his long-awaited return to Saturday Night Live on NBC. Which of Belushi’s post-rehab sketches have gone on to be highlights of his comedic repertoire since their debut?

Belushi played Zack Dillinger in a sketch spoofing the formation of the SCAA's Cartoon Czar office. Also in that same sketch, Mary Gross plays Margaret Loesch.

"Now remember Danny, your new name is Trevor Strong, you're from Sydney and a newcomer in the cartoon business. You don't need to do anything else except act natural, talk natural and draw natural. BUT, you gotta get that dirty Canuck motherfucker to talk."

DANIEL ABBOTT (alias TREVOR STRONG)

"I'll get him to sing!"

I wonder though if a more "polished" variant of the prototype TriStar logo I made a few pages back will be used as the opening logo for at least Catfish Bend.
