Released by Walt Disney Pictures on December 7, 1990.

Directed by
Chris Columbus

Written and Produced by
John Hughes

Music
John Williams

Edited by
Raja Gosnell

Cast
Same as OTL

Notes
- ITTL, Home Alone was released a month later than OTL to avoid this film and The Rescuers Down Under cannibalizing each other.
- ITTL, at the request of director Chris Columbus, the TV spots and trailers use Leopold Stokowski's recording of The Russian Dance from the Nutcracker segment of Fantasia. John Williams had yet to record the Holiday Flight cue when the trailers and commercials were being produced. That came last during the scoring session.​

1: To be honest, I would have preferred a December premiere for this movie, given how unapologetically Christmas the film is.
2: That would have actually got me to watch the film when it was out in theaters. I mean, that's one of my favorite classical tunes in history.

Don’t you mean motion capture
 
1. Nothing against Warners. In fact, I was contemplating that they'd pick up DiC, Merv Griffin Enterprises and a few more anime properties like DBZ and Sailor Moon pretty soon. Maybe Namco or Time Inc too.
2. Yup, hypocrisy to the max.
3. I'm afraid so.
I support Warner acquiring Merv Griffin enterprises , and anime such as DBZ and Sailor Moon and Namco. Warner has already has a decent animation/ children properties division and since dic has such a great children's programing library part of I feel that it should go to something with a smaller children's division like the Metromedia, Carolco, or Grand Diamond. On the over hand Warner bought the family channel and buying Dic/Saban would help Warner Family Commptin. Then again if Dic Saban buyout someone other then Warner Dic Saban can still put thier programs on Warner Family and I like the idea of atleast one major animation studio not being own by the same compan as a tv channel and putting all theier programing on that channel.
 
Will you be covering the 1991 soviet august coup and the berlin wall taken. I hope Bundy will be out the door be the berlin wall so he can't take credit for ending the cold war. Wil
Bundy's victory in '88 is being investigated by Mueller.

Yeah. I've got something to say. How did people react to Hanna-Barbera collaborating with Ruby-Spears to bring Tom and Jerry Kids to life? I mean, didn't Ruby and Spears use to work for Bill and Joe?
Joe Ruby and Ken Spears did indeed work for HB before starting their own studio. Critics basically clamored for more collaborations.

While you be covering the soviet 1991 augsut or will ingore it because things turn out like they did otl. If you cover it will the coup succesed lead to a few years of hardline communist rule that cause the soviet eccomny to take leading to bloodly soviet cival war that result in any even more ravaged and and balkanized sovite union. I like of modern russia being borken into at least 8 states includeing a commnist rump state a puntinst regine a russian orthodox theocary a new rusain tsar dom an indpent chensyna and several pro american indpenet states. Alternatly the august coup could be butterlied and gobhrove passes his new soviet consiton based on western style liberal democary and increased autunony for the federal states
 
Entertainment News for January 1991
SECOND CHANCE MIRACLE!
Scott Norwood missed a field goal wide right in the closing seconds of Super Bowl XV (at Tampa Stadium). However, a penalty was called against the New York Giants for having twelve men. That gave Norwood a second chance on which he capitalized to win the game and the championship for the Buffalo Bills by the score of 22-20.

Their hypocrisy continues.

I'm not surprised if their silence on John K.'s new cartoon while their criticisms of people against actual immoral people like Bundy and Gotti will immediately invalidate them even among conservatives.

1: I'm afraid I'll have to piggyback off of @Denliner's response to this, because I can't add to that.
2: Well, chances are that the Wildcat's a newer system than the Genesis, so that feels more excusable. Heck, it gives Nintendo an even bigger need to push forward in graphical power, as even Disney is topping them in the sales.
3: For the record, I agree with the reviewers.
