As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

I wonder if Metromedia is considering launching another network. Would it be possible for this network to be SBC News, Game Show Network, or SBC Sports.
While, I'm on the topic, I'd like to see a list of SBC's news personalities.
Speaking of news networks will since rupert murdoch dosn't own fox do you think he would lauch sky news america
 
Any questions, comments, etc. before we move forward?

I thought I'd share this:

First off, that is a cool logo, plain and simple.

Second off, aside from Rankin-Bass, which Paramount just acquired, how much animation is in their content library?

I hope that Hewlett-Packard, Pepsi, Kodak, or Johnson & Johnson can start a studio using the names Artisan Entertainment, Spyglass Entertainment, or Eye of the Storm Pictures.

1: Nothing too major on NBC's part, but that's subject to change.
2: This makes it even stranger that David the Gnome was dubbed by Miramax, given the existence of George Liquor.
3: Has there been any TMNT or Filmways content in the Disney Adventures comics?
4: Glad to see Disney owns a majority of the Roger Rabbit franchise. It makes it easier to make it a franchise in the first place.
5: Wasn't Pixar supposed to be included in Amblin's catalog?
6: I think there is just enough content to create Cartoon Network in 1992, when you consider Turner's cartoon library consisting of Tom and Jerry, Droopy, Thundarr, Alvin and the Chipmunks, He-Man, and Little Lulu. Certainly not as expansive as Hanna-Barbera's properties, but it certainly helps.
7: Are there any plans for a Robotech-themed Ice Capades show? Just putting that out there.
8: It's about time Famous Studios got a name change!
9: I guess Paramount isn't ready for its own cartoon channel.
10: Would it be complete anarchy to imagine Rambo against a Xenomorph or the Predator?
11: I'm amazed that TimeWarner now owns Sports Illustrated.

Disney Adventures is barely starting out, but yeah they've had Turtle stuff in a few issues already.
To be fair, SI has been part of Time's print stable this whole time.

It is, but they haven't put anything out yet except for the OTL shorts.
IOTL, I felt like Cartoon Network wasted the title Down Wit' Droopy D on repackaged theatrical shorts when it could've been a whole new Droopy series.

1: Fair enough on both cases.
2: Well, that's still worth mentioning in and of itself.
3: Seeing as though they don't own HB, why not use the talk show format for this show? Just have Droopy, McWolf, Miss Vavoom, and the rest of the MGM cartoon stars that Turner owns work a talk show with the natural hijinks that will ensue from this, and success would likely follow suit.

So I have been quiet about asking this... But I am kinda surprised that Disney dubbed the Akko-chan anime but not the Sally the Witch anime (both series) as well? Since those two anime are basically the foundation of Magical Girl anime in general, wouldn't Disney also try to dub Sally as well? I honestly would love that tbh... I was going to ask that way back when the timeline was in the 1960s but I kinda wanted to see where it was going.

Also, how is Disney's relationship with Toei Animation in general? Since IOTL Toei and Disney have had, thanks to Power Rangers, a rocky end. Toei was basically Disney of Japan so I was curious how Disney would see Toei ITTL. Hopefully way better, though...

I may get hated, but there is a way to have Power Rangers be adapted ITTL with Saban thanks to Disney. Since Marvel, IOTL, have a good relationship with Toei thanks to their adaptation of Spider-Man. Maybe Stan Lee and Gene Pelc (The guy who produce the Spider-Man series in Japan) to finally give Super Sentai (The show Power Rangers adapts from) a shot. Saban would been trying to sell his pitch for Bioman and would wind up working with Lee and Pelc to convince Disney to give it a shot. It would still be a good idea to adapt Zyuranger first, to at least give it a good base for the show.
 
It's probably too late to adapt the franchise from Bioman. If Jurassic Park is delayed or butterflied, then Jetman has a a very high chance of being adapted first since that was the initial start of the franchise before Jurassic Park and its popularity forced them to capitalize on the dinosaur trend.

Jurassic Park is still going to be a thing, and I plan to keep it at Universal.

I might have the MMPR produced elsewhere.

Droopy Dog Coast to Coast?
 
Droopy Dog Coast to Coast?
Pretty much, yeah. Although, I'd rather have SGC2C still be made at Hanna-Barbera with the title intact, while the title of "Down Wit' Droopy D" gets used for my talk show idea. Maybe Space Ghost's interpretation is made after seeing the success of Droopy's talk show, similar to how OTL Power Rangers became popular after Jurassic Park became such a monumental hit? Just throwing that out there.

So, will DreamWorks happen, and if so will it be owned by Kodak, Westinghouse, General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, or Dr Pepper?
 
Jurassic Park is still going to be a thing, and I plan to keep it at Universal.
It's definitely going to be a matter of when it is going to be released as to whether Zyuranger or Jetman will be adapted by Saban. I do hope that Zyuranger is the first franchise since Power Rangers will be more successful due to the dinosaur mania of the 90s.
 
So, will DreamWorks happen, and if so will it be owned by Kodak, Westinghouse, General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, or Dr Pepper?
At first, it'll be owned by Spielberg, Katzenberg and Geffen. But Paul Allen of Microsoft will still pitch in $500 million as he did IOTL.
