Can that please not be released by Disney, or at all if possible?
I'm not sure. Don Bluth is the head of their animation division, and Thumbelina is one of the few stories the studio didn't adapt IOTL.

On the subject of the Catwoman feature, will it be animated or live-action?
Entertainment News for Early April 1994
"Your fugitives are Bridgette St. Pierre and John Kricfalusi. Let's go get 'em!" That was the highlight of the April 2, 1994 edition of Saturday Night Live as Tommy Lee Jones faithfully recreated his speech from The Fugitive in search of Simi Valley's most wanted. That same episode was the acting debut of Natalie Portman, who plays Blanche in another skit.

The Simpsons 100th Episode
Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song
The Simpsons 100th Episode.
Aired on April 28, 1994 on Fox.
Notes
- Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song aired with a rerun of Bart the Genius (Season 1; Episode 2) right afterwards.
- The chalkboard gag and couch gags are the same as OTL.
- Bill Oakley and John Weinstein wrote the episode, as they did IOTL.
- Daniel Abbott would later write in his autobiography that this was one of his favorite episodes that he worked on.
- Daniel's contribution to this episode was a cutaway gag, in which Lisa watches a spoof of Clarissa Explains it All. This occurs at the beginning, setting up the geode and show and tell jokes. Daniel later mentioned in the DVD commentary that the inspiration for this spoof came when his son Devon picked out a Clarissa tape on a trip to Blockbuster.

1: What would be the first handful of Masterpiece Collection releases?
2: This could prove fruitful. Not only would we get a more understanding English localization of the pair, but Paramount owning Sega would lead to a great video game or two.
3: Doug Funnie as animated under United Artists Animation or Ruby-Spears, or animated under Hanna-Barbera or Games Animation(AKA: Nickelodeon Animation Studios)...
It's certainly a contest. I don't know who to pick here.
4: Might I recommend Sarah Michelle Gellar for the job? I mean, Usagi and Buffy are practically the same if you think about it.
5: And not an animated series first? For shame.
6: Ladies and gentlemen, FART has done yet ANOTHER shameful act of incompetence. Just add it onto the pile already so we can all go home.

Has Hanna-Barbera been making progress on their five-picture dubbing deal with Studio Ghibli? If so, has Iwao Takamoto been given his dues as the designer of some of the studio's biggest non-Henson classic characters?
I wasn't sure which title to do next. Plus I didn't want it to be too soon after Totoro.
It'll be either Christmas 1994 or Summer 1995 when Batman 3 comes out.
