As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

[TheFaultsofAlts]

MouseHunt
The first release from DreamWorks SKG

Balto
Released by Universal Pictures
Produced by Universal Cartoon Studios​

Since Universal is currently distributing DreamWorks's films, I can see this as a double feature for those who can spend the money for that. One movie has slapstick comedy from the voice of Timon, while the other has gripping action from the perspective of a dog in Alaska. It would be great!

The Postman
Released by Warner Bros.​

Not bad.

Amistad
Released by Universal Pictures.​

I can see Universal raking in the most money this Christmas, as far as I can see.

Tomorrow Never Dies
Released by Turner under the United Artists label.​

Sweet!

Xenomorph: Resurrection
Released by Carolco
After this film was released, Veronica Cartwright announced her retirement from the Ellen Ripley role.​

Good to see she won't be remembered as just Ellen Ripley.

Good Will Hunting
Released by Golden Harvest
When this film premiered in Boston, Ben Affleck let slip that he was already talking to Columbia-TriStar about playing a younger Dark Knight.​

Love it.

Scream 2
Released by Golden Harvest​

Cool.

What cummu up to lately. Last time you said anything about him he was creating the deparment of homeland security 6 year before bush jr made it otl. I hope that
Cummo moved on to healthcare after getting homeland runing. I would really hope that Healthcare will be the liberal lion instead of bush style war on terror

1: The hosting choices are spot on here, thanks to the legacy of Huck's Landing.
2: Plus, the orchestral medley is fantastic.
3: However, while I am aware of the usage of the Backstreet Boys, and I can draw a straight line between Jodi Benson and The Little Mermaid, what songs did the other musicians perform for this special event?

These two trivia notes are quite easy to expect, yet they still make for good entertainment.

- I've Got No Strings (Pinocchio)
- Zip a Dee Doo Dah (Mickey and the Beanstalk)
- Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo (Cinderella)

He can after he receives permission from the copyright proprietor of those songs.

With Sega being owned by Paramount ITTL, do we still see games based on Disney properties release on Sega consoles ITTL?

 

[Goldwind2]

With Sega being owned by Paramount ITTL, do we still see games based on Disney properties release on Sega consoles ITTL?

Probably not because Disney owns attari

With Sega being owned by Paramount ITTL, do we still see games based on Disney properties release on Sega consoles ITTL?

Only if the two merge together.

 

[myuacc1]

Only if the two merge together.

Disney already has Fox and Atari ITTL, merging with Paramount seems like overkill to me.

Oh I agree. Perhaps the disney sega idea could be explored in if oldnavy decides to an american magic 3.0. I hope old navy will explore the 2010's before he reports again

It’d be interesting to see OldNavy do a American Magic 3.0 if he screws up somehow with As Dreamers Do.

The only way Atari games wind up on Sega consoles is if Atari were to exit the console side of the video game business. And vice versa.

What has will vinton been up to. You were planing on vinton be halmark partner in buying out oddesy but in the end you decided that that halmark teamed up with Bertelsmann and Sony to form crown media instead. perhaps Crown media bought will vinton. It would be better fate for will vinon then having the ceo nike philp knight fund him for a few years only for mr knight to decide he vinton wasn't making enough money, forcelouse on the studio fire vinton replace him with his son travis a failed white rapper leaving vinton with noghtin but a small servance check. At least travis turned out be a good animaitontor being the lead aniamtor on the succesful coraline movie and direcitoing and producing kubo the two strings

1: Cool.
2: What would be the first products from these four studios to reach the DVD market? I would assume one of Disney's first would be Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer, thanks to the original dub's ludicrous success a decade or so prior and the almost unanimous opinion from the UY fandom that it's their best movie ever.
3: Okay.
4: Sweet!
5: This looks good for Fox's slate.
