Island at the Top of the World
Island at the Top of the World
Released by Walt Disney, Sr. on December 20, 1974
Island at the Top of the World is still pretty much the same as OTL. While Island was a more modest hit ITTL, it was unable to unseat Night Kitchen from the #1 spot at the box office.
Trivia
Just like IOTL, Island at the Top of the World was originally released in a roadshow package with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too.
The Hyperion blimp lives on as the official Hyperion Pictures logo. The Art Deco H, which was introduced at the beginning of American Graffiti, was criticized for being too bland and dull.

Not gonna lie, I kind of agree that the Art Deco H feels a little bit bland. Speaking of changes from the original source, the update about In the Night Kitchen makes me want to watch the animated short by Weston Woods Studios IOTL, if only to see how adult it is.
I watched that video on Youtube, and YIKES! Let's just say that the censorship was MORE than justified in the movie! Yeesh!
I'm just curious when the next theme park-related post will come up. I'm definitely looking forward to brainstorming TTL-original theme parks like in the last thread.
Right now, the oil crisis has slowed the growth of the park business across the board. Also, I wanna make sure not to oversaturate the parks like we did in the original.
Not really a movie, but the next update may relate to the fate of 20th Century Fox going forward.
One of the flaws of the last thread was that overdid the original theme parks quite a bit. Hopefully, we'll at least be able to keep them from clustering too much this time.
We should keep track of where the major theme parks are to keep from oversaturating the market.
