As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux
- Thread starter OldNavy1988
- Start date
Personally, I'd go with either a re-dub of Kimba or a dub of Gatchaman under the name of Birds of Balance, due to the bird theme and the science plot. Either one could work as a first attempt, but the other four could be used later on ITTL.
If a version of Disney's Hollywood studios exists in this thread it's not going to be called Disney Hyperion Studios then. You wouldn't name a studio after an artsy indie brand. So Disney Hyperion Studios, if it even exists in this thread, would possibly be Disney Fox Studios.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Released by 20th Century-Fox on October 3, 1975.
Everything in Rocky Horror is the same. But ITTL, the film carries greater significance as Fox's first release after the studio was sold to Walt Disney Productions just months prior.

Up next, we will finally get to Beauty and the Beast.
After that, we will hear from the Jim Cornette of western animation.

If @OldNavy1988 does turn Hyperion into an arthouse/indie studio they could this as the new logo for it:
I know but that was before Disney bought 20th Century Fox, plus this was used OTL for Hyperion Books owned by Disney.

Reaction to Beauty and the Beast
Mr. Disney, just because Dolly Parton has big boobs doesn't mean the female lead in your newest cartoon movie needs to have them too. Just a thought.
- The Village Voice
While some critics can't get past Belle's cup size, you can't deny how well the songs are interwoven into the plot.
- The San Francisco Chronicle
You had to be there when Dad gave the finger to [MPAA chief] Jack Valenti when we screened the film for the rating board.
- Walt Disney, Jr. in an interview with The Rolling Stone
First they came after Walter Lantz and now Walt Disney. Will these self righteous moral guardians quit ruining cartoons for the rest of us?
- Letter to The Denver Post
That first song was enough to keep me engaged with the entire film.
- The New York Times
Forget about the cup size or the visible panty lines. Can't we just talk about how memorable the songs are?
- The Boston Globe
How could you not love Burt Reynolds as the Beast?
- The Oregonian

From Alice's panty shots and now Belle's breast size, something tells me that animators might be interested in given the main Disney girls/princesses some...ahem...additional features...
All seriousness though, I see we have quite a fair number of a British cast on this film. I think what I'm interpreting from this, if you agree with me on this, that ever since Hansel and Gretel many British actors/comedians might see Disney as a way to break into America by staring in the animated films or perhaps other related Disney features. I'm certain Billy Connolly will be a shoo-in to star in a Disney film at this rate much earlier.
This might become perhaps a tradition in future Disney films for this happen and might have interesting butterflies for comedians that might for better or worse change their career like Freddie Starr or Stanley Baxter for example if they try and get recognised Stateside ITTL.

Billy Connolly played Ben in Pocahontas IOTL right?
I'll definitely need to find roles for Starr and Baxter for sure.
The underground comix still being churned out in San Francisco by Rip Off Press and Last Gasp have artists already doing it in parody strips and whatnot.
