Or Hong Kong Disneyland. From what I can tell that theme park was a dud second only to EuroDisney. And it was immediately undercut by Shanghai Disneyland.

EuroDisney, Hong Kong Disneyland, and California. All three missed the mark to some extent. EuroDisney was so bad that so many projects were abandoned because of the financial burden it caused.

Well EuroDisneyland would have happened even before the POD I proposed. It opened in 1992.

    So, we have not one, but two divisions of Disney delving into Japanese anime dubs, the anime was both popular and available, and it aired on a network that would treat the stuff with respect.

    I just have a multi-part question about this. How successful was it, and what timeslot did it get on SBC?

    It was a modest success at best. SBC gave it an 8pm timeslot. ABC, CBS and NBC are not really anime friendly at the moment ITTL.

    Grantray-Lawrence probably did the actual dubbing while 20th Century-Fox Television did the American distribution.

    Well, for a first attempt, it's something. Let's go through the positives:
    -8 P.M. is either when primetime television starts or when it gets more viewers.
    -SBC actually allowed the show to be aired on broadcast television compared to the other three networks.
    -It was a success. Sure, it wasn't groundbreaking, but it was a success nonetheless.
