Yeah, but first we'll get to the following....
Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure (Richard Williams)
Where the Wild Things Are (Warner Bros; CMJ)
Yes Wild Things will be animated.
Hmmm....how much did Marvel really contribute to the mythos of those toylines IOTL? It's pretty tempting actually.
Ok. But if Marvel does partner with Hasbro ITTL, you'll likely see this logo at the end of each episode.
But that's only the first of two logos that'll close each episode of GI Joe, Transformers, etc. The second will be either one of these, which will be determined by user vote.
I vote marvel then 20th television Fox then Walt Disney televisionOk. But if Marvel does partner with Hasbro ITTL, you'll likely see this logo at the end of each episode.

Call me crazy, but I actually want to see Walt Disney Television become the logo of choice. I mean, can you see Transformers become a staple of The Disney Afternoon?But that's only the first of two logos that'll close each episode of GI Joe, Transformers, etc. The second will be either one of these, which will be determined by user vote.

If it does well, would be quite good to put Toho to do more collaborations that might help them move away from the cheap Godzilla B-movies of the 70's especially with the large budget they have with this film, they'll likely give Star Wars a run for their money visual effects wise.
Hopefully a Nessie series afterwards
Does anyone like idea of a failed movie otl doing better otl. I know a movie 1979 bomb with a great premise and soundtrack but it suffered form a low budget mostly poor casting choices (Harvey koreman was a good choice for the rule of a drug addicted wash-outed celebrity turned telethon host) and first time director. The movie was called Americathon. It was about a bankrupt future America trying use a telethon to raise money to prevent a major corporation form foreclosing on the country. . If you are intrigued Old navy follow this link for more details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americathon.
And if Disney wants to pair the two for drive-ins, calling it a "Freak Streak" would be the best name for it.
It honestly depends on who owns DC Comics, because if you ask me, pairing MAD with DC is such a natural fit that it would be crazy to be with any other publisher.
I'd pick Ladd Jr. to run RKO. I mean, now that Fox is a division of Disney, we have a Jr. in the high ranks already, making his tenure at Fox seem useless.
I have no idea what Catfish Bend is, but if it's a series, it could make a lot of money for an upstart like Nelvana.
I would go with Columbia for Narnia. The rhyme was not intentional.
Well maybe some box office bombs can be more Successful in places like England and Australia and Canada.
I should have mentionthis but There are a few frims that I feel that should be mentioned. For starter we should mention Embassy pictures. We should also mention rankin bass , and newline cinema. We may or may not add mongram/allied artist to the list but they are going go out of business in 1979 unless butterfly chage it
