@OldNavy1988, I think the movie should be the same as OTL, just with a Pike narrative depicted through flashbacks. I also think that Brian Bosworth should play Captain America.

"Hey Junior, what's that in your hand?"
Walt, Jr.
"It's a demo reel by a guy named...uh..."
*reads label on the film can*
"...Daniel Abbott."
"He worked on the Narnia picture that United Artists released on Halloween. Here, I'll project it for you."

"How old is he?"
Junior:
"He said he was twenty-one."
Walt, Sr.
"Hmmm...the kid sure has some promise. But I'd say he'll need a little more experience before he's really ready to join our studio. Plus from what I've read in Variety, he oughta' work on that temper too."

Rapunzel was the first Disney film since Fantasia to be mixed in Fantasound.
However, only a handful of theatres at the time were equipped to present the Fantasound mix. These would include:
- Mann's Chinese Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
- Americana (Southfield, MI)
- Northpoint Theatre (San Francisco, CA)
- Uptown Theatre (Washington, DC)
- Centre Theatre (Salt Lake City, Utah)
- Alabama Theatre (Houston, TX)
- Radio City Music Hall (New York City)
- Cine Capri (Phoenix, AZ)
- Mann's Valley Circle Theatre (San Diego, CA)
The multiplexes that were dotting the American landscape instead presented either a mono or stereo sound mix.
Rapunzel received mostly positive reviews, but could only perform no higher than second at the box office behind Star Trek.

There is a series focuses on captain pike called star trek strange new world in the work otl. Thus I pefer the idea of having phase being made. If you insit on a early strange new world then would please consider putting elements of phase two in the captin pike series. Here a link to phase eposidoe ideas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Phase_II
I'm leaning towards Paramount unless there's a case for a different studio.
The reason I said Paramount was mainly because some users pointed out how Columbia rushed the production IOTL.

I guess this might mean that we could get Musicana ITTL too, like in the original American Magic timeline.
Napoleon (1980 Film)
Napoleon
Released in January of 1980 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Produced and directed by
Stanley Kubrick
Starring
Jack Nicholson as Napoleon Bonaparte
Verna Bloom as Josephine
Sir Alec Guinness as Admiral Horatio Nelson
Kenneth Colley as The Duke of Wellington
Kubrick's Napoleon focuses on the imperial reign of the titular character (Jack Nicholson), from his rise out of the ashes of the French Revolution to his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo and at the hands of Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington (Colley).
Some creative liberties were taken with the historical facts to tell the kind of story Kubrick sought to bring to the screen.
Napoleon was a modest hit at best upon its initial release. The film's status as a classic would come later through home video and airings on cable.
