    Considering that it was an HBO special IOTL, it makes sense that their TTL parent company would distribute the film. Plus, I knew it was too good for television.

    You like the voice cast ITTL?
    Click to expand...
    Yes. I especially appreciate casting Jonathan Taylor Thomas as the lead, as Klasky-Csupo did the animation for the first three seasons of The Simpsons while tackling this. And since The Simpsons is a Disney production since the Tracey Ullman days, and with Disney not needing a Renaissance period yet still churning out hit after hit...

    Cam Clarke as Rocksteady

    After his embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Turtles in part one, the Shredder (James Saito), with help from alien overlord Krang, returns to New York for revenge. This time, Shredder has enlisted mutants of his own to help him on his quest. Their names; Bebop and Rocksteady. When Shredder learns of how the Turtles and their mentor Splinter came to be, he becomes more sinister than in the first film. Tonally, the film is similar in tone to the first film, with the Turtles being allowed to use their weapons more often on screen than they did in the OTL version. On top of all that, the Turtles must confront the Mousers which were introduced in the second issue of the original Mirage comics.

    It's kind of a shame that the animated version has pretty much disappeared IOTL.

    Also, I cast JTT because IOTL, I thought Danny Tamberelli was too weepy in his voice acting.

    As did the rest of HBO's kid-friendly programs, with the possible exception of Crashbox.

    Well, isn't that the point of Alexander in the OTL special to be whiny and weepy? I mean, he's a kid.

    Bit late catching up on the TL however regarding the Orlando Universal Park opening and likely being successful, are we going to see the European Universal Studios project E.G Milton Keynes as you considered, going ahead soon? Interesting what differences this park would have to it's sister parks should it go ahead and expect theme parks in Europe during the rest of the decade to have some crazy butterflies all over the place.

    So, with Hollywood Pictures distributing Klasky-Csupso's first animated project, I wonder if that means that HBO might air Rugrats ITTL.

    How do you like Billy Connolly as Groundskeeper Willie and Captain Haddock?

    Not quite. I think Rugrats might end up still being one of Nick's first Nicktoons.

    Also, Klasky-Csupo will likely continue producing stuff for multiple networks. Duckman, for instance, might be more likely for HBO or Encore if USA Network doesn't pick it up.

    Thanks!
    At least something from Klasky-Csupo would appear on HBO. Not only that, but considering they were the ones that first aired the Urusei Yatsura dub from Disney and Fox, you'd think they would get as much unique adult animation as possible to satisfy those cravings.

    Hanbara was the presosor of cartoon network studios and this timeline this timeline hanaba owns nickoldeon. So i assume some cartoon cartons like jhonny bravo and ed edd and eddy will air on neicoldeon and some nicktons may end up cartoon neteork or the warner freeform/warner family chan. However some otll carton carton may end up on networks other then nickoleon r becasue thier creator may end up working for companies other then habara. ALs
