As Dreamers Do Part Deux

Thanks! After all, Universal distributes the DreamWorks films, Microsoft owns Sega as part of Paramount, Universal and Paramount co-own UPN, and Miguel & Tulio themselves have that "frat boy" nature to them at times.

Glad that still exists.

Honestly, it's more surprising to me how the Burger King Kids Club is still around in 2000.

That'll be for another moment, and hopefully with @eldandythedoubter's involvement in the planning.

And if the Fox dubs are still on the table here, why not have Maya the Bee make a cameo in the 100 Acre Wood world?
Ok.

To be fair, BK has been phasing out Kid Vid and the rest of the crew in favor of bringing back the cartoon king from the early 70's (below). The creepy live action King might be butterflied unless his use can be limited to commercials aimed at mostly adults.

With the polls having closed on the west coast, the 2000 Presidential Election has a winner...
Harvey Weinstein, the Republican from California and overseer of the film division of Phil Anschutz's corporate empire. Serving as his vice president will be outgoing Texas governor and former Houston Oilers owner George W. Bush.
How was that possible, since Mc Cain would have obviously drained votes from the Republican side?

1: That is so fitting that I wouldn't be surprised if that happened in real life.
2: Fantastic news!
3: On the one hand, great. On the other hand, it would seem in bad taste in foresight.
4: I can't wait to hear more about it!
5: What a pussycat. He doesn't want to share his legacy with others. I'd say he would be a good fit for the 2004 Presidency, but then again, look at who our President-Elect is ITTL.

I know Vince got released from prison, but after everything he did to Linda; why is he being brought back in any form of management in the WWA?

Also, I've opened up a strawpost for the list of Disney worlds in Kingdom Hearts. The top six world from this poll will be in the game while a second poll will come up for the Cosmos game (it isn't going to be Chain of Memories but a side story detailing what Riku was doing during the events of the first game).

Well this is a great timeline, but Harvey Weinstein will be up as Mario Cuomo is out after eight years! I'll assign Jan De Bont to do Terminator 3 for New Line Cinema as director.

Some rank and file folks within the WWA weren't quite fond of the direction Cornette and Heyman were taking the company, so they bribed the Connecticut state government to get Vince out early.

1: That's just sickening that we'd have that guy as the next Prez.
2: On the other hand, Nickelback didn't even want the invitation? That's news, considering their OTL reputation.
3: I feel bad for Kid Rock to be associated with Ted Nugent.
4: Because of course the network that owns Miramax would cover the studio's founder being sworn in.
5: Okay, so it's not all bad. Just 99.99999999% bad.
6: This oughta be good.

1: Ah, leverage. My long-time frenemy.
2: Uh oh. Here's hoping that this movie can be saved. Otherwise, good luck trying to disown that.
3: Impressive luck for the soon-to-be-franchise!
4: Methinks this year belongs to New Line Cinema. Although, Universal would come in a close second place.
