As Dreamers Do Part Deux

4: Really? There's paparazzi awaiting a rehab session? Have they no shame?
5: I can't wait to see what Disney cooks up.

Paparazzi camped out to hound Greg Rhodes in 1991, but that got little attention due to then-President Ted Bundy's quagmire in the Persian Gulf.

Sydney had a Fox Studios IOTL, but the backlot tour and other attractions closed after a year and a half. Also, IOTL, Rupert Murdoch supposedly used taxpayer money to make that happen.

The purchase of wonderland syndy is the first time disney bought out a park rather then build one from scarch. Does anybody think that disney would ever buy and convert any other pre existing parks like the Uk's American Adventure, Turkeys Wonderland Eurasia Kuwait Entertainment City or Argentina's Prague Cuidau . There is also brazils terra eccnhaca but the parks history of accidents and voilent roits may cause disney to shy away

 
Up next:
Spy Kids
Universal Studios Japan
Shrek
Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Any questions before we proceed?
Yes, with Cats and Joseph animated films being released by Dreamworks like in the old TL, I'm guess that Starlight Express will be coming out for 2004 as in for the musical's 20th anniversary by this point? Might be a chance to tweak the cast list before then if that's possible.

Plus I had a thought that for 2002, we had Takeshi's Castle released on Challenge TV however I had a thought that if we are getting a bit more Japanese related material coming out in the west a bit more ITTL E.G perhaps the original Godzilla Toho films for release in the UK far sooner rather than fans having to import them? An idea could be if you are interested in doing is having Takeshi's Castle being picked up by the BBC instead though still keep Craig Charles as the narrator as he is the key to making the success it was IOTL. Actually having the show coming out on the BBC (I could totally being released out on BBC Two here) could make the show far more popular as not only would it be getting a bigger TV audience by being on a MSM channel but thanks to the there being no commercials on any BBC channel, there is the chance that they could still make it as a half an hour slot as OTL but pad out it with the many comedy skits that we never got to see from the original Japanese broadcast that could be ripe to adapting at the hands of Craig Charles' narration while we can still get the specials later on such as the monster episode and such.

Making Takeshi's Castle even bigger in the UK far more than OTL does make me happy and hopefully home DVD releases and dare I say other merchandise sales should they get the rights to do so here would make a tidy sum of money for the BBC. :)
 
We'll very great! But Exit Wounds from New Line Cinema is already released and Spy Kids from Touchstone/Dimension is on the way, so I'll name the Quentin Tarantino Star Trek film from RKO as Star Trek: Prophecy. BTW, Keanu Reeves is starring in the long-awaited Dr. Strange from 20th Century-Fox, set to be directed by music video director Joseph Khan in his feature film directorial debut, set for summer, alongside Godzilla, Terminator 3 and Xenomorph vs. Predator.

Spy Kids
Released by Dimension Films on March 30, 2001

Written, produced and Directed by
Robert Rodriguez

Cast
Same as OTL

Notes
- Yes, Juni (Daryl Sabara) still calls Carmen (Alexa Vega) "Diaper Lady" in one scene, after it was implied that one of the siblings had bedwetting issues.
- The aforementioned line pretty much helped early fan art sites grow their user bases.​

Knowing what we know now, especially considering that moment in that one 80s show where diaper fixations caused controversy, of which I do not remember the show in question, this is even worse for the legacy of fan art than it is in our own timeline.

It was the infamous Eastland Girls episode where a neighborhood boy is lured into the Eastland Academy to be sissified (dressed and treated like a baby) for a Home Economics lesson. This was the same episode penned by the notorious John Kricfalusi. And yes, this actually aired on a Saturday Morning in 1982, thanks to Kricfalusi bribing NBC censors into putting the episode on the air. Norman Lear, executive producer of the live action Facts of Life upon which Eastland Girls was based, has since disowned the animated series. This was produced at Hanna-Barbera while Daniel Abbott worked undercover for the FBI as Trevor Strong. This was the same show that led to stricter boundaries imposed by the Screen Cartoonists Association of America for the remainder of the decade and midway through 1991.

Yes, that one. With the benefit and curse of hindsight, how did people react to that Spy Kids scene by association with Eastland Girls?

By 2001, most people have forgotten about Eastland Girls. ITTL, the diaper references in Spy Kids are a bit more sympathetic to Carmen's implied bladder issues.

If SpongeBob, Fairly OddParents, and The Loud House are all on Cartoon Network, what does this mean for Nickelodeon's share of the cartoon industry?
 
It means Cartoon Network is starting to catch up to Nick.
HELL YEAH!!!! THESE, COMBINED WITH ADULT SWIM, CLASSICS, TOONAMI AND MORE WOULD MAKE CARTOON NETWORK DA CHANNEL 2 WATCH!

Oh. And will Cartoon Network go thru it's downfall ITTL? Or will it remain like the good'ol classic Cartoon Network that we all knew and loved?
