Right, it's a more traditional retelling of the classic story. Treasure Planet was fun, but it was also one of the biggest flops in cinematic history, so perhaps this version will do a bit better for Disney.
I remember, and the mention of Kurt Cobain reminds me: would I be correct in guessing that Kurt and Frances appeared in the "Break Stuff" video instead of the already-dead Marshall Mathers and the never-to-be-born Hailie Jade? (Alternatively, if you hadn't thought about that, feel free to use the idea.)
And while I'm here, do you have any ideas on the Japanese cast of *FFIX? (Since the OTL version was the last Final Fantasy to not have voice acting, we can turn to FFX, and start with Marika Matsumoto as Ifeni and Kôichi Sakaguchi as Cid.)
It doesn't seem like it should be all that vulnerable to butterflies. Considering that Gettysburg came out right after the POD and was pretty much identical to OTL, and considering that Gods and Generals is adapted from a book that came out in 1996 and so it probably still gets written ITTL, I imagine we still see Gods and Generals get made into a movie. Whether or not the critical reception is better has yet to be seen, though I've got to say I can't imagine the film doing too much better than it did IOTL. The film was adapted into a godawful video game! I almost thought of making it a launch game for the Wave as a joke, but I just can't. It's not plausible. It would be so funny, but it's not plausible
Spirited Away is just fine. It might come out even better than IOTL, if that's even possible.

Mmmm....I don't think we'll be seeing Kurt Cobain in any Limp Bizkit videos anytime soon. I can't figure out who would be in "Break Stuff" in Eminem's place though, maybe Tupac?
I'm not familiar enough with seiyuu to come up with anything, I suppose I'd have to look up characters they might be like and start from there! Those two work for those roles though.
I would imagine they would look for seiyuu acording the game, this one the one worked in otl turn a Gundam and the big o would be good choices for this one, sakurai( not that one) too.
Oh my god, you killed Elsa and Anna. Bastards!
Don't worry, maybe there will be another movie in Disney's future full of catchy songs and sisterly incest.
And, speaking of butterflies, one of my not-so-guilty pleasures, K-Pop girl group 2NE1, was forcibly disbanded by their record label last week, after years of mind-boggling mismanagement by said record label and years of just as mind-boggling mistreatment by their hypocritical, incompetent and misogynistic CEO.
A few years ago, it seemed like they could've debuted in the US, having impressed will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and several influential personalities in the American music industry, but the whole thing was shelved, and right now all we have is former 2NE1 member Lee Chae-rin's half-assed and half-baked attempt at an US debut.
Now, we've had a Latin boom in this TL, would it be possible to have a K-Pop boom as well, spearheaded by what probably is the biggest missed opportunity in the genre's recent history? Making their label give at least a few fucks about the girl group's youngest and most mistreated member, Gong Min-ji, would prevent her from drifting apart from the rest of the group and eventually leaving it altogether, and maybe an US debut would give Park Bom an opportunity to see a decent shrink - that poor woman has a case of body dysmorphic disorder only slightly less insane than Michael Jackson's, and she's been clinically depressed since before her debut, something that blew up in her face (South Korea's public opinion treats antidepressants as if they were hard drugs) and indirectly led to their disbandment.
Alongside BABYMETAL, 2NE1 is the one and only girl group I've ever liked, they deserve better than what OTL gave them.

If @RySenkari or any other contributors to this timeline need inspiration for alternate Disney films, there's a whole Wikipedia page full of films the company planned IOTL, but never got around to making: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unproduced_Disney_animated_shorts_and_feature_filmsDon't worry, maybe there will be another movie in Disney's future full of catchy songs and sisterly incest.
It might be, but I can't think how.
Works for me.
Thanks! (And the full cast list of FFX might be a good starting point. I'm particularly up for Masakazu Morita [OTL Tidus] as Scav, since he'll never get to voice Ichigo Kurosaki ITTL...)
Leaning toward no, but we'll see.

A K-Pop boom could be interesting but we'd have to do some research on the subject to craft something that could fit into the timeline. There's still plenty of time left until it'd happen, I can't see it cropping up until 2010 at the earliest.
Tam Lin is something I definitely want to do at some point. As for the others....we've delayed Disney's full transition to CGI, but I'm sure it'll happen eventually, probably around the latter part of the decade. We'll see what happens at that point.
Totally butterflied away.
Like most Americans, my intro to K-pop was Psy (the "Weird Al" of Korea as I understand); but I've looked up some more, and I like it; it would be cool if there was K-pop boom in American culture.
That having been said, given the level of Japanese influence in the video game industry and the increased early popularity of anime in the U.S., wouldn't a J-pop boom (possibly precipitated by a re-licensing of the Macross franchise and the release of their soundtrack albums) be more likely?
