Alternate Idea for a Man in the High Castle series: It's set in Britain or France, but it revolves around how, despite winning the war, they have effectively been eclipsed by the far more powerful Confederacy to the west and Russia to the East.

A promo image from the Italian Animé series known as Armata Del Liceo or High School Armada, which it was an Italian made response to the runaway success of the British series Azure Lane and was first released in the spring of 2016.
High School Armada was the product of the relatively new Ligurian Animation Studio or Studio di Animazione Ligure, which was based out of the coastal city of Savona in the Kingdom of Italy. The plot followed the crew of the destroyer Bersagliere and it's captain (and protagonist) named Graziana Ferrari who had joined the in the La Spezia Girls Naval Academy in order to join the famous Blue Mermaids. As she and her classmates set out to sea aboard the Bersagliere, an incident would occur with their instructor which would lead them to branded as deserters. The crew of the Bersagliere would embark on a journey to avoid being pursued and also to discover the truth to what is going on. Several ships from the Second Great War era Regia Marina would be featured in the show, such as the Battleships Roma and Andrea Doria, the Maestrale and Soldati class destroyers, and the British heavy cruiser HMS Norfolk (a ship where one of Ferrari's comrades named Wilda Saunders came from.) Since the release of the animé series, a series of graphic novels would be published as well as the release of a mobile-phone game in 2018 and a movie adaptation in 2020.
 
If we assume that the massive parallelism in TL-191 mean that Disney is still making movies, then it would have done many propaganda movies for the war, after that, I dont know... Maybe ole tales like OTL ?
Not to mention, they would be probably making movies and stuff that are least inspired by German folktales.

A promotional image from the Polish TV series Four Barrel-Men and a Dog (Czterej Pancerni I Pies) which was produced and aired from 1966 to 1970. The show's plot would follow four members of a Polish StuG-III assault gun during the Second Great War on the Eastern Front, commanded by Olgierd Jarosz (played by Roman Wilhelmi) until his death in one of the episodes, in which his replacement would be radio operator/gunner Janek Kos (played by Janusz Gajos). The other members of the crew would be loader Gustaw Jeleń (Franciszek Pieczka), Georgian-born driver Grigorij Saakaszwili (Włodmeirz Press), and the replacement gunner Tomasz Czereśniak (Wiesław Gołas) as well as Kos' own German Sherpard named Fellkugel (German word for furball). The show would gain a massive cult following in Poland as well as in Eastern Europe and even a substantial fanbase in Germany, the Danubian Federation, the Ottoman Empire, and in the United States of America.
 
Churchill, Oswald Mosely, Franklin Roosevelt, Heinz Guderian, and even Hitler all existed in TL191 (Turtledove confirmed Guderian's anti-semitic orderly was Hitler)

So what would Family Guy look like iTTL. Keep in mind that Seth McFarlane is from Kent, CT, so that might shape him.

I wonder if ITTL there would be "Featherston jokes" and perhaps a movie about two producers in a money laundering scheme who try to make a flop musical named "Springtime for Featherston."
