Hey @TheFaultsofAlts, hasn't it been a minute since you made a new Mickey Mania schedule?
I'm back! And this time, I'll see to the conclusion of Mickey Mania.
Fall 2014:
Mickey Mania:
3:00: Phineas and Ferb
3:30: Pixar Popcorn
4:00: Kingdom Hearts: The Series
4:30: Fish Hooks
5:00: Gravity Falls
5:30: Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja
Mickey Mornings:
8:00: The World According to Winnie the Pooh
8:30: Beverly Hills Chihuahuas
9:00: Disney Bites
9:30: Wander Over Yonder
10:00: The 7D
10:30: Disney's Descendants
11:00: Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero
11:30: Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures
-Beverly Hills Chihuahuas was another cancelled pitch. In our timeline, it was a show meant for Disney Junior. But in this timeline, the fact that Tad Stones would be at the helm would make it more than preschool-friendly.
-Star Darlings is added to Disney Bites to add some female viewers to the show.
-Descendants becomes an animated series, rather than a live-action film franchise. This makes it easier to produce, and easier to make characters for.
-Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures is an earlier version of Tangled: The Series. It still takes place between the movie and Tangled Ever After, but with four seasons instead of three.

-Big Hero 6: The Series is part of Jetix's Marvel Universe block for Marvel-based cartoons. It's also where you would find Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur in this timeline.

-BCG does have a weekday slot, but it's treated as normal programming.
-Sadly, due to the success of Disney+, this shall be the final year for Mickey Mornings, as the animated spectrum of Disney moves to that service.

Dang.
But can we get Jetix lineups as well? This can expand to more than just SatAM. Just not full-on 24/7 channels.
Cool. But what's Star Darlings?
And a Beverly Hills Chihuahuas series was really planned?
And that's cool that Descendants is a series.
Cool, but shouldn't Penn Zero and Randy Cunningham be a part of Jetix?
Nice. And I wonder why The OWCA Files didn't get a FULL series.
Nice............
Wait? Cuphead as a Disney series? How'd that happen?
And can we PLEASE get more Marvel toons?
Unproduced Media
Cool, but I think we could fill that 9:30 slot with something else.
Nice, but why is the true hits, like Amphibia and The Owl House on last? Is it because they're more mature and serialized?
Cool, but what's Varian and the Seven Kingdoms?
I'm surprised Maya and the Three, Kung Fu Space Punch and a Book of Life series aren't on here, nor is El Tigre.
Cool, but there's two more slots we could fill......
Cool.
That's sad, but that's how the cookie crumbles.
So what happens after? Would SatAM animated premieres continue, but under normal branding?
Overall, this has been great!
I doubt it. This was tough to do, so I'll just say that MGM, Marvel, and Star Wars get their own nights on Toon Disney and Jetix, while Disney and Pixar get the big slots on Disney Channel and Disney Junior.

Yes.
Beverly Hills Chihuahuas
After finishing Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva la Fiesta, Disney revealed that plans for an animated TV adaptation of the Beverly Hills Chihuahua film series was in the works by veteran producer Tad Stones (Darkwing Duck, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Jake and the Never Land Pirates) set to...

Yes. Also, Z-O-M-B-I-E-S remains as a film trilogy, but spins off into an animated series in 2024. A lot like OTL, in fact.
Well, there's nothing that says they can't share shows.
Probably because they didn't want to return to established characters like Perry or Doof. Ironic, considering how Dr. Doof is now Disney's answer to The Red Guy from Cow and Chicken.
If you recall, I mentioned how Disney called Studio MDHR for an animation license, which resulted in actual Cuphead shorts starting in 2015, made in co-production with MDHR and Disney. I'd imagine this would be a dream come true for them.
Absolutely. I can't imagine us not getting more Marvel toons in this timeline.And can we PLEASE get more Marvel toons?

Well, I thought it has earned an extra half-hour on Saturdays by that point, being one of the longest-running shows that year not on weekdays.
Yes, and because they're original concepts that could benefit from an early evening strip.
Varian and the Seven Kingdoms
Varian and the Seven Kingdoms was a planned comic book spin-off of Tangled: The Series created by the show's storyboard artists Kaitlyn Ritter and Anna Lencioni and would have followed the character of Varian as he set out on his own adventure following the events of the series. While Disney was...

Well, I was hoping they would be on either Cartoon Network, or a more benevolent Netflix. This would be due to the effect these lineups would have, being very successful since the 90s.
I didn't have the creativity, or the ingenuity, to fill those two slots, so I just gave some of the movie-based shows some extra time.
Yeah. But without Fox, the service can launch sooner.
Yes.
Thank you.
Remember when ABC tried to make their Saturday Morning block look more like TGIF? I've got better schedules to support that.

-Instead of running an all-sitcom block, NBC partners with DiC. They would have partnered up with ABC had it not been for Disney's exclusivity contract being drawn up this season.

-Camp Candy returns to air its third and final season, while Wish Kid gets its second season made.

-Cro and Tales from the Cryptkeeper air on CBS, known by 90s kids outside of Garfield and TMNT as ABC's junkyard.
-ABC Weekend Special takes an early end, but at least they'd have exceeded 100 episodes by 1993.
-CityKids sticks around, due to Disney's deal with Jim Henson Productions without owning the Muppets.
-Bill Nye airs on ABC to fill the educational quota, but A Disney Moment fills in the interstitial quota by airing a classic cartoon each week.
-Big Nate gets another season, only for it to be their last. At least it got made at all.
-In this timeline, Sonic the Hedgehog runs for more seasons, with its first season being the most episodic. Also, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts are low-ranked comic reliefs in said first season, only to meet their ends in the second season.

-Beetlejuice's final SatAM season airs on Fox Kids instead, as does the official debut of Tiny Toon Adventures on Fox stations. The former was already on Fox's weekday lineup, while the latter would come over there a year later IOTL.
-Instead of running an all-sitcom block, NBC partners with DiC. They would have partnered up with ABC had it not been for Disney's exclusivity contract being drawn up this season.

-The revival of Land of the Lost does not get a second season, due to priorities.
-Due to the influx of Disney cartoons on ABC, CBS gives Garfield and TMNT 90-minute slots each this year. The impact of that will not be covered here.
-Camp Candy returns to air its third and final season, while Wish Kid gets its second season made.
-Did you know that Nintendo wanted Captain Falcon to be the mascot of the SNES? Yeah, if history serves, F-Zero: The Series is just practice for their Sonic the Hedgehog days.
-Captain Zed and the Zee Zone makes its US debut.
-Saved by the Bell goes back to half an hour, but it doesn't get any spinoffs to make up.
-Despite being riddled with DiC cartoons, Big Nate does get picked up from Lee Mendelson Productions.

12:30: NBA Inside Stuff
-Cro and Tales from the Cryptkeeper air on CBS, known by 90s kids outside of Garfield and TMNT as ABC's junkyard.
-ABC Weekend Special takes an early end, but at least they'd have exceeded 100 episodes by 1993.
-CityKids sticks around, due to Disney's deal with Jim Henson Productions without owning the Muppets.
-Bill Nye airs on ABC to fill the educational quota, but A Disney Moment fills in the interstitial quota by airing a classic cartoon each week.
-Big Nate gets another season, only for it to be their last. At least it got made at all.
-In this timeline, Sonic the Hedgehog runs for more seasons, with its first season being the most episodic. Also, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts are low-ranked comic reliefs in said first season, only to meet their ends in the second season.

They would have minimal changes in their programming, so I chose to only focus on ABC and NBC. Besides, if we're talking early 90s, this can be seen as improving both their SatAM lineups.
I'm back.

-Meanwhile, the Jim Henson shows that aired on TGIF IOTL air on Sunday nights instead, thus preventing their base-breaking moment and giving Muppets Tonight a legitimate chance. They still move to Disney Channel in the Fall of 1996, but its first start would still be an improvement.
-The New Adventures of Madeline is just the third season of the original show ITTL.
-Rimba's Island moves to Fox Kids, while Sailor Moon becomes a big hit on NBC. Also airing on Fox are Siegfried and Roy, and Hypernauts. Neither of them last to the fall.

Nice!
So, would the Crash and Spyro cartoons be made?
Also, is there a chance of a NBC/DiC network?
Also, since they don't have DiC, I'd assume Toon Disney is either butterflied out or delayed.
And what happens to Saban?
And can't DiC dub more anime? Knights of the Zodiac would have ACTUALLY worked if they got it in 1995........
And that's cool that Universal and DreamWorks comes to NBC.
What about 4Kids? What about Fox post-2001?
Thanks.
Considering how DiC's output was in the 2000s, maybe.
Quite so, yes.
I would hope it just gets delayed. But for now, it could just share a network with Touchstone reruns before it becomes an all-animation channel.
I would probably have Fox buy Saban and rely heavily on Power Rangers and Digimon, plus what would become Jetix, now called Vortexx.
Best I can do is have DiC make a better Knights of the Zodiac dub, complete with proper marketing. Of course, a change in the network could also help.
Well, I'd still want NBC and Universal to merge, which is why I did that.
After 2001, Fox buys Saban and makes it their children's wing a la Nickelodeon Animation Studios or Warner Bros. Animation. As for 4Kids, I can see them help bring a 24/hour Toonami channel to fruition, for better and for worse.
You're welcome.
Cool!
Ok. So we get Vortexx earlier by Fox?
So, would Disney still use the Jetix name when they get in the action field?
Cool. Maybe a Cartoon Network that cares, or as a launch show for the Nothin' But Cool Network???????
I SWEAR TO GOD THAT I'M GONNA FIND A BETTER NAME FOR THE NETWORK!!!!!!
Cool!
So will there also be schedules for Fox Kids as well?
EDIT: I tried adding a GIF as my reaction, but yeah...........
I'd rather 4Kids make their own channel with the help of some others.
Actually, yes. Given how DeMarco felt about Saban poaching the English rights to Escaflowne, I wouldn't be surprised if their choice of what to name the block came from ripping off Toonami's name ITTL.
Yes they would, and this timeline's Jetix would have Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!, W.I.T.C.H., and Yin Yang Yo! as bigger mainstays in a Power Rangers-less lineup.
How about we call it NBC Kids in 1998, call the SatAM block that in 2000, and make Knights of the Zodiac air on both facets of NBC Kids in its 2003 premiere? That way, kids can be introduced to the show on broadcast TV, and get the full experience on cable.
Probably not. Sorry.
What would have been the reaction?
I hear you, but hear me out: If 4Kids was a component of a Toonami channel, we could have Cartoon Network put more effort into their own animation studios. Like, imagine if Toonami's all-day lineup had Funimation, Viz, Bandai, Geneon, and 4Kids. Being in the same league as those guys may force The Summit Media Group to step up their game, or at least give their mature licenses to their friendly rivalry competitors.
Well, I only thought of the name because of that old CW block.
Nice.
Cool!
Oh.........Okay.
A GIF of someone lying in bed, but their soul or ghost or whatever leaving their body because they're shocked........
Kinda like the one where Pooh's ghost leaves his body if you've seen that GIF.
Well.
Color me surprised!
That is also a valid reason.
Okay.
