The idea that led to OTL's DW Sinbad will make an appearance. Where it goes...just wait.
Some character names and attributes will change slightly.
You lack the security clearance for that information. The Bureau is deeply concerned about your interest in this information. Please report to Room A114 for a debrief with Agent Busch.
The Bureau will neither confirm nor deny the existence of this information.
Naw, I suddenly like the idea of
Tune in tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
BB in Russia was already mentioned. Some of these are on the radar. I'll consider the others.With a major studio like MGM this may not fall into developmental hell:
With the close association between George Lucas and Disney ITTL we may get Kirk Thatcher's version of Muppets in Space:
The Seven Deadly Sins (film)
The Seven Deadly Sins was a screenplay written by Anthony Minghella, which was in pre-production by Jim Henson Productions for ten years and never produced. The plot involved a man suffering a spiritual crisis. Faced with losing his wife and children to another man, the protagonist attempts...muppet.fandom.com
A project that various times OTL involved Kathleen Kennedy, Jim Henson Creature Shop, and Disney:
Muppets in Space
Muppets in Space was an early concept for a Muppet movie with a science fiction theme. In August 1998, Jerry Juhl told fan site Muppet Central that in 1996, he and Kirk Thatcher had separately begun to develop movie ideas for the Muppet characters' next feature film. Thatcher's movie concept was...
Considering the route that the USR is taking ITTL Disney might revisit this idea:
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was a proposed film version of C. S. Lewis' classic book, the first published in The Chronicles of Narnia series. Option rights to the story were granted to Paramount Pictures in 1993, with Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall as executive producers. In 1996...
As this concept proves it's possible to make the Little Mermaid into a live action Muppet film, though honestly it probably works better as an animated film:
Big Bird Goes to Russia
Big Bird Goes to Russia was a proposed television special that would have seen Big Bird traveling to the Soviet Union. The program would have aired on television in the US, while producers hoped to also broadcast in the Soviet Union.[1] Following the success of Big Bird in China, producers at...
Little Mermaid's Island
Little Mermaid's Island was a project proposed by Jim Henson in 1990, during talks with The Walt Disney Company, as a spin-off of Disney's animated film The Little Mermaid. Two episodes were shot, but never aired: "Sebastian's Birthday" and "Tell the Truth." It was intended as a daily series to...
The Creatureworks is a division within the I-Works that manages practical creature effects for media and parks. It was built from the core of the Henson Creature Shop.
Yes, edited to make that more clear.
About the same yes.
Any volunteers?
Yes, Reinhold. Edited.
@Kalvan and I are working on one now.
Well that justifies hiring other actors aswell, but could you please note how much Disney changed from the book then?
I can already see the Epic 4th wall shattering fight that's going to happen between Ambush Bug and Deadpool.
It's Willow Wuesday! Or is that Thorn Tuesday now?
I should've expected that. So much to be excited for!
I actually really like the idea of a full Narnia series produced by Paramount. It would be such a hilarious sight to see this becoming the next big thing.
Like Universal, Warner Bros and Triad/Columbia are all searching for a franchise to dethrone Disney and get some more guests into their parks and then Paramount comes out of nowhere with an adaptation of a 30 year old book and all the kids want to throw money at them.
And they don't even have a park!
So regardless if Paramount will make TLTWTW they will have to do it without the Creature Shop. However I think that ILM will probably have the time and talent to do it too!
Can't wait!
Yeah don't worry a footnote in the actual Jurassic Park post is enough.
I just want to compare it to how much Universal changed the characters.
If you want a world exploding 4thWall breaker then have Ambush Bug and Deadshot merge during the 1996 Amalgam Comics moment and create Bugshot, the wise cracking Assassin who is quite aware of the medium, and some how (two copies? one conciouness across the Multiverse?) survives in both universes once things go back to normal.
Do I Look Worried?

Again i hope that Kaleena Kiff got something like Winnie cooper on the Wonder years here Geekis , as she deserved a lot better than Still the Beaver...
If that still happens at all
Also don't you mean Deathstroke?
Deadshot is a complete different caliber.

I can only imagine the menu written in 'Chefese' so you're basically choosing based on the photos and maybe puzzling out the joke from the ridiculously-spelled text.
Amusingly, this would mean that Smorgasbords around the world could use the same menu as it's all in the Chef's 'native language', not that of the customer (menus written in your language available on request).
There is no fourth wall breaking character with Dead in his name, OTL's Deadpool just can't attempt the fact that he doesn't exist ITTL.
Paramount Parks (A Viacom Company) operated King's Dominion in Virginia and others from 1994 until it was sold to Cedar Fair in 2006.
Well that's true, but firstly this hasn't happened yet and secondly Paramount isn't part of Viacom in this Timeline.
Not true at all ITTL, first off in 1992 Kings Dominion (no apostrophe) is owned by Kings Entertainment Company. Second Paramount Parks won't exist until1993, if at all ITTL. Third Viacom won't own Paramount Parks until 1994, if at all ITTL.
No, I don't think that's the case. WDW and Valencia are still theme parks, so guests still need to understand what food they're ordering despite the theming for a smooth guest experience. They may call it something funny on the website and on the menu but the description would clearly spell out what they're ordering, like Swedish Meatballs or the Smorgasbord.
I do like the idea of Narnia being adapted by Paramount since Disney already has Willow from Lucasfilm and Discworld from Terry Pratchett (my choice would've been Columbia but Triad is fine as well). Although, Triad already has very valuable IPs that Disney would even want like Star Trek, Alien, and etc.
The TL already butterflied Paramount's ownership of Kings Dominion with them being absorbed into Triad (KD is likely to still be owned by the KEC ITTL). Plus it's likely that they won't be involved in the theme park business with 4 very strong competitors having a vice grip on the industry.
If Paramount gets Narnia who will do their animatronics?
Probably the other I: Industrial Light and Magic.
Disney isn't the only company that can do special effects, ILM did do Jurassic Park just fine IOTL and if anything they are probably just as skilled as Disney's IWorks.
It's not like the other effects companies aren't also experimenting with CGI, they might not have a Baldo or the Christmas Ornament, but it will still look good.
Especially since Aslan and other major characters will be mostly realized with practical effects.
You guys think we can get Tim Burton's darker version of How Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) ITTL?

Depends on how "hot" in Hollywood terms Tim Burton will still be in the 2000s and if the rights owners ITTL are interested in itYou guys think we can get Tim Burton's darker version of How Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) ITTL?
