Well this is a very good timeline! But on November 1999, Touchstone's Toy Story 2 is competing against Carolco's End of Days for the Thanksgiving box office.
As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux
- Thread starter OldNavy1988
- Start date
Well before we get to Fantasia 2000, some important events happened in November 1999:
Mary Kay Bergman got saved by Gus St. Pierre, butterflying his death away.
NASCAR came close to new television deals.
RKO launches new genre label Radar Pictures for sci-fi, horror, action and thriller films. Ted Field joins in NBC/RKO as vice president.
As Steven Spielberg was busy doing the Star Wars prequels, Jonathan Mostow (who directed Terminator 3 OTL) was assigned director of Total Recall 2 (TTL's version of Minority Report) for Carolco.

Speaking of voice casts, who would you want to see in a Legend of Zelda adaption?
Why I'm asking. because the next Zelda title, Song of the Sages will be the first one to have full voice acting in English. Unfortunately, while this will not affect its September release in japan; it will push the english release to January 2000. So throw me some suggestions.
As for the big titles for the N64 this year, Rare's leading the pack with both Jet Force Gemini in April along with Donkey Kong Country: A K-Rool Usurpation in October. Both games will use the stop n swop feature allowing the blast corps vehicles being added into JFG while DKC gives you a playable Cranky, Edison, and Madera along with Spiral Mountain as the final gauntlet level. For July, F-Zero X and an expansion for Metal Gear: The Alaskan Complex. As for the big holiday game, its a two-fold punch: Pokémon Stadium and Super Smash Bros coming in October an November respectively

Perhaps SBC will be Renewed and Maybe NBC or FOX will enter for Broadcast Rights, And For Cable We Don't Know (even if ESPN Gets renewed).
I would want Aaron Carter as Link. And that actually might be doable, given the timeframe of the movie.
In this case, pencil in Laura Bailey as Zelda.
So, the Stop n Swop feature allows for three different crossovers from Rareware this year. I love it.
And I simply can not wait for SSB in November.
Hi guys. I'm back.
Anything you guys want me to address before we get to The World is Not Enough?
Anything you guys want me to address before we get to The World is Not Enough?
Welcome back.
Could we do another "State of the Animation Industry" once we get to 2000?
Much like in the old TL, are we getting the Cats animated movie for later on for 1999 or 2000 here?
We could, but it'll be a long one.
Cats will be around the same time as Fantasia 2000.
I can wait that long.
Mice vs. Cats. Sounds like a box office brawl in the making to me.

TTL Changes for the 1999-2000 Sesame Street season:
- Tiffany Disney, now 16, will be featured with Elmo on an arts and crafts segment. She was previously featured with Big Bird on a 1996 segment about grandparents, in which Tiffany draws Mickey Mouse on an easel, explaining how her Grandpa Walt created the character.
Other notable TTL celebrity cameos on Sesame Street:
- C-3PO and R2D2 appear together in separate segments in 1978 and '79.
- Greg Rhodes, Molly Ringwald and Sean Astin appeared together in a 1984 segment after Huck's Landing came out.
- Judith Barsi made five appearances between 1988 and '92.
- Judith Hoag appears with Oscar in a 1991 segment in which she defines "compassion" to the viewer, with Oscar's disapproval of course.
- A 1992 segment features Jonathan Taylor Thomas as his Randy Taylor character.
- Leonardo DiCaprio appears as Peter Parker in a 1993 segment with Big Bird.
- A 1993 segment features Keanu Reeves explaining to Big Bird about how to make cartoon characters talk. This was after Keanu voiced the title role in Disney's Aladdin.
- Another "Word of the Day" segment featured Gus St. Pierre as his Ferguson Darling character, straw hat and all. This was taped on the Clarissa set in June of 1994, just one week before his older sister Colette was killed. For some reason, the segment itself was shelved by CTW until an October 1995 episode.
- Terry Bradshaw filmed a "Word of the Day" segment from the Fox NFL Sunday Night desk.
- Devon Sawa appears as his Junior Floyd character from Little Giants in a 1995 segment.
- Christina Ricci appears in a 1996 alphabet segment with Elmo.

As herself or in-character as Wednesday Addams?
Because I can actually already see that in my head, and it's hilarious.
As herself. Otherwise, if she was playing her Wednesday character, it would've had to be maybe '92ish.
Pokemon: The First Movie (1999 English Dub)
Pokemon: The First Movie
Released in North America by TriStar Pictures on November 12, 1999
English Dub Produced by
Nelvana
English Voice Cast
Same as OTL
Notes
- The Poke-Ball incidents, which led to the deaths of several infants and an infamous recall IOTL, have been butterflied.
If Nelvana really is doing the Pokemon anime dub, then I have three questions:
Pokemon: The First Movie
Released in North America by TriStar Pictures on November 12, 1999
English Dub Produced by
Nelvana
English Voice Cast
Same as OTL
Notes
- The Poke-Ball incidents, which led to the deaths of several infants and an infamous recall IOTL, have been butterflied.
1: Which studio, if anyone does tackle the property, dubs Cardcaptor Sakura?
2: Is TTL's Pokemon dub anything like Nelvana's Cardcaptors dub?
3: Will the Kirby and F-Zero animes also get dubbed by Nelvana later on?
Also, since the Pokeball incidents have been butterflied, does this mean that restaurants won't skimp on fast food toys as much as they did IOTL?
Well this is a good and tricky timeline! As far as I'm concerned, Ang Lee would direct Godzilla for RKO Radio Pictures in 2001 (instead of doing OTL's Hulk), and Stanley Kubrick would do A.I.: Artificial Intelligence for MGM also that year. Also, since Universal made Along Came Polly OTL, I'll assign the TTL studio who made the movie to RKO Radio Pictures due to the presence of stars Jennifer Aniston and Debra Messing, who already starred in shows for NBC.
I have to admit I don't recall Cardcaptors too much IOTL.
As far as fast food toys go, they'll pretty much stay the same.
It was dubbed by Nelvana IOTL for Kids WB during their Pokemon phase. You can look the show up if you want.
Okay.

Toy Story 2 comes out as the winner since Thanksgiving is usually associated with family-friendlier releases. Meanwhile, Turner has been tight lipped as to whether Pierce Brosnan will return as Bond for one more mission.
Logo Change:
After five years with the full United Artists name in gold letters against the marble background, UA's "Swoosh" logo returns:
