Great job @OldNavy1988! Hopefully, Legendary Pictures will produce and finance X-Men 2 for 20th Century-Fox and The Lizzie McGuire Movie for Walt Disney Pictures, while Touchstone Pictures is releasing Pixar's next computer animated film The Land of Water (OTL title is Finding Nemo).

A Little Bit About Legendary
A Little Bit About Legendary...
ITTL, Legendary can trace its roots back to 1995 when Rachel Stone-Abbott formed Charm City Entertainment as she made her live action directorial debut. The first film under this banner was Catwoman, released by Columbia in 1996. Rachel named Charm City after the nickname of her hometown, Baltimore, Maryland. In 1999, Rachel directed X-Men for 20th Century-Fox.
Dark Castle Entertainment was founded in 1998 by Robert Zemeckis and Joel Silver, both of whom co-founded the company IOTL. Dark Castle's first films were the House on Haunted Hill remake for Warner Bros., and the Sixth Sense remake for New Line Cinema, both of which were released in 1999.
Legendary was formed IOTL by Thomas Tull back in 2000.
After Stone-Abbott was hired by Disney to direct Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Tull convinced Stone-Abbott, Silver and Zemeckis to merge their respective firms to form TTL's Legendary.

Dan Schneider has been accused of being a predator and for being freaking weird on Nickelodeon. There is a long list but might as well give you this.
I love that Dark Castle is still a thing in this timeline. Thank you, dude.
Not to mention there was no chance in hell I was gonna butterfly such a badass logo.
Here's how it evolved IOTL for those unfamiliar with Dark Castle:
President Weinstein retained Les Aspin, who was Cuomo's Secretary of Defense. Donald Rumsfeld, who was Dubya's defense secretary IOTL, was implicated in Ted Bundy's war crimes in the Persian Gulf.

4: Okay.

Ok. May I suggest that The Strip animation block be done properly this time?

2. That's good. Glad he is doubling down on climate goals.
3. Thank you!
4. So TNA Impact and Xplosion on The Hub. Nice.
5. That's good. I hope it works out.
I'd be okay with that. Depends on what NBC/RKO would do with it instead of Viacom.
Glad you like the update.
Yup, Impact and Xplosion on The Hub.
UPN/USA's bid to expand the World League's media coverage to the internet is part of Bill Gates acquiring Paramount to expand its digital capabilities. Of course, YouTube will be a thing ITTL, so Microsoft and Comcast will each work in tandem with the league to develop its YouTube presence. This arrangement will be more or less similar to how Turner helps the NBA run NBA TV IOTL.
Another thing that'll come from Bill Gates' purchase of Paramount is Rankin-Bass getting newer Microsoft computers to improve digital ink and paint.
Most likely that they'll still try to capture the 18-49 Dudebro market.
Well, they do have MWS Animation ITTL, so, they could come up with 2 shows for it at first, then the rest could just be acquired from Canada and UK and some anime.
