So I've been browsing the Youtubes and found something incredible!

Peter Cullin narrating the channel and us calling our Channel Toonami would fill me with so much joy. Also it would be so awesome.
So I guess the animation for the remaster is considered to be the OG animation for Mobile Suit Gundam here?
Also has Gundam and Star Wars increased public interest in space exploration and aerospace development?
Looks like Michael Myers got an upgrade. 3.5 times the budget for almost five times the profit it made OTL. The power of being backed by the Mouse.
I remember hearing somewhere that horror films, even the crappy ones, tend to be very profitable. Most tend to have small sets and casts and more small scale special effects. Not to mention you can cover up things using darkness in a way you can't in other genres. Very cheap to make with a generally a very high rate of return sometimes even if it's a bomb.
Nice we cleared things up with Christopher Lee and there's no hard feelings. Maybe we could get him a part in Return/Revenge of the Jedi.
With Disney already showing they can do horror strongly in War of the Worlds and Black Hole, I imagine the public would be excited and any backlash from long-time fans would be minimal. Halloween was already strong OTL as a completely independent film, but with the marketing push by Disney it truly became a powerhouse, aided in no small part by the Goose being frightened which is a selling point in and of itself.
With Christopher it helps that while he missed out on Obi-wan and acting with his best friend Peter, he at least got to correct his OTL greatest mistake with Halloween and I imagine with a greater budget and probable greater runtime that Lee has more space to shine and might get an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actor. Also we can still get him as Dooku like OTL.
Oh and btw…
Sunrise:
D100 => 72
New action avalible…
Sunrise is wanting us to buy them out.
Mostly because Mike is really fucking good at his job.
Yes and no.
As in sunrise will most likely ask for autonomy and let themselves be for Japanese market… kinda like the Disney Pixar arrangement when they were first bought out.
Mostly because they like us and trust us, but they are smart enough to know that we don't know Japan and what the people want there like they do.
Also there is a very high likely hood that animators from both dreamworks, pixar and sunrise will all be swamped around and working on various projects interchangeably as well as sunrises work culture becoming far more American…
Meaning that the animators won't be Burnt out husks in a year or two and will be filthy rich by the industry standards.
Also we don't have to rely on Toho for distributing our films in Japan.
So that's a plus.
Also they have the output to make lots of quality tv shows.
Totally down for this and giving Sunrise heavy Pixar like autonomy. They more than deserve it after all the hard work for Gundam and while not the best, are usually pretty reliable in quality and produce some of the most iconic shows in anime. They make whatever they want for Japan and we help with global distribution and dubbing, especially with getting their shows to the US. Most excited to get Cowboy Bebop, Patlabor, Planetes and the Big O out of this, and for the latter I imagine it's going to take a lot more inspiration from Batman thanks to Bruce.
Cool that we'll have such a vibrant exchange of people and ideas between the studios. Also Sunrise adopting American culture is definitely a big W and one can only imagine how the butterflies will take place for the animation industry when everyone starts noticing their Sunrise colleagues are happy, healthy and very rich while making better work. Makes me imagine an episode of Shirobako where top dog animation studio "Sunset" announces a new hiring wave and everyone in the studio is rushing with thousands of other animators to get any spot they can.
Also very bold of Toho that they're going to drop the partnership with Lucasfilms when we still have two Star Wars films to make in the next five years.
Magoose, can we dedicate an action to creating a subsidiary dedicated to dubbing Lucasfilms projects, both English dubbing for imports and foreign language dubs for Lucasfilms proper films? Something like O'Brian Records?
So with sunrise becoming more of an American work environment would that possibly make Japan forced to adapt to us so they can create beautiful Art
If Sunrise and Dreamworks are a massive success then me thinks that KyoAni is going to adopt their modern work culture from birth and everyone but the most corporate studios will follow suit. Hell, we may have a cultural civil war between Japanese conservatives who believe in a rigid and authoritarian structure and progressives who want pro-worker environments. If the latter wins then we may heavily mitigate or reverse Japan's population decline.
This is going to have so many repercussions...hell, whay is Miyazaki going to think about this, considering that we are supposed to be this big Capitalist enemy, yet we are treating our workers so much better than what he or the rest are doing?
There's also the heavy irony that Miyazaki's most treasured value and theme of his works is family and yet the man is a workaholic who heavily neglected his kids to the point they consider him a practical stranger, and meanwhile Bruce always makes sure there's time in his schedule to be a loving father to Mary.
Also you may or may not get Araki in the 80s he did make a fa film of gundam and Star Wars after all.
Pretty damn cool. Definitely possible since Araki had a really rough start until he released JoJo and with Dreamworks offering an outlet he may think that making a fresh start in America would be best. Would be totally awesome if Dreamworks made JoJo in the 90s with Studio David levels of animation quality. Also if we make JoJo, then we can use our wealth and connections with the music industry to make it so that when Stands appear that their corresponding song plays at the same time as an introduction.

Would be so cool if Araki choses some of Carrie's songs for his stands.
