Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

So we have some bad news.

The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it
TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

I'll see you all around.

With so many regards, Duke William Of.

Disney’s Renaissance
Disney's Renaissance
"WHERE THE HELL IS THAT ELECTRICAN!" Tony Baxter said as he looked at the fuses to the master control system. "THIS IS BULLSHIT!"
You honestly didn't know that Mike was a member of Club 33. That was unsurprising, considering the number of backroom meetings that took place here, behind the closed doors of this most important establishment of Disney.
Cat groaned as she rolled up her sleeves. "Hold on cowboy, what seems to be the problem?"
George and Marcia took Carrie and the kids out for a walk around the park, the entire thing to get them to relax and enjoy the night air.
"The Fuses are acting up and we need to have them fixed." Tony said.
"Any reason you need me?" You asked. "Here when I could be with my family."
"Can't you fix it?" Cat said.
"Two reasons, one you are the leadership, and I can't exactly do this solo." Mike said.
"I'm an engineer, not an electrician, I work with rides and gravity! I'm not the guy who runs the lights and shining numbers. Besides it will take me all night to fix even if I didn't know what to look for."
"Mike, I have total faith in you." You said.
Cat Powell Saves the Show!:D100 => 99
"Two, I don't feel comfortable dealing with them alone, not now. Call it a feeling." He replied.
"Bastards got Lazy near the end of set up…I haven't seen wires this shoddily put in correctly since I remodeled my apartment, from the last guy." Cat said. "Just flip the Green and the Red Wire there and there."
That earned a warning bell from your mind, because Mike did not get scared. And walking into the club, was the two men that wanted the meeting. The Disney Boys, and the so-called saviors of the Disney brand. Roy Disney, and Ron Miller. Both took a seat across from you. "Mike, see you brought the Goose with you."
"You know how to do that?" Tony said. "And how do you know it's those ones?"
"Didn't feel right being outnumbered." Mike stated.
"You have no idea how many times I had to fix the wiring in the Jumping Whale when Dad was working, I was surprised I didn't become an electrician because I never wanted to do it again." Cat said.
Ron Miller laughed. "Is that fear I hear Mike Eisners?"
"Award Winning Author and Amatur Elecrican, what will you surprise us with next." Tony said as he grabbed his Radio. "Marty! We're green in Frountierland! How about you!"
"No, call it a sense of nervousness from being out of my depth. You already know my answer about the Sunrise Anime. I talked to our mutual partner, and they refused."
"Good to hear you Tony!? Central WE ARE GREEN Across the BOARD! GET READY FOR THE SHOW BOYS!"
Ron seemed to be surprised. "You're looking at ten million a show, not counting ad revenue. Why would you say no?"
"Tomarrowland!" Tony said.
You took a moment to take a breath. "Because honestly, Mike doesn't trust you. And you didn't reach his price."
"Green!"
"Mike, what you want is insane." Ron stated.
"Bear Country?!" Tony said
"And that's why I refused. Gotta maximize the profits." He smiled.
"Green!"
"Well, then I think you made a mistake." Roy stated. "Cause I was hoping for a wonderful partnership."
"We're getting Static from Tomorrowland…give them a sec." Cat said
"Partnerships are always junior or Senior," Mike replied. "And honestly, there are a few times when I go with my gut, rather than my sense for business."
Tony nodded. "Adventureland?"
Roy then smiled. "Well, then we got nothing else to talk about for business. But I hope you will enjoy the show that's about to happen."
"Green?"
A moment passed, before Mike looked at his Whisky, and put it down. "What show?"
"The Plaza is all gold." Tony said.
"The one that's going to begin in a few minutes. The one we invited you for." Ron stated. "The one that, I think, will bring us back from a long slumber."
"This is Tomorrowland…LET'S POP IT!"
"Talking in fairy tales?" You asked.

Roy smiled and stood. "Well, Uncle Walt always did love his fairytales. Even if he changed them to make good stories."

He paused and you and Mike and Ron followed him out. "You know the darkest fairy tales always told moral lessons that are disturbing. And than it hit me, when John told me about how we tell stories. There is always something that is dark."
"The best advice Mr.Lee, have fun with it." Wayne Allwine said.
"There is always evil. But there is always hope. Even when darkness took over."
"I wouldn't dream of it, let us begin." He said with the power of Dracula's grandest actor.
And the entire park went dark. And everyone looked up. To see a monster that took over the sky.

And you recognized the voice that seemed to be coming from the monster in the sky. "Finally I AM FREE!"

The entire park seemed to rumble and was given the grandest treatment of Christopher Lee's Booming voice.

"And now, this world will be mine!"

And there was nothing for a moment, and all the park lights seemed to dim or turn off as if Chernabog was sucking it all away. Some people became nervous of the sheer strangeness and sureness, of a dark night at Disneyland, with the stars above, and a monster preparing for it all.

And then a beam of light shone through the darkness from the Disney Castle. And Micky Spoke "No it will not! Not in my land!"

And then Roy smiled. Before the park exploded into light with a hellish scream from the air, all around, Chernebog, the devil of Disney, disappeared from the power of the mouse.

"There is far more than that my friend, and I think you both made a mistake. Risk-taking is coming back to Disney."

There was a laugh from Ron. "Universal is going to regret this."

At that, you realized Mike was smiling. "Well, it seems we've given them the kick in the pants they needed to try something new."

And throughout the park, there were cheers from everyone. Even you cheered.

"Why not. I'm sure Dreamworks would love the challenge."
Tony Baxter hugged Cat Powell "WE DID IT, BOYS! LETS GO!"
Reward: The Disney Renaissance has begun.
The Cheering of the Imagineers would outring the very sound system they installed. "I hope we got this on Camera?" Cat said. "I'm going to lord this over Bruce forever!"
All Disney animated Films and TV projects for the next ten years will see an increase in quality.

You have learned that Disney has invented a new Genre for itself with its stunt in Disney Land. Dark Disney.

Universal Studios has begun to lose market Value to Disney and was overtaken by it for the first time in a decade.

Meanwhile, with the Imagineers, there was much rejoicing that they managed to get the show to work, and were considered the men and women of the hour.

AN: Well... Disney is more focused on Fucking Universal, and are holding no hard feelings about us saying no.
 
I think we need to build an extension in our house: a really nice recording studio. Both for Carrie and Bruce whenever he wants, but also because I think it'd be funny if the O'Brien Mansion becomes THE place for musicians to collaborate and make amazing music.
 
This is Disney we're talking about. If anything, they are masters at rebranding. :V

Look at what they do to everything they touch.
Well, well, well...the fucking Mouse is in the House.

Alright then, the technology should be ready about now (especially with the build up with Pixar) so we should have enough for Atlantis at this time, right?

Better start looking for other things that we can adapt. Hopefully some dark tales.

We do have my Mad Father pitch. I'm also making another darker animated pitch on top of that along with that one show pitch I asked you to help with the set up description for *wink *wink 😉. Aside from that...I'm not sure what else we have? We don't have a whole lot of dark animated pitches I don't think so we should probably try and pump out a few more if we all can.

Edit: Oh yeah! There's also the Undertale Pitch that should be done real soon! I'm fucking excited, I can't wait for you guys to see it! ☺️😆

I mean, I think I have something for "House of the Rising Sun" buried in my folders somewhere, but first things first?

Buy Hanna-Barbera to net us Scooby-Doo!, it has everything we need to start building up a franchise in that direction.

I think we can just but the Scooby-Doo franchise and just leave them with the rest.

You do realize that Tom and Jerry, the Flintstones, the Jetsons, Johnny Quest, Space Ghost, and Yogi Bear are part of that studio, and that we'd kill just on syndication rights?

Also, 1982's Mork and Mindy cartoon spinoff that I didn't know existed till now.
 
QM, In round 1 a producer tried to sexually touch Bruce against his will before Bruce kicked his balls, subsequently the producer spread bad rumors about Bruce, did Bruce ever find out who exactly it was and if not, would it be possible to search?

edit:
2:why so little of our movies have a director cuts ?,why not being nice and allowing the director to have his cut's in cinema ?,or did i understand something wrong ?

3:just rereaded the list of our movies and how the hell are critics still considered relevent when ther is almost no corelation between the quality of the movie,the public reaction and what the critics says,that they are regularly biased, and change their minds when it suits them without the slightest trace of conviction?

4:why only somes movies have vhs and merchandising sales ?

5:do we sold movies on betamax too ?

6:has the realtion between bruce and the unions improved ?

7:could we create an sfx union to mess with others studios cough universal cough ?

thanks in advence for your time.

Uprising (Sabaton Parody)

Romania Rise!

Do you remember when, when the Communist forced their rule on Romania
1947 and the allies turned away
From the underground rose a hope of freedom as a whisper
Nation in despair, but they never lost their faith

Women, men and children fight
they were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets
was a sacrifice willingly paid

Romania Nation at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom

1978 help that never came
Calling Romania Nation at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom

Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you
'The Dragons Rise!'

Spirit soul and heart
in accordance with the old traditions
1978 still the allies turn away
Fighting city to city
in a time of hope and desperation
Did it on their own and they never lost their faith

Women, men and children fight
they were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets
was a sacrifice willingly paid

Romania Nation at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom

1978 help that never came
Calling Romania Nation at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you
'The Dragons Rise!'

All the streetlights in the nation
broken many decades ago
Break the curfew, hide in sewers
Romania it's time to rise now

All the streetlights in the nation

(Here's my 2nd parody I hope I didn't butcher it)
 
So I have a ton of ideas in my mind for pitches, two of them being educational shows which one of does exist. Mind if I write down most of my ideas as pitches? It would be about 4-5 pitches.

How does this sound like?
 
I've got an idea for a dark animated film about the Brothers Grimm. It's set in a world where monsters are real but they gain power from belief. So along with battling monsters they fight monsters by spreading the idea that they are just stories, weakening them by taking away the power of belief and fear that strengthens them. They could have a thing where they seal away the monsters they defeat into the manuscript they're writing.

I'd write a pitch myself but I can't muster up the creativity to write up the synopsis.

No. Mostly because Bruce didn't know the guy and never saw him again.

He's also dead now.
2:why so little of our movies have a director cuts ?,why not being nice and allowing the director to have his cut's in cinema ?,or did i understand something wrong ?
Because we also have a suit that needs to be placated. And who does care a little about the critics

Mike Eisner.

All I will say is that it helps in award season.

And awards help.
4:why only somes movies have vhs and merchandising sales ?
Because only some movies have the ability to get merch.
6:has the realtion between bruce and the unions improved ?
Not much.
7:could we create an sfx union to mess with others studios cough universal cough ?
You can try

Mike Eisner.

Perhaps we can publish the directors cut during a possible general VHS release when the price of said VHS has dropped a little?

Because only some movies have the ability to get merch.


Too bad I was already imagining the sales of "Lone Wolf and Cub" prams, "Solomon Kane" crusifixes and "Mad Max" cars

Blood inserted an entire ass B-plot and thought we wouldn't notice. Looks like sadly Cat has fallen into the Dark Side completely and become one with the Mouse. Oh well, at least we won't ever have to worry about an anti-Trust suit, lol.

Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Ned Beatty, John Belushi, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, Christopher Lee, Tim Matheson, Toshiro Mifune, Warren Oates, Robert Stack, Treat Williams, Nancy Allen, Bobby Di Cicco, Eddie Deezen, Walter Olkewicz, Dianne Kay, Slim Pickens, Wendie Jo Sperber, John Candy, Perry Lang, Geno Silva, Patti LuPone, Whitney Rydbeck, Penny Marshall, and Lucinda Dooling.

Huh, there's a lot of names on this cast list who didn't appear OTL. One that sticks out most is Penny Marshall who was currently on Laverne and Shirley and she was also Carrie's best friend OTL. Did Carrie somehow get her a part on 1941?

I think we need to build an extension in our house: a really nice recording studio. Both for Carrie and Bruce whenever he wants, but also because I think it'd be funny if the O'Brien Mansion becomes THE place for musicians to collaborate and make amazing music.

We could buy the house to our left or right, tear down the fences and convert that into a recording studio.

I'd be cool with that. I honestly don't see the point of buying the whole of Hanna-Barbera, but just buying Scooby Doo should pan out just fine.

Hanna-Barbera will never part with just Scooby-Doo because it's their top cash cow that has allowed them to stay somewhat solvent for the past decade, hell everything in the 70s besides Wacky Races is a Scooby-Doo clone. Hanna-Barbera is also a studio with a lot of franchise power like Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, Jetsons, Johnny Quest, etc. We get Hanna-Barbera, we get all of those franchises to continue or make new shows out of, not to mention we form this as the basis for our Cartoon Network alongside Dreamworks and Sunrise.

Don't know what to tell you man. I checked for OTL actors since there were no changes, and that's what came out. I didn't even put the names of the actors whose roles didn't have names, and even trimmed down those who had very little to do in the story.

Well, if anything this proves how in the end Scoddby-Doo is all that matters. Seriously, I just didn't feel anything from the Flintstones (except for the movies) or the Jetsons, and I feel Johnny Quest is a bit overrated to be honest. But if we need to buy it all to get the prize gem then so be it.

I'm having trouble thinking of good pitches for animated movies, perhaps it's just me but seeing what Disney did just suddenly put me in a competititve mood. Though then again, we could try to pre empt them with the movie about Aladdin that should be done when we finish with John Henry.

Ah, I looked it up and half of the actors listed on your pitch were uncredited or cameos so they didn't show up on Wikipedia.

@Magoose How is MGM studios doing? They still hyperfocused on casinos and Vegas or are they gonna try and do big movie distribution and production again?

Well Cat is interested in making a name for herself and well, she decided to work for the mouse because they are the only people that have fucked with her in this town.

Not on the left as Debbie lives there and won't allow such tomfoolery.

The problem is needing to buy them. The 80s can't come soon enough.
@Magoose How is MGM studios doing? They still hyperfocused on casinos and Vegas or are they gonna try and do big movie distribution and production again?
Slowly but surely they are but they are making fick loads from casinos and don't like sacrificing money for unknown films.
