Uh oh. Between Chris Benoit's arrest, the NWO doing very poorly, the newest Backstreet Boys tour, and what I'd assume is the Trump presidency 16 years in advance, this will not be a good future for the world, and I hope the next few years actually yield some good stuff.

With that said, though, I will say that it's about time that Miramax was sold off to AEG.
 
We'll very great! I'll assign Hollywood Pictures to release Angel Eyes and The Animal (OTL it was made by Warner Bros. for the former and Columbia Pictures for the latter), while I'll have United Artists and Hollywood Pictures to release Pootie Tang (OTL it was made by Paramount Pictures), and I'll have 20th Century-Fox to release Zoolander (OTL it was also made by Paramount Pictures), considering that Disney BTW owns VH1 TTL.
 
I've got a question about Universal Studios Japan: Has Universal made any anime dubs since "Dog of Flanders"? For that matter, what dubs did they do at all?

Universal's only anime dubs have been The Gutsy Frog and Dog of Flanders back in the early Eighties. Universal's 1981 English dub of Dog of Flanders is still considered one of the worst anime dubs of all time, because Universal kept reusing certain scenes to keep Nello alive for a second season. Angry anime buffs wrote to Universal pointing out how Nello and Patrasche die at the end of the original story.

Tom Ruegger hopes to convince the major anime houses that Universal can produce an English dub worthy of Fox's dubs of Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2, or Warner's dub of Speed Racer. Because for nearly 20 years, the Japanese studios held a distrust towards Universal over the way they botched Dog of Flanders.

Here's a question: Did Malcolm in the Middle still exist TTL?

Yes. It airs on Fox.

Ouch. At least we can get some Gutsy Frog representation in USJ, right?

How about something like Beyblade, Super Milk Chan, Taro the Space Alien, or Ghost Stories? The first one is based on a toy, a la Pokemon and Digimon. The second and third anime aren't really well-known, but were still successful enough to get English licenses IOTL. The last program wasn't a hit in Japan, and could benefit from having something akin to their IRL dub that had no restraints whatsoever. I think those four shows could give Universal a fighting chance again, despite it being more of an uphill battle this time around.
Yes. It airs on Fox.
Well then, is it still made by Fox? If so, I can see that Nazca footage replaced by Tenchi footage in the opening.
