What if Disney owned Nickelodeon? (2024)

Nickelodeon is an American television network owned by Paramount Global since 1985, formerly Viacom. But what if Disney (the rival of Cartoon Network owner Warner Bros. that acquired the rights of Doug from the channel and aired The Fairly OddParents on a few Disney Channels internationally) acquired it instead?

Changes[]

General[]

• Disney's former CEO Michael Eisner bought 31% of MTV Networks from Warner Communications on August 27th, 1985, and then 69% on May 20th, 1986, being merged and folded into Walt Disney Telecommunications (later Disney Media Networks).
  • Nickelodeon has been discontinued in favor of Toon Disney on April 18th, 1998 after the major successes and highest reruns of Doug, Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, moving its live-action programming to Disney Channel.
  • In 1999, Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards would be replaced with The Disney Awards.
    • The awards would let everyone vote on their favorite movies or shows, and many of Disney's animated characters would appear. Each awards show would have a different theme.
    • The Nickelodeon Blimps would be replaced with Mouse Ear Castles.
    • To avoid media winning multiple times, The Disney Awards wouldn't allow media to win more than once to give it a sense of surprise. The Disney Awards would be a lot more timeless than the Kids Choice Awards and would appeal to a broader audience.
  • MTV wouldn't air any reality content as they wanted to focus exclusively on music content while its and VH-1's non-music programming would move to Paramount's own networks, not being involved in any movies MTV has produced.
    • Three months after the merger between Disney and ABC, MTV and VH-1 were merged and relaunched as ABC Hits.
  • Beavis and Butt-Head, Celebrity Deathmatch and Daria would air on Comedy Central instead, getting new seasons and episodes.
• Nickelodeon Studios would move from Universal Studios Florida to Disney-MGM Studios (later Disney's Hollywood Studios) while the original attraction at USF before Blue Man Group Theatre was instead known as Soundstage 18.
  • In 1998, Nickelodeon Studios would be renamed to Disney TV Studios.
• Nickelodeon Animation Studios would be two satellite studios for Disney Television Animation instead, labeled as Disney Television Animation Burbank and Disney Television Animation New York (both formerly known as Walt Disney Television Animation Burbank and Walt Disney Television Animation New York) while the former Los Angeles facility was Walt Disney Television Animation Los Angeles.
• Disney's Doug seasons were heavily altered and retooled into a 13-episode fifth season aired in 1994 to keep the same charm and art style from the first four seasons as a way to end the show on a much higher note.
  • Doug's 1st Movie wouldn't happen.
• Rugrats came to an end after the sixth season and the second movie, with 2001's All Growed Up being a proper finale.
  • In the episode In the Dreamtime, Tommy and his father Stu's silly clown faces and different voices are replaced with Goofy's and Donald Duck's heads and voices as a way to tone down disturbing scenes heavily, with Bill Farmer and Tony Anselmo reprising their roles.
    • Speaking of Goofy and Donald, their designs are way more identical to Walt Disney's artwork due to the Rugrats crew searching them up.
  • After Christine Cavalaugh's retirement in 2001, Candi Milo took over the role as Chuckie in some Disney media instead of Nancy Cartwright.
• Sexual abuse allegations around John Kricfalusi actually happened in 1992, and he was fired and arrested from ever making cartoons, sentenced to 50 years of prison in which leads a permanent closure of Spümcø, with Disney and Nick appointing Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor as showrunners of Ren and Stimpy and Mike Kazaleh as character designer in order to remove all references and mentions to him on the series to avoid potential judicial problems, designing Ren to be less of his author avatar as the new showrunners toned down his jerk and sociopath traits in order to make him more sympathetic at times.
  • WhirlGirl is the first cartoon produced exclusively for the Internet instead.
  • The network and the crew also ordered journalists and critics to avoid mentioning his name when talking about the show due to his acts still bringing some trauma to the ones who were victims of his abuse but wanted the show to still feature grossout while still suitable for the network.
  • However, George Liquor is often used to symbolize the abuses done by its creator towards its staff during its original run.
  • The Ren and Stimpy short to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (It's Our House Now!) will be produced and released in 2015, but made instead by Naylor and Reccardi.
    • The titular characters and Powdered Toast Man are instead voiced by Carlos Alazraqui in his Taco Bell impression, Eric Bauza and Nolan North while Tom Kenny and Billy West will reprise their roles as SpongeBob and Sven.
  • These seasons were well-received and praised by critics and audiences.
• Disney's plan for the 1993 Mario film would still be developed but they learned their mistakes in order to rewrite the film and make it fully animated by Walt Disney Feature Animation with a different plot that is more faithful to the games much like how they did to Toy Story because of the infamous Black Friday reel, convincing Nintendo to be heavily involved co-producing the film.
  • Although Nintendo is not outright owned by Disney, the two companies have shared a close partnership since the release of the film in 1993, the success of which convinced Nintendo to lend their IPs to Disney to be adapted into numerous mediums. That means the Walt Disney Company would have started efforts to market Nintendo and their franchises, led of course by the Super Mario franchise, in the Disney theme parks.
  • In 2002, Nintendo acquires WayFoward and Rare Limited.
• Nickelodeon wouldn't buy Paws, Inc. and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at all.
  • They'd instead be sold to Warner Bros.
    • The 2014-2016 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films would be produced by the DCEU.
    • Animated series based on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would air on Cartoon Network instead.
    • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and The Garfield Movie would've been produced by Warner Animation Group.
    • Warner Bros. would have lots of care for Garfield and U.S Acres and would give more attention to the two franchises.
    • The Garfield website was not shut down but was instead updated.
• Nickelodeon wouldn't buy Rainbow SPA at all.
  • News Corporation would buy Rainbow SPA in 2011 instead, resulting on Winx Club being dubbed by 4Kids.
• Rabbids Invasion would air on Cartoon Network instead.
  • The fourth season of Rabbids Invasion would've premiered on Cartoon Network from September 1st to December 26th, 2018, before airing on Boomerang since July 2019 and streaming on HBOMax since March 4th, 2021 in the United States instead of Netflix while Rabbids Invasion: Mission to Mars premiered on HBOMax on September 10th, 2021 in the US as an original film instead, just like the first three seasons.
  • After the success of Rabbids Invasion, Ubisoft began to partner up with Warner Bros. to make Warner Bros./Rabbids crossover games, much like they did with Nintendo for Mario, as well as collaborate to make games with some of their other major IPs like Rayman and Just Dance.
• Time Warner would've bought Bagdasarian Productions in 2009, since Ruby-Spears produced the 1983 Alvin and the Chipmunks series.
  • Chipwrecked and The Road Chip wouldn't exist.
  • ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks (co-produced by Warner Bros. Animation) would be traditionally-animated by Rough Draft Studios instead of CGI by Technicolor Animation Productions, and it would have several changes to make it better. For example: the designs are more faithful to the 1983 artwork, the characters keep the same personalities they had in the 1983 show, the show only lasts for four seasons and it would air on Cartoon Network.
• The Smurfs (2021) instead airs on Cartoon Network.
• Peppa Pig would air on PBS Kids instead.
• Sony Pictures would've acquired the distribution rights to Paw Patrol instead.
  • The Paw Patrol films are produced by Sony Pictures Animation instead.
• 101 Dalmatian Street would've been renewed for more seasons.
• Wayside (which is co-produced by Walt Disney Television Animation) is more faithful to the books.
• Klasky Csupo wouldn't likely be involved in Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, The Wild Thornberries, The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald, Rocket Power and As Told by Ginger.
  • Aaahh!!! Real Monsters would be a co-production between Stretch Films and Walt Disney Television Animation, being created by John R. Dilworth instead.
  • Rocket Power was created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Walt Disney Television Animation, heavily toning down Otto's rude and self-centered personality and making the show not pandering nor have a lot of cliches, especially the "Jealousy" cliche. Due to that, the art style would look like either this or this, or maybe both as a mix.
  • As Told by Ginger is a co-production between Nelvana and Walt Disney Television Animation, giving the characters' look to be designed by the creator of Braceface.
  • The Wild Thornberries would be animated by TMS Entertainment for Walt Disney Television Animation, and the characters' appearances would be redesign into the most decent and beautiful anime-like look.
    • Darwin and Donnie are redesigned to be inspired by Sanrio characters with faces inspired by Pikachu.
  • The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald would've been produced by DiC Entertainment (like how they've done with McTreasure Island back in 1990) instead as the designs of the characters will look classic 1980s look like in the 1990 video short while also redesigning the new ones in the series.
  • While The Rugrats Movie and in Paris both stay exactly the same, the face of the woman flight attendant gets redesigned to be inspired by the Squeaky Chicken Girl from the show's debut episode while the wolf was also redesigned to look beautifully Disney/Glen Keane-like.
• KaBlam!, The Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold!, CatDog, the fifth and final Rugrats season, The Wild Thornberries, Rocket Power, As Told by Ginger and Action League Now! would air on Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC.
• Chowder airs on Disney Channel rather than Cartoon Network due to C.H. Greenblatt being co-showrunner of SpongeBob SquarePants, being produced by Walt Disney Television Animation instead of Cartoon Network Studios while the animation still provided by Hong Ying Animation.
  • Bubbles’ head will be replaced with Mickey Mouse’s head.
  • The third season would would last for an additional eleven episodes.
• Pucca will be co-produced by Walt Disney Television Animation under Jetix Animation Concepts.
• The Fairly OddParents would end in 2006 with Channel Chasers (which premiered on July 21st, 2006 while Fairly Idol, Timmy the Barbarian! / No Substitute for Crazy! and The Jerkinators were on July 23rd and May 7th, 2004 as part of season 4 and May 19th, 2006). Butch Hartman opted to make T.U.F.F. Puppy as his one more cartoon before leaving Disney in 2015 in order to retire from animation career.
  • Billionfold, Inc. wouldn't exist as Danny Phantom and T.U.F.F. Puppy were fully produced by Walt Disney Television Animation.
  • The third season of Danny Phantom would be rewritten in order to keep Steve Marmel on board and avoid its negative reception with a total of 20 episodes due to Disney not firing many of the original writers from the first two seasons, running from June 17th, 2006 to February 10th, 2007 with a fourth and final season being produced in 2007 and finish in 2008 from March 17th to January 25th, ending with a final battle between Danny and Dark Danny.
  • The 2015 episodes of T.U.F.F. Puppy would've premiered in February 14th-March 28th, 2014 before T.U.F.F. Break Up and Til Doom Do Us Part on November 24th, 2013.
  • As a result, his controversial actions (including the OAXIS scandal) and his written works along with Bunsen Is a Beast, The Fairly Odd Phantom, HobbyKids Adventures, the failed Noog Network service, The Garden, Fairly Odder and A New Wish would've never happened since his retirement.
• Several shows that got screwed by Nickelodeon and Disney received significantly better treatment by Disney Channel and Jetix. Some of these shows include Catscratch, 101 Dalmatians Street, Invader Zim, Making Fiends, Harvey Beaks, Welcome to the Wayne, It's Pony, Glitch Techs, ChalkZone, Hailey's On It, The Ghost and Molly McGee, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! and My Life as a Teenage Robot, among many others.
• Phoebe and Her Unicorn got picked up, and began airing in 2023. Other well-received Nick pilots that weren't picked up, such as The Modifyers and Constant Payne were picked up as well, with IMP, Inc. and Meddlen Meadows also picked up as assets for The Modifyers.
• All the bad Disney and Nick shows made to imitate SpongeBob and the live-action Kim Possible movie don't exist while Adventure Time would still be greenlit by Cartoon Network instead.
  • Quack Pack and Shorty McShorts' Shorts wouldn't happen either.
• The Buzz on Maggie is different to make Maggie a lot more likable.
• The Ben 10 franchise, Generator Rex and The Secret Saturdays would air on Jetix instead of Cartoon Network.
  • The 2016 Ben 10 reboot and a cancelled live-action series would never happen.
  • They are produced by Jetix Animation Concepts instead of Cartoon Network Studios and PorchLight Entertainment.
  • The Secret Saturdays concludes in 2013.
• Barnyard would be distributed by Columbia Pictures instead while its show Back at the Barnyard airs instead on Discovery Kids.
• The Loud House didn't become a series, as Disney Channel was able to unearth evidence of Chris Savino's history of sexual harassment right before it could be greenlit. Because of this, none of its spin-offs exist. And neither does Primos.
• Disney would have acquired the international rights to Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir earlier on.
  • Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie was internationally distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures under the Walt Disney Pictures banner. In the English dub, Cristina Vee and Bryce Papenbrook would also provide the singing parts for Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Cat Noir while Benjamin Diskin would reprise his role as Nooroo.
  • Due to that, ZagHeroez would form a partnership with Disney to air their shows on Disney Channel.
    • Tales of Fairyon, Pixie Girl, Miss Rose, Gayajin, Moonlight Hunters and Kosmik Wrestle: Space League were all picked up.
• Universal's Br'er Rabbit movie wouldn't exist as Disney would've re-released Song of the South on videos, DVDs and Blu-rays in 1996 for its 50th anniversary, 2006 for its 60th anniversary, 2011 for its 65th anniversary, 2016 for its 70th anniversary, and 2021 for its 75th anniversary in order to give the film a lot more attention.
  • The film would've also been available on Disney+.
  • Once the Disney Vault has been demolished, Song of the South and Make Mine Music would have gotten out of the vault as well.
• Due to their strong ties, Disney acquired Studio Ghibli in 2006, the same year they acquired Pixar, as a way to build up the Disney Animation Industry.
  • Studio Chizu and Studio Ponoc wouldn't exist with their projects being made by Studio Ghibli.
  • The Studio Ghibli streaming content would be available on Disney+ instead of HBO Max (now known as Max).
  • While still being distributed by Toho for Japan releases, their films will be internationally released by Walt Disney Pictures.
  • Some of the Disney dubs got improved after the acquisition.
  • Since Studio Ghibli is located in Japan, the Japan pavilion in Epcot, Disney’s California Adventure, and Tokyo Disneyland would receive a Studio Ghibli area called Ghibli: A World from Miyazaki. All would open between 2009 and 2013. The entire land would pay homage to Hayao Miyazaki.
  • Hayao Miyazaki becomes the executive producer of Walt Disney Animation Studios films from Meet the Robinsons until Frozen II and short films from How to Hook Up Your Home Theater until Olaf's Frozen Adventure as well as Pixar films from Ratatouille until Incredibles 2 and short films from Lifted until Bao and Auntie Edna while John Lasseter served as the executive producer of Ghibli movies from Ponyo until Mirai and Modest Heroes and shorts from A Sumo Wrestler's Tail until Boro the Caterpillar.
    • After Lasseter left the three animation studios in 2018, Miyazaki left Disney Animation and Pixar in order to focus on Ghibli films.
  • Earwig and the Witch would be traditionally-animated instead of CGI, with its plotline being heavily altered.
• Toy Story 4&5 would not exist due to being mainly seen as useless sequels created for the sake of profit, especially when Toy Story 3 already served as the finale for the series.
  • As a result, a sequel to Finding Dory would be made, being titled Finding Marlin.
  • However, Lightyear would still happen and still feature Sox, although it was heavily tweaked as it takes a new plot and makes it an even better version of The Adventure Begins.
    • Tim Allen would've reprised his role as Buzz Lightyear.
• The episode "Phineas and Ferb Gets Busted" wouldn't exist at all. However, the scene of Perry's Dream at the end of the episode would still exist, but with a different episode.
• Stitch! (which would be co-produced by Disney Television Animation for Disney Channel) was heavily altered to avoid its negative reception as it would be set during the events of Lilo and Stitch: The Series.
• Monster High (2022) and Transformers: EarthSpark are instead aired on Discovery Family.
• The second seasons of American Dragon: Jake Long and The Replacements would keep the original art styles the first seasons had, with the latter not having any continuity errors.
• Legend of the Three Caballeros would be produced for Disney Channel instead of DisneyLife.
• Where's My Water?: Swampy's Underground Adventures would've been co-produced by Disney Television Animation for Disney Channel.
• Disney XD wouldn't happen. Instead, a new channel called X-treme Disney was launched on February 1st, 2009, which would only air teen sitcoms and teen dramas from Disney. And after the series finales of both Wizards of Waverly Place and iCarly, Disney Channel opted to gradually axe up their live-action schedule as a way to focus exclusively on animated content and provide stronger competition to Cartoon Network.
  • As a result, future live-action sitcoms and original movies after Wizards of Waverly Place, iCarly and Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure would be produced exclusively for X-treme Disney instead while Mr. Meaty, The Naked Brothers Band and the live-action Avatar series don't exist.
  • The fourth season of Wizards of Waverly Place would be different as the show would stay a comedic, heartwarming, silly, lighthearted, and yet, charming sitcom.
    • Justin would have appeared in The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex.
  • Toon Disney and Jetix would have still operated due to this, except the latter was moved to Disney Channel on February 13th, 2009.
    • The former would become a cartoon rerun network, serving as Disney's competitor to Boomerang.
  • Schneider's Bakery wouldn't exist with Drake & Josh, the tenth All That season, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious and Sam & Cat being produced by It's a Laugh Productions.
  • Dan Schneider was fired in 2013 following the infamous Sam & Cat "feet tweet". This results in Disney treating Jennette McCurdy fairly, who called 911 to arrest him, who was transferred to Bledsoe County Correctional Complex and sentenced to 37 years in prison.
  • Despite that, five live-action shows Aaron Stone, Henry Danger and its spin-off Danger Force, The Thundermans and I Am Frankie still exist, yet as animated and without Dan Schneider's involvement.
    • However, due to it, most of its characters would be voiced by voice actors instead.
  • The Descendants (which would be more faithful to the Disney Animated Canon) and Z-O-M-B-I-E-S films would be heavily altered as they would be animated and they wouldn't be musicals to make them stand out from the High School Musical franchise.
  • The only exceptions are Austin & Ally (although without the infamous love triangle), The Barbarian and the Troll, the All That and Are You Afraid of the Dark? revivals and the reruns of The Muppet Show.
• The Lion Guard would air on Disney Channel instead.
  • Aside from Simba being voiced by Matthew Broderick rather than Rob Lowe, James Earl Jones voicing Mufasa throughout the series, Nathan Lane voicing Timon instead of Kevin Schon, Scar being voiced by Jeremy Irons, Simba and Kiara's personalities staying true to the movies, and the artstyle for the show resembling the first movie and The Lion King 1 1/2 (all due to the series boasting a much higher budget), the series otherwise remains the same.
• Freeform wouldn't exist due to ABC Family staying as a family channel while its programming targeted for teen and young adults will be moved to ABC instead.
  • Henson Alternative's library, Marvel's adult shows, 20th Century Fox's adult animated series, and Touchstone's film and television library would air on ABC.
  • ABC's 31 Nights of Halloween and ABC's 25 Days of Christmas would air movies and specials that are actually themed to Halloween and Christmas.
• Playhouse Disney wouldn't change its name to Disney Junior and would never air non-preschool shows.
  • In 2012, Playhouse Disney's 2D bumpers and branding would be redone in 3D, just like how Minimax did that in 2013.
  • Their slogan "Imagine and Learn" would be continued to be used until 2018, when it changes to "Where the Magic Begins".
  • Numberblocks would've been dubbed in the US on Playhouse Disney.
  • In 2019, the Disney Junior bumpers from the UK (2019-2020) would replace the 2017 branding and Funny would be phased out.
  • Captain Carlos, Happy Monster Band, Ooh and Ahh, and My Friends Tigger and Pooh would have newer episodes until 2018.
    • Captain Carlos and The Happy Monster Band would turn into full length shows in 2013.
    • My Friends Tigger and Pooh would also feature Owl and Gopher.
  • Baby Einstein and Disney would reunite in 2014 leaving Kids II and continue distributing Little Einsteins episodes, along with revamping the cancelled Einstein Pals.
  • The Playhouse Disney logo would be turned to 3D in 2012 until Disney Channel's rebranding in 2014 when their new logo matches the current Disney Channel logo.
    • Toon Disney and X-treme Disney's logos will also match Disney Channel's 2014 logo instead of being original.
  • Mickey Mouse Clubhouse had one more season in 2017 until 2018 when Roadster Racers premiered and Funhouse in 2022.
    • All three aforementioned shows would feature additional Mickey Mouse universe characters, like Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse, Felicity Fieldmouse, Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Duey, Louie, April, May, June, Max Goof, Roxanne, P.J, Bobby, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Ortensia, Fanny Cottontail, Gus Gremlin, Jose Carioca, Panchito Pistoles, Horace Horsecollar and Bonkers D. Bobcat, along with Figment.
  • In 2013, another host named Funny (who is a character from Mickey Mouse Funhouse, just earlier) would be the new host as Ooh and Ahh would become a TV show. He was retired in 2017 in favor of the branding, although still returning in Mickey Mouse Funhouse.
  • Blue's Clues and its two follow-ups Blue's Room and Blue's Clues & You, Dora the Explorer and its spin-off Go, Diego, Go!, Allegra's Window (since Disney owned Jumbo Pictures), The Backyardigans, Wonder Pets and Pinky Dinky Doo will be the only eleven Nick Jr. shows to be produced exclusively for Playhouse Disney while the rest are on PBS Kids instead.
    • Cartoonito wouldn't likely happen as Warner Bros. partnered up with PBS for Krypto the Superdog, Batwheels, Bugs Bunny Builders and Tom and Jerry Time (which wouldn't be shelved) while original Cartoonito and Tickle-U programming (except The Mr. Men Show which would still air on Cartoon Network) along with Big Bag are produced for PBS Kids instead. However, Baby Looney Tunes wouldn't be included.
    • With the only two exceptions of Dora and the Lost City of Gold and the live-action tween-oriented Dora series, newer Dora cash grabs like the last four seasons of the original series, the last two seasons of Go, Diego, Go!, Dora and Friends: Into the City and the 2024 CGI reboot would've never happened.
    • Freddie the Fruit Bat Saves Halloween!, Egyptian Camel Adventure, A New Flamingo Mommy and The Bobo's Mother's Day! would air in 2008 from June 24 to 27 while The Great Polar Bear Rescue would've premiered on August 12th, 2008. Dora's Big Birthday Adventure would be made as part of the fourth season on September 15th, 2008 as the series finale of both Dora and Diego before the 2019 movie came out.
    • The Dora hatebase would never happen, ESPECIALLY her grounded videos.
    • The 2024 Ariel show and the Backyardigans reboot don't exist.
  • Season 2 of Blue's Room ("Blue's Farm Playdate" to "Music Stars") would be rewritten as season 1 episodes without Sprinkles, use the season 1 format, and would be produced and premiered from January to March 2006 before Meet Blue's Baby Brother.
  • Bill Cosby's history of sexual harassment was made known to the public in 1996, and his prison sentence happened in the early 2000s. That means Little Bill and the 2004 Fat Albert movie wouldn't exist at all.
  • While Playdate with Winnie the Pooh and Me & Winnie the Pooh still exist, they'd instead be done in traditional animation by Disney Television Animation rather than using CGI, with characters being adults instead of children and act more like their original Disney counterparts, with Pooh's smarter role and voice by Leon Chen being given to Christopher Robin instead.
    • Due to that, Jim Cummings, Travis Oates, Tom Kenny, Peter Cullen, André Stojka and Kath Soucie would've reprised their roles as Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit (who is male instead of female), Eeyore, Owl (who is brown instead of orange and Kanga while Tara Strong will voice Roo and Bea doesn't exist, being replaced by Gopher voiced by Michael Gough.
    • The character designs will look more identical to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
• The last eight Kim Possible episodes in season 3 (Showdown at the Crooked D to And the Mole Rat Will Be CGI) would've first premiered from March 11th to April 29th, 2005 before So the Drama (titled The Kim Possible Movie) came out, which was released on July 1st, 2005.
  • Originally, the film was set to release on September 9th, 2005 until it was moved up to July 1st.
  • However, due to its high popularity, the show was still renewed for a fourth season.
• Harriet the Spy would be produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios as an animated film instead, being a critical and commercial success as part of the Disney Renaissance era.
  • While the live-action Harriet show and Blog Wars don't exist, the animated series is produced by Disney Television Animation for Disney Channel instead as the 1996 film uses the same art style.
  • This results in Once Upon a Studio and House of Mouse featuring characters from the film.
• Nickelodeon would have no involvement in Snow Day, Clockstoppers, Mad Hot Ballroom, Nacho Libre, Charlotte's Web, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Imagine That, Fun Size, Monster Trucks, Wonder Park, Playing with Fire, The J Team, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank and Fantasy Football due to being distributed by Paramount.
  • Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Hotel for Dogs and Rango would be produced by DreamWorks Animation instead of Nickelodeon Movies. The former two are instead animated.
  • The Adventures of Tintin would've produced by Sony Pictures Animation instead.
  • Charlotte's Web 2, Yours, Mine & Ours and The Last Airbender would not happen.
• Walt Disney Animation Studios would keep doing traditionally-animated films alongside CGI films.
  • Enchanted and its sequel Disenchanted are fully animated in this AU, with the first film being produced by the studio while the second by Disneytoon Studios.
    • After the first film's release, Giselle became a member of the Disney Princesses.
    • Jeff Bennett reprised his role as Pip in Disenchanted.
  • Tangled, Frozen and its sequel Frozen II, Moana (with Pua having a larger role), Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto (with Pico having a larger role and talking), Strange World and Wish would be traditionally-animated instead of CGI.
    • Raya and the Last Dragon and Strange World's plotlines are heavily altered.
    • Wish's plotline would slightly be different due to sticking with the original concept while keeping the Star ball as a sidekick for the Star boy, who is renamed Astro and serves as Asha's love interest since the ball is too cute to be changed.
      • Valentino was voiced by Jim Carrey instead of Alan Tudyk, but Tudyk will still voice a character, being Astro.
      • The songs are better written and composed by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
      • Once Upon a Studio was released to precede the film in theaters.
      • The credits would have featured The Rescuers, The Black Cauldron, The Rescuers Down Under and Meet the Robinsons.
    • Pua and Hei-Hei would also talk, voiced by Jess Harnell and Tom Kenny respectively.
  • A Wrinkle in Time, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Noelle and The One and Only Ivan (which was more faithful to its source material ITTL) would be animated as well and were rewritten in order to have a better storyline and avoid their mixed/negative reception.
    • The Mouse King would be an antagonist of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms instead of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
  • Disney Animation's oversee studios in France, Canada, Australia, U.K., and Japan will remain open.
• With the only three exceptions of the 1996-2000 101 Dalmatians remake duology and a PG-13 The Black Cauldron remake, Disney would never make live-action remakes, mainly focusing on original ideas and their animation branch. These remakes will be replaced by:
  • The Snow Queen (animated; 12/25/1994) - replacement of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book
  • The Snow Queen II (animated; 9/29/1998) - replacement of The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story

SpongeBob SquarePants[]

The show was officially picked up by Disney Channel as its first original animated cartoon produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, and while Seasons 4, 5, and 6 still exist ITTL, they are much closer in quality to the pre-movie seasons, in part due to Stephen Hillenburg appointing Aaron Springer and C.H. Greenblatt as the new showrunners instead of Paul Tibbitt (who instead remains as a writer and a co-executive producer) while still set before the events of the movie canon. As a result, there are many changes:

• United Plankton Pictures wouldn't likely exist due to the series being the only project the studio worked on, being fully produced by Disney.
• The sound mixing error in all airings and digital versions of Something Smells would never happen, which means they would fully keep SpongeBob walking up to a building and saying, "Hi, building!" which causes the building to flee from SpongeBob's breath, and going up to Patrick and saying, "I just don't get it!" and Patrick saying, "I don't either."
• [Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor joining the show]
• These post-movie seasons have a similar style of humor to the pre-movie ones.
  • A few events of the first movie were foreshadowed like Plankton going through plans A to Y, and SpongeBob and Patrick visiting Goofy Goobers. It's revealed that SpongeBob and Patrick go to Goofy Goober’s a lot.
• Most of the bad episodes from the later seasons are either heavily rewritten (ex. Atlantis SquarePantis, Boating Buddies, Good Neighbors, and the Season 5 shorts) or simply don't exist (ex. All That Glitters, Funny Pants, Squid Wood, The Thing, To Love a Patty, The Splinter, Gone, Shell Shocked and Squid's Visit).
• Some of the later specials such as What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?/WhoBob WhatPants and SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One are not specials, but rather regular length episodes that are paired together, without Patchy the Pirate segments.
• Season 6 is the show's final season, with an improved version of Truth or Square being the series finale. However:
  • SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout and the stop-motion specials It's a SpongeBob Christmas! and The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom still exist as one-off specials/TV films for SpongeBob post-series finale, with the latter two co-airing on ABC and ABC Family for 25 Days of Christmas and 31 Nights of Halloween.
  • Sponge Out of Water, Sponge on the Run and Search for SquarePants would still exist as theatrical sequels to the first film, although the former two being traditionally animated instead while still featuring live-action segments.
  • Video games based on the series would still be developed.
  • SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical would still exist as well.
  • The spin-offs wouldn't exist at all.
  • The post-sequel episodes still exist, being incorporated into Cheshire Cat and Friends as segments instead, with ones that are eleven minutes being shorten to seven minutes while the twenty two minute episodes as specials for the show instead at the same time.
    • Some of the episodes that involve Squidward getting the short end of the stick when he didn't do anything wrong like Jolly Lodgers, Ink Lemonade and Plane to Sea don't exist and are replaced with better episodes. The same thing also applys to episodes that feature characters from the spin-offs.
    • After The Fish Bowl, the "Patrick's a Prick" trope gets stopped being used.
    • The overly-exaggerated facial expressions were also heavily toned down because of this.
  • The series will remain on the reruns with The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, House of Mouse, Kim Possible, Lilo & Stitch: The Series and The Muppet Show.
  • The characters would also appear in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and Disney Dreamlight Valley.
• The characters' personalities never undergo the flanderization they did IOTL:
  • SpongeBob himself is still a bit childish, but he's never portrayed as downright infantile (as he is in episodes like "Toy Store of Doom"). His obsession with Squidward and habit of crying are also heavily toned down, and his voice remains in its pre-movie pitch.
  • Patrick is still SpongeBob's dimwitted slacker best friend instead of a braindead sociopath.
  • Squidward's short temper doesn't become his main personality trait. As such, he only snaps when he's really provoked like in the pre-movie episodes, and is otherwise portrayed as just grouchy.
  • Likewise, Mr. Krabs' greed and Sandy's obsession with science and Larry's cowardice never become their entire personality, instead existing in tandem with their other personality traits, such as Mr. Krabs' sailor-like demeanor and Sandy's sportiness.
  • Karen, Pearl and Larry will keep their pre-movie personalities too.
  • The townspeople never form angry mobs nor overreact.
• The twist ending in Nautical Novice doesn't exist, meaning that SpongeBob receives his boating license permanently while Cheshire Cat and Friends still having the segments featuring SpongeBob take places before that episode.

  • Fidget, Digit, General Sir and Colonel Nozzaire would've appeared in the 2003 sequel, which would serve as the series finale to Gadget and the Gadgetinis.
• Inspector Gadget's Last Case wouldn't likely exist since Gadget is less bumbling and clueless than his original 1983 series counterpart, whereas Penny and Brain get far less screen time, with Biggest Caper Ever being retooled into a TV movie as part of DIC Movie Toons instead.
  • As a result, Biggest Caper Ever is produced by Disney Television Animation as a traditionally-animated film instead, and some elements from Last Case would be incorporated into the film.

  • With the only four exceptions of 2003's Hulk and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man duology and the latter's animated series in which remain owned under Universal and Sony's ownership, Disney would've acquired all film and television rights for Marvel's franchises, with 20th Century Fox and New Line Cinema selling the X-Men and Blade movies and all X-Men films starting with X4 being integrated into the MCU.
  • X-Men: The Last Stand would split into three films: X3, X4 and X5.
  • All films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be released by Disney under the Touchstone Pictures label except the Power Rangers movies and Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man film series, which would be released under the Walt Disney Pictures label while still integrated into the MCU, with Andrew Garfield being Peter Parker/Spider-Man in this universe.
    • This would also allow Peter to not be dependent of Iron Man, although he still considers him a major influence to him and he would provide some TBD.
