Something that always stuck out to me when it comes to Disney's relationship with DreamWorks pictures was how they were originally going to distribute the live-action Ghost in the Shell. I'll never forget seeing Ghost in the Shell along with all the Disney titles at the 2015 CinemaCon lineup. And yes, Disney should absolutely do more with Fox. It should be their New Line Cinema or what Touchstone and Miramax were for them before and not just another Disney division. I also remember thinking that Disney should use Touchstone when it comes to releasing Marvel and Lucasfilm properties though I guess that'd be sort of pointless.
I sure do miss Touchstone Pictures a lot! (kinda imagined what would it be like if Touchstone Pictures distributed Freaked (1993) starring Alex Winter and Randy Quaid!)
Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige" was also the only Touchstone movie to be co-distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures since that Nolan had a first-look deal with Warner Bros. starting with "Insomnia" and ending with "Tenet".
Touchstone is just amazing! Like all of the best films. This reminds me of when I found out 1 director was behind my favorite 80s movies. Namely John Hughes. Hell Touchstone was also behind Golden Girls with their TV division.
oh god It's Pat is considered a Disney movie? I'm guessing Paramount didn't want to touch it I can't name another non-disney film where the soundtrack got this much attention (maybe the soundtrack to the Barbie movie since it's up for a ton of Grammy's and Three Golden Globes in the Best Original Song category)
Interesting enough, "It's Pat" was originally going to be produced by 20th Century Fox, but they dropped the movie and Disney ended up picking it up. Lorne Michaels didn't produce that movie for some reason, so it wasn't part of his deal with Paramount.
It’s funny how you say that Ron Howard didn’t want to be labeled as a “Disney Director” when making “Splash”, since Howard had previously appeared in a few Disney projects back in the late 1960s and early 1970s: *- the Disneyland Record “The Story and Song of The Haunted Mansion” (in which Ron Howard voiced the teenage Mike who finds himself trapped inside “The Haunted Mansion” alongside his girlfriend Karen)* *- the made-for-TV Disney movies “A Boy Called Nuthin’” and “Smoke” (both of which aired on “The Wonderful World of Disney”)* *- “The Wild Country” (which got a theatrical release)* Still, I could understand why Ron Howard didn’t want to be labeled as a “Disney director” since two years prior to “Splash”, Howard had directed the raunchy R-rated comedy “Night Shift” because he didn’t want to feel pigeonholed by his wholesome sitcoms “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Happy Days”.
I kinda wonder what would have been Touchstone today if they were still around? What would they be releasing? Perhaps as an acquisition logo for movies? I could have seen them doing more Dreamworks movies if Disney kept their deal with them going, and perhaps maybe during its time MGM films that had to go to other people. Could have seen Disney handling the release of Operation Finale and Fighting with my Family under Touchstone.
20th Century Fox is not a replacement for Touchstone. Fox has family friendly movies like Anastasia, Ice Age, Rio, Home Alone, The Sound of Music, etc.
What if Studio Ghibli had their movies released by Touchstone Pictures and then Disney Touchstone: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Castle in the Sky Grave of the Fireflies My Neighbor Totoro Kiki’s Delivery Service Only Yesterday Porco Rosso Ocean Waves Pom Poko Whisper of the Heart Princess Mononoke From Up on Poppy Hill The Wind Rises Disney: My Neighbors the Yamadas Spirited Away The Cat Returns Howl’s Moving Castle Tales of Earthsea Ponyo The Secret World of Arrietty

That actually would've made a lot of sense. Touchstone/Marvel and Touchstone/Lucasfilm would kinda be like Disney/Pixar opening logos.
As Far As I See It Touchstone Pictures Was to Disney what Adult Swim was to Cartoon Network was the gist of It
Not aldut swim is a way more eggy than touchstone pictures but its sort of true .
I wonder how Scorsese feels about Kundun’s treatment. The Blu-ray and DVD from Kino are now OOP and I don’t see Disney doing anything new with it.
I love The Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy & sing So Long and thanks for all the fish a lot
I sure do miss Touchstone Pictures a lot! (kinda imagined what would it be like if Touchstone Pictures distributed Freaked (1993) starring Alex Winter and Randy Quaid!)

Ahhhh yes, Disney Incognito🔵⚡️
What do you think of the Waterboy? Will you ever review it?
I'm surprised you didn't mention the 2000 sci-fi Disneyland movie 'Mission to Mars,' which was released by Touchstone Pictures.
Can you talk about the history of Spyglass Entertainment next as for my Request:
Touchstone is just amazing! Like all of the best films. This reminds me of when I found out 1 director was behind my favorite 80s movies. Namely John Hughes. Hell Touchstone was also behind Golden Girls with their TV division.
Someday you need to talk about the history of Relativity Media.
I'm not rushing you though...

You Know, What Disney Should've Done to Touchstone is by Selling The Name to Jerry Bruckheimer, But that never Happened.

What;s your Next video After The Touchstone Pictures History Video?

How well did Delivery Man performed since it's a Touchstone/Dreamworks collab w/ bad reviews?
Not great. It disappointed in North America and it did even less internationally (where Disney was only the distributor in some select countries).
Great Video!!! What are our thoughts on the sitcom Dinosaurs (1991)?
Is this a re upload???
Are you thinking of the video I did back in 2016 about Disney ending Touchstone? That was an entirely separate video just about that subject.
In reality Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures would of Distributed by Walt Disney Pictures
?
Their movies would of say Walt Disney pictures presents or just Disney presents
