It's a fascinating question. I'm not really sure what would have happened. Probably, yes, "Neverland" would have happened, but whether it would have been a hit or not, I have no idea. This is another reason I'm glad Jim had "Tanz" though. That is like the European "Phantom" over there, I believe. > So here’s a what if.
