I caught the Twister promo at the end of the last ad break of Saturday ACA and noticed it was a new cut re-voiced (again) by the network male V/O, this was the version (minus those graphics), I’m guessing that was done due to the new ‘2D’ 9 logo: https://x.com/9Gem/status/1167602987382054912?t=fOHd-eYOLr1pu4RhR0moNg&s=19
Previous (longer) versions, original after getting rights from Seven with Ten’s former female V/O who did 9Gem for a few years and later re-voiced by Nine’s current female V/O:

More Disney / Fox titles coming to Nine… Previously on Seven and Ten.
I wonder if Nine have decreased their Warners licencing agreement (which it certainly appears they have), after getting back some rights following the end of Seven’s output. And have gone into an agreement, of similar calibre, with Disney.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see any more Disney or Fox titles coming on Seven (apart from onerous from Seven’s Fox output - there’s been some Searchlight titles premiering late at night lately on 7flix from 2020/2021 and that have already re-aired on Seven from late 2020 - think “The Rock” was the first upon Sir Sean Connery’s death).
Given the ABC seem to have signed with Warners now, with a large amount of back-catalogue movies on iView and airing on ABC Entertains in both daytime and primetime. But being non-commercial probably sees a different sort of agreement again.
A movie only run once every handful of years, 4 hours on CFTA, but should draw some crowd and across that time and very late on a Saturday should generate some handy share. Could see quite a few commenting online too as it airs.
Recall Seven only airing this once and an encore on maybe 7flix sort of 2018/2019 in their last 20C Fox deal. Nine aired it before that around 2016 IIRC when they aired a few 20C Fox features including Volcano which was recently played again. I’m sure Ten aired Titanic too. So I think it’s aired on all commercial networks over the years, premiered on Seven AFAIK around 2001 pre-9/11.
Outback Queensland, the early 1950s. The Thompson family - struggling to keep their outback farm from foreclosure - place their financial hopes on their horse, Prince, a favourite to win the New Year’s Cup. However, two horse rustlers named Bill and Sly (John Ewart and John Howard) steal Prince and make their way to a nearby mountain range to escape. But the thieves have underestimated the resourceful Thompson kids John (Mark Spain) and Helen (a 15-year-old Nicole Kidman in her film debut).
Didn’t Seven Air A Few Select Titles From MCA/Universal In The Late 90’s, Like Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Casper And Babe, Even Though Ten Had The Output Deal Back Then?
9Now’s title of My Super Ex Girlfriend (2006) on 9Go! coming on after the tertiary Olympics feed (diving) concludes shortly, says “uncut”. Haven’t seen that before! Assuming also on EPG, guides, etc?
Perhaps an internal file name that accidentally got published. Guessing this means “M” rather than an edited “PG” version they must have.
Possibly an error amongst all the complicated logistical Olympics channel programming ATM.
Seven’s broadcast of Sister Act (1992) last night may have ended up getting more viewers than intended, due to viewers incorrectly assuming that they were still airing the Olympics.
Blurring the line between narrative and non-fiction, Uyarak and her eldest sister Saqpinak embark on a difficult healing journey after a traumatic event that reminds them of the importance of community, culture, family and home. Tautuktavuk (What We See) explores issues of domestic violence and substance abuse from the perspective of two Inuit women.
The film is a series of vignettes of heartache and healing – both in the dramatic based-on-true-events narrative, and the lived reality of the characters and creators.
What We See (Tautuktavuk) is set in Canadian Arctic, when Covid-19 lockdowns closed off the area from the rest of the world.
The film’s co-directors are Lucy Tulugarjuk and Carol Kunnuk. Lucy is an award-winning actor, creative performer, and the Executive Director of Nunavut Independent Television Network. This network created Canada’s first 24/7 Inuit language television station, Uvagut TV.
Carol is a filmmaker working in independent television and film for over 25 years as a writer, camera operator, production supervisor, assistant director, actor, and editor.
NITV shares the world’s best Indigenous films with audiences weekly on Saturdays.
The Shaman’s Apprentice is an animated adaptation of an Inuit traditional story from the North Baffin region in the Arctic.
The Shaman’s Apprentice tells the story of a young shaman in training who must face her first test—a trip to the underground to visit Kannaaluk, The One Below, who holds the answers to why a community member has become ill. Facing dark spirits and physical challenges, the young shaman must trust the teachings of her grandmother and mentor, Ningiuq Angakkuq, and learn to control her fear.
The short film is steeped in Inuit traditional beliefs and spirituality. Director Zacharias Kunuk and the production team worked to represent the northern community and time period accurately, to transport audiences and seamlessly carry them into the spirit world of Inuit traditional beliefs.
