    Looney Tunes Franchise In Trouble?

    ^^All of this.^^ In addition, there's no guarantee that this buyout will even succeed, considering that the idea of the Ellisons gaining a near monopoly on American media isn't going to sit well with a lot of regulators. The Ellisons have also managed to tick off the SAG, which will impede...

    Warner Bros. Discovery News & Discussion Thread

    Here's where everything is set go (right now); keep in mind this split is in its' initial "metamorphic goo" phase, so this could change over time.

    Warner Bros. Discovery News & Discussion Thread

    The Lunar Chronicles has just gotten a release date announced. Season 3 of Primal has been announced. The Cartoon Network panel and Sam Register of WB Animation are at Annecy today. All of WB's animated TV and movie projects in the pipeline from 2026 to 2028 are still happening unless otherwise...

    If they rebooted the Laff A Lympics

    I like the idea of a Cartoon Cartoons team, however any additional teams beyond the original 3 (not to mention coaches, which I also think is a good idea) would be a lot of characters for a half-hour show. The only way I could see that working would be if the teams rotated from episode to...

    Looney Tunes Franchise In Trouble?

    Hey, guys. Just popped in to say that this "Warner Bros. Discovery selling off the Looney Tunes" story is 100% Grade A Balonium. Not true at all. @wiley207 and @Nexonius have already laid out the bulk of why and how this is nonsense, but I'll just put in my 2 cents: This rumor was started by a...

    New Theatrical Looney Tunes Project from Todd Wilderman and Hamish Grieve

    I personally prefer the 1940s era Looney Tunes over the 50's when Jones thrived; I'm particularly less than enamoured with Jones' take on Daffy Duck. The egomaniacal jerk persona can be funny at times, but IMO that shouldn't be his default depiction. I was actually glad that we started to move...

    The Disney+/Hulu/MAX bundle

    Since a lot of the Cartoon Network stuff is now on Hulu, I'm definitely considering it. In our current home situation, our dad pays for Disney+ while @Goldstar! and I pay jointly for Max. (We subscribed separately for those services at different times.) If it turns out getting the bundle saves...

    Will Summer Camp Island and/or Steven Universe be DFC's new flagship(s) in 2025?

    Agreed. The problem there is that ever since Friendship is Magic ended, LPS: A World of Our Own ceased production and Hanazuki faded away, the channel's become a rerun farm. The current DFC is basically another Boomerang, only with some Discovery shows.

    Will Summer Camp Island and/or Steven Universe be DFC's new flagship(s) in 2025?

    The Hasbro shows really aren't as vital to DFC as you seem to think they are. With the entire WB library at their disposal, they don't need the Hasbro stuff to survive, and the lack of those shows wouldn't dramatically alter the channel's schedule or format. DFC doesn't need the canceled Hasbro...

    Cartoon Cartoons Shorts Program

    No one here is fear mongering, blaming David Zaslav or crying that the animation industry is dying, at least I'm not, and I know @JMTV isn't either. As I said previously, this is the unfortunate result of a project getting scrapped due to a change in management; things like this happen during...

    Cartoon Cartoons Shorts Program

    If that's true, then it's pretty scummy. They're just going to sit on these shorts and then not let the artists take their chances somewhere else. The ONLY justifiable reason I can see for CN doing this is in case they may want to release them at some point in the future; otherwise, yeah, it's...

    Cartoon Cartoons Shorts Program

    ^^Yeah, that sucks, but that'll happen when a network or studio changes hands. There are always casualties in a regime change. A regime change killed Megas XLR on CN, for example. The new higher-ups felt the show was too dude-centric and wanted shows with more of a general appeal as they were...

    MeTV Toons - Network TALKBACK & Discussion Thread

    I wouldn't mind seeing The Banana Splits again myself, but given that the show itself is live action and served as a wraparound for cartoon segments, it seems unlikely. The channel could easily just air the cartoons and omit the Splits segments, but then MeTV isn't adverse to puppet hosts and...
