I really hope their study comes back in a positive light.
I'd go for Michael Eisner on this.
So, does that mean that Don Bluth's classic films become Disney staples? In that case, will The Land Before Time have as many sequels as they did ITTL?
Why is Casper and the Angels made by Grantray-Lawrence ITTL, instead of Hanna-Barbera?
I agree with Roy E. Disney. Bring on Frank Wells! With that said, are there any new dubs in the pipeline for Fox?
If I could make a suggestion, how about a Woody Woodpecker movie after Pippi Longstocking, so that Lantz can end his career off with a bang? As for Popeye, in OTL, at least, Famous Studios was the company that brought him into color, so they kinda know from experience on using his characters. Sure, it might not be in this timeline, but it's something.
It will likely be a new show. I mean, the evidence is in the anniversaries. 30 years for Crusader Rabbit, 20 years for Rocky and Bullwinkle, and 10 years for Karen Sympathy? How could Jay Ward NOT create a new cartoon in 1979?
Well, when the Chipmunks made a comeback during that period IOTL, it led to one of the most popular Saturday Morning cartoons in history, so putting Chuck Jones in the driver's seat for this might be interesting to see.
Here's hoping that the new company can last in this climate.
I actually think that WB should acquire Avery-Clampett, plus their library, and revive their interest in animation by letting the new subsidiary have free reign over the cast. I mean, these two guys ruled the roost back in the 40's at the studio, so it seems to go full-circle to have the company outright acquire a smaller studio for the purposes of restarting their cartoon-making days.
Godspeed, Nelvana.
This box-office brawl could lead to some interesting details in the future. Of course, it's nice that Richard Williams is getting a competent distributor for this.
20th Century-Fox owns the Casper property, which originated from its Fox Movie Toon series during the Golden Age of Animation.
The next anime dubs for Fox are Angie Girl, Candy Candy and maybe Dog of Flanders. Speed Racer has been held up by licensing disputes.
A Woody project is indeed in the works.
I'm not sure of any Jay Ward projects that went unproduced IOTL that could be dusted off ITTL.
