To give some minor spoilers, Transformers, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Charlie Brown all become WB-distributed properties.

What he said.
But that is very intriguing.
Could WB also eventually get into the anime dubbing business?
I got some ideas for what they should dub.
It'd boost their animation department significantly.
Well, in case they do, here is the dubs they should make:
- the Mazinger franchise (their primary Transformers-esque franchise)
- Speed Racer (get all American rights to, maybe Speed Racer: The Next Generation could air on Cartoon Network instead of Nicktoons Network, and be better animated)
- Lupin The Third
- Gundam (the more mature mecha franchise)
- Slam Dunk
- Yu Yu Hakusho
- Dragon Ball (y'all know why, and I think WB would probably do this franchise justice).
- Cardcaptor Sakura (anyone but Nelvana)
- Detective Conan (I also want this to succeed in America)
- Hunter X Hunter
- Shin Chan (and not that gag dub that ran on Adult Swim in the 2000's)
- One Piece (ANYONE BUT 4KIDS)
- Fullmetal Alchemist (based off @TheFaultsofAlts's idea for having WB buyout Squaresoft, despite FMA being a Enix property, I still think a small partnership with Enix would be cool)
- Doraemon (I JUST WANT DORAEMON TO GET A CHANCE IN AMERICA!)
- Bleach
- Death Note
- Sword Art Online
- Attack On Titan
- Demon Slayer
- Spy X Family
- Jujustu Kaisen

Would Kingdom Hearts be a collaboration between Warner Bros. and Square?
Yes, but not with the Kingdom Hearts name. I decided to call this collaboration "Looney Tales", as that would also reflect the hybrid of IPs at work.
Would it be possible for 20th Century Fox to collaborate with Square on a Fox Kingdom Hearts?
I think Fox would barely have enough properties to collaborate for this. Certainly not enough to turn it into a franchise, no less.
So would Fox need more properties to collaborate with Square?
Is it possible for Fox to get the rights to Pingu, so that there can be a Pingu world in Kingdom Hearts?
Can the violence be downplayed in the Pingu world or not?
What other properties can Fox get their hands on so that they can collaborate with Square?
I mean, as of this point, Fox already has The Simpsons, Ferngully, Alien, the original Star Wars trilogy, Family Guy, King of the Hill, and others.
Merrily We Roll Along: A Post-1969 History of Looney Tunes
On July 4th, 1969, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts was acquired by the Kinney National Company. In order to cut costs, Kinney head Steve Ross set his sights on the newly reopened animation studio. In order to save the studio, and thus their jobs, producer Bill Hendricks and director Robert McKimson made...

For anyone who may decide to do a WI DuMont survived TL:
Last I checked, there was already one:
DuMont will make TV work: A TL
Allen DuMont worried. He would have paced, in fact, but he had fallen far to ill with the worst flu that he could remember in quite some time to be able to do that. So instead he laid in bed unable to sleep as his emotions raged inside him. “Why now, of all times, for this to happen, when I had...

But I would dig and fully support and back a new DuMont TL.
