    TL85: What if Warner didn't lose its cable networks?
    Threadmarks: mainline-events

    "ah sweet, another Warner Bros. AU, as if FoxWarner wasn't enough..." well, let me tell you something… ...this AU is completely different from that one. So... Atari just so happened to get nuked thanks to the video game crash and its licensed E.T. video game IRL. and not only did that crash...

    [OLD] What if Time Warner accepted 21st Century Fox's proposal bid?

    WARNING THIS TIMELINE IS OLD AND I AM PLANNING TO UPDATE IT IN LIKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR SOMETHING. As we all know, 21st Century Fox has placed an $80bn bid on Time Warner around June 2014, but was rejected by Time Warner shareholders a month later due to a forced sale of CNN...

    Fleischer Bros: The Next King of Cartoons

    This Thread will be different since I will usually update this about either weekly or a less semi-weekly
  4. What if the AOL - Time Warner merger never happened?

    I was looking for a thread about this What If in here but I failed to find it. If there is one prior, I'd appreciate if someone linked to it. Anyways, I wanted to discuss the title basically. I'm not an expert in this sort of topics, so I basically wanted to see if other people who knew more...
  5. Would Cartoon Network be in a better place if 21st Century FOX had bought time Warner in 2014?

    I saw this scenario on a blog that I read a few weeks ago. Apparently the bid proposal came a full month before Christina Miller came in as president. With Murdoch now owning WB it's very likely there would've been huge changes behind the scenes. What do you guys think? Would a FOX ownership of...
  6. Merrily We Roll Along: A Post-1969 History of Looney Tunes
    Threadmarks: Initial Meeting

    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...

    WI: Daffy Duck was the mascot of Looney Tunes instead of Bugs Bunny?

    What if, instead of Bugs Bunny, Daffy was the mascot of Looney Tunes? It makes more sense to me, since he's early character was exactly looney (till Chuck decided to ruin it) and Bugs, to me, doesn't seem looney. So what if the "crazy" version of Daffy survived and had become the mascot of the...
  8. What If Disney Buys Time Warner in 2016 Before AT&T

    So I found this article in the NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/24/business/dealbook/att-discovery-warnermedia-backstory.html Basically Bob Iger called Jeff Bewkes, (The dude in charge of Time Warner at the time) about a merger however negotiations regarding the AT&T deal were already...

    AHC: Save Hanna-Barbera

    Simply put, have changes that would allow Hanna-Barbera to remain a viable company in the animation industry.
  10. What if Marvel went to Warner Instead of DC?

    OK, I asked this question a while ago on Reddit and the response was...mixed at best, So I figured I'd re-ask it here and see what comes of it. In 1967, National Periodical Publications, the company that in a decade would officially become DC Comics, was bought by a Car Parking and Cleaning...
  11. DBWI: Warner Bros doesn't buy DWA

    I can't be the only one to like Dreamworks Animations' output under Warner Bros since their acquisition in 2015. Sure it killed Warner Animation Group in its infancy and pretty much turned into into a WB Property Mill, but in exchange we got to see the company make easily the best DC films of...

    garbage old thread

    Inspired by Roger Rabbit of course. Anyway, how can we get Disney to buy Warner Bros or merge to a single company? POD should be roughly around 40s or 50s - 80s.
  13. Disney-Warner Fusion Dance

    If Disney (right before the "Renaissance") and Warner Bros. go bankrupt and somehow become one entity (being bought by a third party, perhaps), how might this change the future landscape of entertainment?
