1: Nothing too major on NBC's part, but that's subject to change.
2: This makes it even stranger that David the Gnome was dubbed by Miramax, given the existence of George Liquor.
3: Has there been any TMNT or Filmways content in the Disney Adventures comics?
4: Glad to see Disney owns a majority of the
Roger Rabbit franchise. It makes it easier to make it a franchise in the first place.
5: Wasn't Pixar supposed to be included in Amblin's catalog?
6: I think there is just enough content to create Cartoon Network in 1992, when you consider Turner's cartoon library consisting of Tom and Jerry, Droopy, Thundarr, Alvin and the Chipmunks, He-Man, and Little Lulu. Certainly not as expansive as Hanna-Barbera's properties, but it certainly helps.
7: Are there any plans for a
Robotech-themed Ice Capades show? Just putting that out there.
8: It's about time Famous Studios got a name change!
9: I guess Paramount isn't ready for its own cartoon channel.
10: Would it be complete anarchy to imagine Rambo against a Xenomorph or the Predator?
11: I'm amazed that TimeWarner now owns Sports Illustrated.
