    State of the Animation Industry
    Bozo Updates

    NEW LINE CINEMA
    New Line's new animation chief Lachlan Cunningham confirms the studio's initial rotation for their Bozo shorts.
    Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget, Madeline, Walter Melon, Samurai Pizza Cats and Andy Larkin have already been confirmed. The Littles have now been added to New Line's rotation.

    DISNEY
    Sir Daniel Abbott:     "After negotiating with Steven Spielberg, who will serve as one of Bozo's executive producers, I am happy to confirm once again that Roger Rabbit will indeed be part of our Bozo rotation."

    Lisa Guerrero (Inside Edition): "Sir Daniel, do you know for sure if Devon Sawa or Zack Shada will voice Casper for Bozo projects?"

    Abbott: "Devon will indeed return for Casper segments for the Bozo series while Zack will concentrate on Scare School, which has just launched on Fox. We've purposely made this decision to avoid cannibalization. Not only that, but we can also confirm that Soleil Moon-Frye will return as Little Audrey."

    PEACOCK
    Phil Nibbelink says that Peacock's rotation will consist of the following:
    Woody Woodpecker, Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, Deputy Dawg, Dick Tracy and the Archies for at least the first year.

    PARAMOUNT
    Emily Chiang says Sonic the Hedgehog segments will air on the same day that Columbia-TriStar delivers a segment featuring the Super Mario Bros.

    Paramount also says they have hired Grey DeLisle to voice Red Vavoom.

    In a bankruptcy court in Amsterdam, Paramount acquires worldwide multimedia rights to George and Jimmy (Sjors en Sjimmie in their native tongue), 35 years after the duo were introduced to North America by Filmation. Henk van der Linden, the former head of the now-defunct Rex Films, says that he hopes Paramount will not repeat the problematic choices he made with his live action adaptations. Previously, Filmation and later Turner Broadcasting had custody of George and Jimmy only in English speaking countries (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland) while Rex Films retained the rights in the Benelux.

    LUXOR
    Pac-Man joins the Luxor rotation with Garfield, Underdog, Gumby and the Jay Ward characters.

    ELSEWHERE
    Warner Bros. firmly states that they intend to focus solely on the Looney Tunes characters for their Bozo contributions.

    Ah, two video game icons together, another reason for the upcoming hype.

    Interesting.

    Speaking of upcoming @OldNavy1988 we are less than a year before the release of Despicable Me (2010). I may have told you this idea before, but I think that TTL's Illumination films - sans the Dr. Seuss adaptations and the Mario movie - should be produced ITTL by Paramount Animation. I say this because Universal/Peacock already has a large an active involvement in the animation sphere compared to OTL, and TBSParamount already has a long history of releasing many animated movies - from The Thief and the Cobbler to The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie. Having the Illumination films be made by Paramount ITTL (as we established that most movies don't seem to be affected by butterflies) would elevate them into a serious player in the theatrical animation realm commercially speaking - as most Illumination films are extremely profitable.

    Thoughts?

    If not Paramount, then perhaps either Warner Bros. (make them have something beyond Looney Tunes), New Line or Lionsgate (gives those studios a stake in the theatrical animation game)?

    If I assign Illumination to TBS+Paramount, which of these logos would you want to see at the beginning?

    I would actually like to see the United Artists logo before the Illumination films that way the UA brand is used for original animated movies and franchises. Meanwhile, the Paramount Pictures brand can appear before movies based on flagship animated IPs like Tom & Jerry, Pink Panther, Sonic the Hedgehog, and SpongeBob Squarepants. Finally, maybe the MGM brand can be used for potential anime movies that TBSParamount might acquire the rights to like Makoto Shinkai's Your Name, The Garden of Words, and Weathering With You - as well as anime movies of anime TBSParamount might get in the future like that of Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen.

    That actually sounds like a good idea. Paramount gets the proven successes, United Artists gets the new hits, and MGM gets the Japanese imports.

    Just one question: If Despicable Me and Sing happen to become as notable as they are IOTL, especially the former, would they move to Paramount Pictures after a decade?

    Plus IOTL, pre-1981 United Artists was known as one of the more riskier and innovative Hollywood studios - so it makes sense that they make all the original animated movies.

    Potentially. Though on the other hand, Illumination films are hardly known for their lasting power. Perhaps Paramount Animation has a better mentality when it comes to riskier projects rather than the "always keep it safe" approach Illumination is known for. Really the big factor would be Chris Meledandri and who manages Paramount Animation.

    A gossip columnist for the Los Angeles Times mentioned in yesterday’s paper that the Cartoon Network has offered rising YouTube sensation Brock Baker a chance to be the substitute voice of Spongebob Squarepants. This comes after many industry insiders expressed concern that current Spongebob voice actor Tom Kenny would logistically be unable to continue the role after accepting WGN’s offer to star in the Bozo revival due to launch next year.
