  • The case of the new woody woodpecker show will always be interesting to me.

    Internationally the show was very popular but not in the US... I feel like this was due to putting the show on hold for nearly 2 years on a block that was going through serious changes, giving it little to no promotion when episodes were new just to make the show return later on until the block's demise.
    A childhood staple of mine (or atleast very early on) was Cartoon Network Too, it was a network that introduced me to alot of the Cartoon Cartoons staples that formed the early days of CN, although it's schedule did get sour till the end (I remember the Cartoon Cartoons block having Skatoony, Billy and Mandy and Ben 10) by the end, it was still a network I watched.
    quite disappointed in the state of pop/tiny pop/pop max, these channels were a huge part of my childhood.

    I was comfortably out of my childhood, but have fond memories of watching Pop when I was hospitalised in 2008, and on trips to an out-of-town friend's house the following year

    I remember Pop from day one as Toons 'n Tunes, when I was lurking in the DigitalSpy forums as a teen back then. The channel didn't even have an on-screen bug yet. Considering that they renamed the channel after the first month, showed that they weren't completely sure what they were doing.

    I'm 99.9% sure their early schedule consisted of shows they got from Granada's library, it wasn't until the end of 2003 when DiC shows arrived to the schedule and brought a name for themselves. Later on DIC shows were replaced by more "modern" cartoons such as Oggy and the Cockroaches and Tracey Mcbean (both of which are on FK.) Quite interesting they were always a generation behind in animation.

    Honestly, why doesn't Disney add the BVS/Saban Library to the 20th Television library, it's no big deal and besides it gives these shows a breath of fresh air and a chance on hulu
    How impacted would animation be if Ted Turner never bought MGM/UA's library in 1986?

    If Ted turner dies will all of mgm’s pre 1986 stuff be back to it’s rightful owner?

    @Eurbane No, WBD own pre-1986 MGM, even if Ted Turner dies.

    Ted Turner no longer lead the TV after stepped down many years ago.

    To this day, ever since 2016. I have rightfully hoped that the BVS Entertainment library will be fully released one day. There will be a day where we see high quality masters of these shows.

    I plan to stay optimistic.

    Disney had an opportunity to release those shows (non-Marvel) when they launch Disney+ in European countries back in 2020 but they didn't at first place for no reason.

    My fear is BVS contents stuck in the vault, along with nearly all of Walt Disney Presents that many of them haven't rerun after premium era ended and other remaining after 2002 when Vault Disney discontinued.

    The issue with that is that well, Disney could brand these shows under a different demonination. Disney themselves have a problem with their own TVA/Offerings which they'll need to go through first.


    BVS content being stuck in the vault is sadly the harsh truth. You'd think after reuniting these shows with the rest of 20th Television they'd do something with them.

    I for one lost all my hopes for these shows to come back on the platform. Disney is gonna keep them locked probably forever.
    I've always had suspicions that the reason why Shin Chan, Rotten Ralph and The Kids from Room 402 never aired on Toon Disney and in Shin Chan's case the ABC Family Action Block.

    Perhaps maybe Disney were that children would replicate the actions of these characters portrayed in these shows?
    Toonsylvania is a hidden gem from the late 90s, A real shame that the show hasn't been recognized since the early 2000s.
    When I was younger I used to think the A.A.P. logo that appeared before a Looney Tunes cartoon was like the DVD selection... Fun times

    When I was a kid I always wondered why that A.A.P. thing only appeared before Looney Tunes and Popeye shorts; I don't know anything about corporations and the like back then.

    Once I found out what it mean't. I was pretty much dumbfounded and impressed at how Warner got back all those cartoons.
    Why does Disney Channel have their own ads made for them?
    Moe

    Disney rather to have Disney branded promotion and Disney sponsored ads to be shown on Disney Channel since transition from premium to basic in 1997, but not case with Disney XD and Disney Junior that they allowed traditional ads, even not related to Disney brand.

    They're not really ads, they're just sponsor bumpers similar to what PBS does.

    The Disney Channel was originally pay TV, and as such, it was ad free. Since then, Disney Channel just shows promotional material between shows, but its shows are sponsored. The digital extra channels like Disney XD do run commercials both during and between programs.
    What do you consider your most favourite channel?

    It could be branding, progammes or even nostalgia


    My favourite channel has to go to Jetix Europe (as a whole). Branding wise it was amazing from 2007-2009 and had wonderful shows
    How impacted would the animation industry be if Haim Saban instead sold the rest of FOX Family Worldwide to news corp?

    It would still eventually end up in Disney's hands later in 2019.

    True but with News Corp in-charge, they'd probably release DVDs of most of the Saban library and Haim Saban probably wouldn't have to buy back the rights to Power Rangers and Digimon.



    The FOX Family Channel and International FOX Kids would retain their name of course

    I think there'd be more effort in streamlining Fox Kids and Fox Family together (the daytime block on Fox Family becomes Fox Kids, Fox Family launches internationally at nighttime on the Fox Kids channels, etc.) and an emphasis on originals from Fox Television Animation (like the Buffy cartoon was supposed to be)
    What is your opinion on Klutter (Cartoon from Eek Stravaganza)

    Honestly it's weaker than Thunderlizards and the Eek segments but as a standalone show, it's alright

    I remember Klutter. It didn't last very long. Not among the best cartoons, but not among the worst either.

    That's the best way to describe the show.


    It probably didn't last long as it was just filler and was only there since Eek episodes were coming out at a sluggish pace then.
    Daily fact: Alot of the shorts you see in House of Mouse were actually cropped from their original 4:3 ratio to 16:9. This means when the show premiered up until Toon Disney HD's release in April 2008, you were viewing shorts that were cropped and cropped again.
    What was your first instance of being hyped for something.


    For me it was the Phineas and Ferb episode "Act your Age"

    Hmm... When Kix launched. I vividly remember seeing the pre-launch promos for it on Pop. I was invested into that channel since day 1

    I think they were 100% wanting a new audience with Kix! they really did nail the promos back then

    probably when Looney Tunes Cartoons (the Max series) was announced here in Romania, airing on Boomerang CEE (then it moved to CN)
    I have actually underestimated how much stuff Wildbrain owns! I can't believe they own Gadget and the Gadgetinis. I wonder when they got back the rights outside of the US

Death is a confirmed Pokémon fan.:D

Wonder if anyone seeking to return to life would channel him to a battle on the games or TCG.
Do you think Tubi will ever grab the original Looney Tunes theatrical shorts? Ever since Max dropped them, they have been without a streaming home.
It was for my luck to sleep throughout the mod hack (going to bed 19 mins before it all started)!
Disney put up a Max Goof lo-fi thing heh
