Does anyone know why The Owl House is limited to the USA and UK only? I thought streaming was meant to get rid of these region restrictions.

With the Disney channel shutdown in many countries, there is no legal way to watch recent cartoon series, which will only lead to more piracy.

I think the possible reason could be due to cultural differences since some of the countries in which the show is unavailable are not LGBTQ+ friendly, given the fact that the show's characters Luz and Amity are among the notable LGBTQ+ characters in children's cartoons and also could be due to carriage disputes between Disney and digital TV providers over the service.

I thought that price hike was only for other countries. Ya know, since they're getting Star as an extra section for Disney+.
Anyhoo, while WDAS gets into producing animated series, it makes me wonder what's in store for Disney Television Animation.
I hope DTA is then mostly focused on making original non- movie franchised based things like they have been doing and not just axed by Disney. That'd be sad.

Well, think they said $8.99 American. Plus with STAR will be password protected. Not sure how this will work alongside Hulu. However, STAR will basically be dumping ground for all adult-oriented content from Disney and FOX. Alien, Predator, Die Hard, Pretty Woman, etc.

Hulu is continuing in the US, and Star is launching everywhere else. (Comcast still has an equity interest in Hulu, and Disney will wholly own Star.)

Here's the plot of the new Chip 'n Dale movie.
John Mulaney and Andy Samberg are the new Chip n’ Dale Rescue Rangers - Polygon

But if Chip 'n Dale are still traditionally animated living in a live-action CGI world, why can't they get MacNeille or Burton to reprise them? And what about Monty (Jim Cummings), Zipper and Gadget? And Nimnul?

And get this about Zootopia+.
I hope Nick and Judy will have episodes focused on them, too.

Well I be honest series, but if you going to do this plot, do it with Bonkers, it would fit better.

Heck if you replace this new human character with Marilyn, it could actually work.

Obviously you erase the Lucky promotion to FBI and moving to Washington, and the whole Miranda episodes, just erase from the canon. Never happened.

I'm guessing since Charlie Adler is more of a voice director now, he's rarely done voice acting in shows where he's not the voice director. Like, shows like The Rocketeer and Spiderman 2017 are among the few recent projects where he's done voice acting without also being the voice director.
I am so happy about the Toonami Rewind block. I am so glad it finally happened.
Well, this is how the animated "Married with Children" looks like.
It's interesting how Disney Junior is rebranding, first with the logo, and now educational curriculum being developed under Disney Junior Education And Inclusion rather than the Disney Junior Educational Resource Group.
