Per Deadline, WAG EVP Allison Abbate is leaving the studio. Unclear if this is related to the current layoffs at WBD or not.

Abbate oversaw most of WAG's slate in the last five years, including DC League of Super-Pets...which makes me wonder if the BO underperformance of that movie had a hand in this.

Warner Animation Group is about to become Warner Bros. Feature Animation, so why worry or complain?

Because more people could potentially lose their jobs in the process. There could be more changes or more projects being cancelled as a result of the change as well. Given their recent backlash and decisions they've made with the WB and Discovery merger, I think there are valid reasons for people to complain or worry about.

As much as I'm not obsessed with Warner Bros as I was with Disney, but I hope the Season 5 of Looney Tunes Cartoons and Bye Bye Bunny survives. :crying:

Will Allison's departure result in WB's version of Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat getting canned?
