While Wildbrain hold digital rights to AOSTH, linear rights are with 41 Entertainment (the successor to Bohbot). They still could get SATAM and Underground from Wildbrain though added note about an unrelated comment: the 94 Mega Man cartoon is definitely NOT with Wildbrain. If you search...

we don't really know. Weigel AI upscale all tape shows in promos (TMNT was upscaled in promos but not on actual airings for example). Wildbrain (current owner of DIC catalog) do have a page where they list official AI upscales they provide as an option. Mario 3 and World are on that list but not...

Captain Planet: cel its entire run, restored by WB SWAT Kats: cel but edited on tape. Would be tricker to restore but possible Pirates of Dark Water: cel Fish Police: I've seen cels online Centurions: all cel. I don't think Ruby-Spears even had a digital ink and paint unit their entire run as a...

I went back and these are the episodes that were cel animated. Less than I remembered but still a good amount. 12, 15, 24, 29, 30, 36

its not a placeholder because the schedule shows Home Movies is returning and that hasn't aired since 2021

One thing people do not understand is US TV ratings are entirely arbitrary. There is no board that rates shows like the MPAA for movies or the ESRB for video games. All ratings are decided by the networks themselves. There is no legal difference between rating programs a certain way and it has...

There's a lot more than 5 cel segments. I did a bit of a deep dive on Wacky World awhile ago and while I can't remember specifics, there were about a dozen half hours that were cel animated. The show has 3 specific animation styles throughout its 65 episodes 1. cel animated (mostly contained in...

what happened with the first Kickstarter is they worked with a production company called Toonz Media Group and were dissatisfied with their work and the project ended up falling apart. They are still trying to pitch it to various producers so who knows what will happen in the future.

Jerry Beck has outright deconfirmed CN shows from coming to the channel. Pretty sure the only other stuff he has outright said no to are Dick Tracy (racism) and Snorks (master issues)

300k is less than what random 7 AM reruns would get 10 years ago. That being the "best" number shows how far cable TV has fallen

the pitch was long after the WBD merger. It just seems to be low on WB's priorities, likely due to the 2016 flop

Craig has said the show was never actually greenlit by Cartoon Network. It was put into early development but Cartoon Network never actually agreed to actually make the thing. Craig is still doing the Fosters preschool show so it will probably be a few years before he can circle back to PPG

Jerry Beck has explicitly stated that MeTV Toons will not air CN original shows. Duck Dodgers is different because its a Looney Tunes series and legally not a CN show but instead a Warner Bros. Animation show. The WBA catalog is distributed and licensed separately from the CN catalog.

just to correct: Norman Normal IS on Tubi its just misplaced with shorts from the earlier 60s

I've only found 3 shorts that MeTV air that Tubi does not carry: "Hare Trigger", "Rebel Rabbit", and "I Taw a Puddy Tat". None of the 3 were ever on HBO Max. There might be more but its a pain to search the whole list. Believe It or Else only exists as a restoration censored (they also did this...
