Logo History: Monty Python films
Monty Python's first entry into the United States came in the form of Columbia Pictures' import of And Now for Something Completely Different, a filmed version of sketches from the TV series. That movie was later reissued after PBS began airing Flying Circus and Columbia's import of Holy Grail proved successful.
Beginning with Jabberwocky, the Pythons found favor with Walt Disney, Jr.. Disney released the Pythons' Life of Brian in 1979 under the Hyperion label. Hyperion had been in existence for about ten years and was recently reformatted as an arthouse label after Disney's purchase of 20th Century-Fox.

The Pythons would further call upon Disney's Hyperion brand to release Time Bandits and The Meaning of Life, Brazil, Baron Munchausen and The Fisher King. Once exception was A Fish Called Wanda, which the Pythons released through Turner's MGM label.
This Buena Vista card below was seen at the end of both the Crimson Permanent Assurance short and The Meaning of Life.

Logo History: ET: The Extra Terrestrial
In 1982, Disney initially planned to release ET: The Extra Terrestrial under the Fox label. However, during post-production, Walt Disney, Sr. gave Steven Spielberg a sneak peek at a new logo for the flagship Disney brand. Immediately, Spielberg requested his film open with the castle logo that has been in use ever since.
In the original 1982 theatrical release, the film closed with this Buena Vista card below, followed by a silent variant of the new Disney castle logo.
After the film proved to be the biggest hit of '82, ET and Elliot became the mascots of Amblin Entertainment. In subsequent home video and cable prints, the Amblin logo was attached to the end of the film. The Amblin logo has since been retroactively added to post-1983 prints of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Return of the Jedi.

What happened IOTL was that VH1 went backwards with I Love the 70's before they did I Love the 90's. So it is coming.

Jim Cornette: "I've gone on record to say Vince Russo did not write the Washington Poo Job [1] despite writing other garbage wrestling angles. But Ian Rotten takes the cake with what he did the other day at a CZW show in New Jersey. Ian Rotten dropped his pants and took a shit on Mad Man Pondo while Pondo was laying on the canvas, bleeding from all the broken glass and barbed wire.

MCA Holdings confirms that Universal's Fantastic Realms theme park is back in development [2]. Saban has bought the theme park rights to New Line's franchises back from Paramount and Bally with the intent of partnering with Universal starting in 2010 [3].

[3] Universal's current third parties are RKO, Nintendo and Hasbro. The New Line properties licensed to Bally (Madeline, Power Rangers) were originally copyrighted by Golden Harvest of America when Saban and Bally made the agreement in 1994 or so. Jack Kluge's Metromedia conglomerate still owned New Line when they licensed Terminator, RoboCop, Jason and Freddy to the Paramount Pinnacle. New Line has since been bought by Bertelsmann and Hallmark, who later sold the company to Haim Saban in 1999.

Animation and Anime right now are in a strange situation. Bob Iger, the new chairman of The Jim Henson Company thought it would be a good idea to have John Lasseter consolidate Hanna-Barbera and Pixar under one roof. Henson has also decided to part ways with Klasky-Csupo after 2008, especially with Gabor Csupo wanting to direct live action films for kids.
Peacock has decided to change Murakami-Wolf-Swenson's name to RKO Animation, pretty much erasing MWS from the annals of animation.
Is this supposed to be bad?
At least Disney and Cartoon Network is still holding up, right????
Is Toonami still on the air?
The original voice of Winnie the Pooh doing narration for Thomas the Tank Engine...
I'd probably become a Thomas enthusiast if this happened.
As she rightfully should.
That reminds me. How many characters have been revived for the new Fox Movietoons shorts?
I gotta say, having Simpson Fever and Turtlemania intersect on the same network under Disney's ownership more or less is nothing short of a miracle in motion.
I'm inclined to agree with Spielberg, although part of me thinks ET could have been the first Disney-Fox dual brand release if that sneak peek wasn't timed well enough.
Speaking of Disney remakes, I'd probably watch the Sleeping Beauty remake just to hear Betty White as Merryweather. Come on, that is a perfect casting role!
So, to clarify, we still have Saved by the Bell, Super Mario, and Transformers at the Universal Parks, and the Power Rangers and Terminator would be coming in around five years time.
Does Disney have any third-party licenses for their theme parks? If not, they might want to step up in that department. Or not, it's your choice.
Merging HB with Pixar? That's just off. At least Disney was the standard of 2D animation for the longest time, and arguably still is.
Meanwhile, they couldn't have just let Gabor Csupo have an Touchstone distribution contract for his new films?
That's pretty sad to me, especially since we're swapping an old initial for an even older one.
Well, I really, really hope he just means putting them into their own separate combined animation unit and be treated as major parts of the company, yet remain separate....
If not.......
We're about to be screwed...
Right? That's what I'd do.
Exactly.
And at this point, I'm kinda scared about the fate of Toonami ITTL..
I’ve had an idea for cartoon about a Capybara that’s a postman who helps the locals with everyday occurrences
