As Dreamers Do Part Deux

[UNIVERSAL.EXE]

"After 1997, as the years went by, I waited patiently for the phone to ring. To see if Warners was planning anything new with Felix. Ten years went by without any new Felix material for his legion of fans."

ooh ooh ooh

How about a Felix the Cat anime?

One that's not Baby Felix?

I've already got the plot down, it's gonna be a battle shounen.

It is more likely that there will be new theatrical shorts.

This is what Paramount currently uses as of 2007 ITTL...

A few years after the TBS-Paramount deal closes and the merger is complete, this is what they'll use for the centennial:

That's cool too, just throwing ideas around

Battle shonen anime.

Felix the Cat.

No.

 

[UNIVERSAL.EXE]

Battle shonen anime.

Felix the Cat.

Ok then dude

 

[TheFaultsofAlts]

Can we circle back? Because I'm surprised that new theatrical shorts are being made in the late 2000's and afterwards.

Yeah it's a cool idea. I wouldn't mind seeing Felix the Cat just before, say, SpongeBob: Sponge Out of Water or something

@TheFaultsofAlts
Warner Bros. has had more courage bringing the Looney Tunes back to theatres after the crossover flick with NSYNC in '99.

Here's what each logo will look like for each TBS-Paramount movie label going forward...
Paramount (Label A)

United Artists (Label B)

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (Label C)

Future projects involving The Wizard of Oz, Tom and Jerry, Poltergeist, Spaceballs, Species or Legally Blonde franchises could see all three back to back in the order above.

Going forward, Paramount will now have access to the MTV properties (Aeon Flux, Beavis and Butt-Head, Daria, Jackass, etc.) they already own IOTL.

WAIT? Theatrical shorts are still a thing here?

But seriously, you should go to his anime idea!

Battle shonen anime.

Felix the Cat.

No.

Ok then dude

I mean, I like the idea.

Same here.

Couple more things I'd like to add to the perks of the TBS-Paramount deal:

Spoiler

In addition to getting the rights to Beavis and Butt-Head, Paramount already owns King of the Hill, which airs on UPN ITTL. Now with both in their combined library, Paramount will now have the option of approaching Mike Judge to see if he's interested in a possible B&B/KOTH crossover.

Spoiler

The NBA will wait till the 2007-08 season is over before making a decision on its next TV contract. That gives the league enough time to wait for the TBS-Paramount deal to be approved by Congress before negotiating the inclusion of UPN into its proposed extension of TNT's Tuesday/Thursday night package. ESPN/XYZ, The Hub, FX, USA Network and WB Sports/Freeform will still bid for the Wendesday/Friday night package. The weekend afternoon package, which includes select Christmas Day games and the NBA Finals, will likely be shared by UPN and either NBC, SBC, ABC, CBS or Fox.

OH YEAH NOW WE'RE TALKING!

But on the other hand, what happens to Tracy Beaker, Sarah Jane Adventures and those other CBBC shows not that Odyssey is being sold?

Paramount will still have the North American rights as they do with other BBC franchises. It is likely that TBS shifts to family-oriented fare while TNT takes more of a general entertainment approach.

Yes. That one.

The opposite of what I am predicting for my timeline.

Also, the LA Paramount Odyssey content will move to TBS, while the animated content will move to CN or Boomerang, correct?
