Trivia / Moonscoop

• Channel Hop: Due to Moonscoop going bankrupt in mid-2013, several of its assets were auctioned by French courts to different companies. It can be generally agreed, most of Moonscoop's European-produced series went to Dargaud's Ellipsanime (with distribution taken over by Dargaud's another unit Mediatoon), while the American and non-European ones were spun-off along with the US branch to Splash Entertainment. However, there are some exceptions to the rule.
  • WildBrain (then known as DHX Media) re-acquired distribution rights Moonscoop previously held to 20 series Cinar co-produced with the French studio's precedessors France Animation and Antefilms.^note The shows in question likely include: Albert the Fifth Musketeer, The Babaloos, The Busy World of Richard Scarry, Cat Tales, C.L.Y.D.E., The Country Mouse and the City Mouse Adventures, Flight Squad, Ivanhoe, The King's Knight, The Legend of White Fang, Madeline specials, Night Hood, Patrol 03, The Real Story Of..., The Smoggies, Young Robin Hood and whatever remaining rights they have for Robinson Sucroe.
  • Your Family Entertainment as per their 2014 report, acquired shows they co-produced with France Animation in which Cinar didn't participate, such as Sanbarbe and Urmel.
  • Their rights to Casper's Scare School have been transferred to DreamWorks Animation (owners of Casper and successors of the series' co-producers Classic Media).
  • The rights to the 2010 Tara Duncan series seem to have reverted back to the book series' creator Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian, whose company Princess SAM Productions, inked in 2016 deal with US-based Janson Media for the show's distribution on Amazon Prime.
