Until stated otherwise, there's nothing saying that Genndy's projects at Sony have been scrapped or affected by this.

This deal was announced very recently, building upon Genndy's already ongoing Warner projects like Primal Season 2, and Unicorn: Warriors Eternal. (By the way, we just got new developments about that project yesterday! Highly recommend checking out its thread.)

Yeah, odds are that he might have finished with Black Knight and Fixed if he was able to sign an exclusivity deal with WBA and CNS. (At least, in my opinion.)

Now if you'll excuse me...

Side note, a new Looney Tunes movie? And it isn't a CG/live-action hybrid?! Took them long enough! grin

I'm super glad Genndy Tartakovsky is coming back to Cartoon Network. Great things may come of this. I hope they woo back Craig McCracken next. Oh, and Maxwell Atoms. That dude's paid his dues.

...but where the hell is Genndy's Popeye movie?! Last I hard, King Features still wanted him to make it.

I'm pretty sure Warner Bros. technically owns the distribution rights to Popeye, through its acquisition of Turner Entertainment. What I don't know is if that covers the ability to do anything new with the character.

King Features still owns Popeye but it’s not like WB could get the license. I mean WildBrain did so a while back.

[up] I'm surprised a mainstream outlet hasn't reported on it yet, but some individual eventgoers noted its cancellation announcement at the Annecy. The event took place in France, by the way, hence the native tongue.

Correction. We’re not good enough to have a Popeye that isn’t the one from the 2021 game where he gets smacked upside the head by Bluto ninety billion times.

Well, a new guy just took over the comic and he's actually quite good.

But since no one on the site reported this, Everett Peck, creator of Squirrel Boy and - more importantly - Duckman passed away on Tuesday.

Craig McCracken revealed some of the art he contributed to the newly-released Gorillaz art book. Shows some of Murdoc in jail with the Gangreen Gang (without Ace, cuz Ace became a temporary member of Gorillaz).

I love how this is technically canon to the Powerpuff Girls world lol.

Hate to be late to the party, but yeah, RIP Everett Peck. I've not seen much Duckman, but I know very well how highly regarded it is, and the little I've seen convinces me it deserves the praise it gets.

Now if you want my two cents regarding Squirrel Boy, I agree that the show is overhated, but in the end, its a rather unremarkable show imo. CN Studios' productions are many things, but unremarkable is one thing they generally aren't and I think that's why people often view Squirrel Boy with such disdain.

Jason DeMarco, the co-creator of Toonami, recently did a Q&A on Twitter and Reddit. You can most of the details in the Toonami thread, but I wanted to share some highlights that also apply to Cartoon Network and Adult Swim:

  • Looking into making "fun, action oriented shows for kids 6-11" for Cartoon Network
  • Been begging WB for years to let them air DC shows "at a price we can afford". Seeing "encouraging signs" regarding that.
  • "Haven't heard anything" regarding more Ballmastrz
  • Rick and Morty: The Anime will be on Adult Swim proper
  • The Shivering Truth would be the one canceled AS show he'd bring back
    • In other news, Shivering Truth was apparently canceled!

Action cartoons? On Cartoon Network? That's something I haven't heard in ages.

CN and [as] are suddenly erasing several of their shows from existence, such as removing them from their sites and taking down their YT vids. These include

  • Final Space
  • Dream Corp LLC or whatever its called
  • Elliott from Earth
  • Thundercats Roar
  • Beef House
  • JJ Villard's Fairy Tales
  • Power Players
  • The Fungies (at least in Europe and Asia), and
  • Little Ellen (S3 of this show was supposed to air a week ago but it was delayed indefinitely)

Someone add this to Screwed by the Network.

The Final Space guy has a Kickstarter called Godspeed with the explicit intent on trying to get the various studios attention so he can hopefully be allowed to finish Final Space so.....That plan probably wouldn't work if they wrote it off.

I wouldn't be shocked if they can Little Ellen. It's a shame though because it's a visually distinct show that's ruined because of the name attached to it.
