Yeah, that's not kosher.

I don't think it was Disney who cancelled it. I thought there was a Misblamed entry somewhere covering that.

Thomas fans needed! Come join me in the the show's cleanup thread!

I looked and I can't find any Misblamed entries on the matter.

Cut it like it's the rope tying your humble raft to the mooring, stopping you from travelling out on the wide open ocean in search of love, adventure and freedom.

And add a copy of that misblamed entry to Clone Wars to discourage any future confusion on the issue.

Someone deleted it. One "snivyTsutarja". They said and I quote, "There isn't any evidence anywhere that Warner Bros/Cartoon Network had owned the show."

Bold claim. Does anyone want to dispute it?

Hello, snivyTsutarja here.

I've looked around the internet from reliable news sources, and I didn't see anything mentioning that Warner Bros/Cartoon Network was the reason for the show getting cancelled. So that was the reason why I decided to delete it because there was little evidence on it other than speculation.

^ Maybe you should have talked with us about that first? And what websites do you consider "reliable"?

I did remove the post on instinct, so in hindsight I should have talked about it first before removing.

The best reliable source I could get is Wired quoting the official post since the original announcement got taken down. "After five highly successful and critically acclaimed seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we feel the time has come to wind down the series." Source: https://www.wired.com/2013/03/disney-clone-wars-cancelled/

Obviously the official quote is just PR speak, but tbh we still don't know the official reason it got cancelled other than speculation (i.e. low ratings is likely why it got cancelled).

"a partnership announced today between Lucasfilm Ltd., Warner Bros. Pictures and Turner Broadcasting System Inc." — original post from the Star Wars website saying that the series was owned by Warner Bros.

A partnership doesn't necessarily mean Warner Bros. co-owned the series. Broadcasting rights, they definitely had, but a partnership doesn't imply co-ownership and could mean a number of other things.

My impression is Warner Bros. was only involved in distributing the theatrical movie. Their logo isn't in the TV episodes. Does Warner own Cartoon Network or have similar say/connection?

snivyTsutarja Since: May, 2018

Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network are both under the same corporate umbrella with WarnerMedianote .

And yes, you are correct that WB was only involved with the movie; CN aired the TV show, but both were distributed under Time Warner.
