UPDATE POST NUMERO TRES
RETURNED TO SPANISH NUMBERING SYSTEM, HELL YEAH!!
(unsuprisingly at home rn, April 30, 2024)
first post in a long time, eh?
well, I cooked too much ideas that are HUGE for this timeline:
Soo, a couple of things out of the way...
KLASKY CSUPO JOINS TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX
yes, that's right. I'm putting the studio behind Rugrats onto Fox instead of Nickelodeon for two logical reasons. The first reason is that I'd want to make more room for Warner Bros. cartoons on Nickelodeon (considering that this timeline is basically about that), and the second reason is that Klasky-Csupo used to work on animation services for The Simpsons before Season 4.
Also, this could help Fox because at least Klasky-Csupo could cover for the Saban shows that were pulled off due to a management dispute, so expect the Power Rangers to land on another network after Saban and said network's owner sign a deal.
and please keep in mind that Klasky-Csupo (as an animation studio) would merge with Film Roman, while the rest of the company becomes a copyright holder co-owned with Arlene Klasky and Gabor Csupo, Film Roman, and to nobody's surprise... 20th Century Fox
speaking of Nickelodeon shows moving to other networks to make room for WB cartoons...
OTL NICKELODEON SHOWS MOVING TO OTHER NETWORKS
MAINLINE SHOWS
- Fairly OddParents! & Danny Phantom (same reason as Rugrats and all the other shows, Butch Hartman previously worked at Hanna-Barbera outside our timeline, and yes, Disney aired the show in certain territories [won't happen ITTL], but well, since Nick needs space for Warner 'toons [including Pokémon], the CARTOON NETWORK might fit as their new home. [also, Bunsen gets released earlier around the Yes! era, and actually does well])
- My Life as a Teenage Robot (probably same reason as Butch, Renzetti previously worked at H-B. and there was also a scrapped crossover with PPG OTL and a fake backdoor pilot video, but it sorta made sense to put XLJ-9 on the Checkerboard network)
- Jimmy Neutron (now, I know what YOU are thinking, "are you gonna move Jimmy to CN? because they got a crossover with Fairly OddParents outside our timeline" but it won't happen, instead, we will put it on Fox Family of all channels because, y'know, CGI won't work for CN, especially VeggieTales level of CGI. the movie's gonna be distributed by Fox instead, and the Jimmy crossover could be eradicated in favor of a PPG crossover for FOP.)
- Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island (Isn't Coconut Fred a WB show? you may ask, again... yes, but since WB owns Nick, there's gonna be internal rivalry with SpongeBob here... I'm gonna move it to Fox Family yet again... because I don't think it works for Disney and it's too dumb for CN.)
don't worry though, Aang, Zim and Rudy are gonna be safe here, Nick would have more room for more shows.
PRESCHOOL SHOWS
-
Dora The Explorer (arguably one of Nick Jr.'s most iconic shows, if you ever existed, you'd be aware of HER existing. It's a hard sacrifice, but off to
Qubo you go! [I had to do this to make room for motherfucking Baby Looney Tunes])
- Peppa Pig (I was initially wanting to scrap Wonder Pets and move that to Qubo, but I would rather choose Peppa anyday. I mean, she did air on Cartoon Network outside of our timeline anyway. [she's iconic too, but not remembered AS fondly as Dora. but hey, that's a good sacrifice just so that Sesame Street could go in])
- Wow Wow Wubbzy! (now that's an absolute f*cking masterpiece, one of my favorite childhood shows, I'd say. I would have moved it to Qubo, but I chose to move it to Fox Family for the fact that NewsCorp owns Starz IMTL. it could help Fox's Sprout take a stand against Playhouse Disney, Qubo and Nick Jr.)
- Bubble Guppies (it's a show about mermaids, I don't think it feels Nick Jr. to me, I would've sacrificed PAW Patrol but I chose another show that I could sacrifice yet not lose some value. GO TO EITHER PLAYHOUSE DISNEY OR QUBO I DON'T FUCKING CARE!; and oh, its replacement would be Kerwhizz, a show some guy on Discord couldn't shut up about, to be honest, I think it feels unique for the network.)
whew, taken care of all of those shows, let me take a break...
*forgets mentioning Spielberg...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Universal messes with Steven Spielberg's next movie and Spielberg is so disappointed he took the rights to his movies and signed a deal with Warner Bros. instead... (it's in the eighties by the way)
ah sweet, now that I have taken care of all of that... allow me to talk about Hanna-Barbera...
Hanna-Barbera Animation
Hanna-Barbera Animation is an American animation studio currently owned by Viacom Corporation, it has currently four divisions as of now (Television, Animation, Experimental, Williams Street), and they produce programs for Cartoon Network, Qubo, [adult swim] and CNX...
it is this timeline's equivalent to Cartoon Network Studios and Paramount Animation
WHEW!
this has taken long for me to finish
hope you all had fun with this stupid ass article
