Welcome to the Animation Monday segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Animation Monday will feature stuff from the animation and cartoon worlds. Animation has become an extremely popular format in today’s media driven world. And we here at Geek Alabama love to feature animation content!
With Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon now under the same parent company, a doomsday clock has been set. The two may merge into one animation studio much sooner than later: meaning that only one can live.
The worst outcome has come to pass: Warner Bros and Paramount have officially merged to become the same company: Skydance. We already know countless jobs will be lost alongside numerous projects that will be cancelled, but we’re also seeing Skydance merge numerous studios and streaming platforms that they own already. So when looking at the world of animation, it feels inevitable that we’re seeing the end of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon as we know it; the channels, the studios and the brands. Will David Ellison kill these studios? Or are they already as good as dead?
