Then in 1998, News Corp bought the United States Family Channel which became Fox Family Channel, and it had some pretty cool animated shows as well which were mostly provided by Fox Family Worldwide. In 1996, Saban Worldwide merged with Fox Kids to become Fox Kids Worldwide, a subsidiary of News Corp.

The SLDF didn't win through military, they won through the legal work. Somehow that junk has to get through, but with FASA's rights being as cohesive as a FWL family picnic I can't imagine a good possibility for us. To the former, my only defense is how much merch has been pushed on various titles through the years now. To the latter I agree and would love to see something. I know some folks will think, "Dude you're just making it complicated" or "Well I just want a show to watch". Oh dice gods, electronic rights for games based on the movie/show would be a nosebleed of a headache. The problem I can see is who really does have the rights to stuff? Apparel isn't toys and that isn't video games. Much like others here, I'd love a Spaceballs Battletech the Flamethrower. Mel Brooks said it best, "Merchandising! Merchandising! It's how the real money is made." I'll gloss over many other things and come straight to, what might be the biggest hurdle in my opinion, merchandising. No, I doubt the mentality of "use the TRO art/MW Online art/Whatever other previous art" will suffice.ĭirectors and Producers love to mix around things, bring their own vision to a show. When you do that then there's the art direction to consider. What is the medium? Live Action? Animated? CGI? Some amalgamation of these? Who is the market for? Kids? Adults? in between? Now we don't need to, but that only means we have the other things to consider. Or at least my assessment of it will be that.įirst we already know of the 80 ton Goliath in the room, the Unseen rights.Īssuming they even want to go in that time frame, that would have to be tackled. Just making a show is more than the rights to the show.
