Ownership
editIs Warner Bros. Discovery actually an owner of MeTV Toons? Everything I've seen just says they're a "partner," which I assume just means that they're licensing their library to Weigel. Trivialist (talk) 18:15, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Trivialist I think you are correct and the article should not be listed as WBD as part owner. WBD's library is a major supplier to the new channel. However, there are other programs not connected to WBD. Also, on Weigel Broadcasting's webpage, they note they access a variety of studios and distributors for the network.

- About this Warner Bros. Discovery. They didn't do good in the past because they did a lot of cancelations and tax write-offs on animation projects.
- They also removed a lot of Cartoon Network shows on HBO Max.
- But now in 2024, I see new animation projects being unveiled by Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. Both under the ownership by Warner Bros. Discovery. And by the way, I still hate Warner Bros. Discovery.
- And one last thing, what did Warner Bros. Discovery announced?
- P.S. I'm still boycotting Warner Bros. Discovery, because I still hate it. Ryan wiki channel (talk) 08:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding ownership of the cartoons, we have to clarify who originally produced the cartoons and who owns them currently. Steelbeard1 (talk) 19:20, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Cartoons distributed by Columbia Pictures
editThere were three different entities that produced animated cartoons distributed by Columbia Pictures. The first was Charles Mintz Productions. When Columbia bought into the studio in 1933, it was renamed Screen Gems which Columbia assumed full ownership in 1939. After Columbia closed its in-house animation studio, it subcontracted cartoons to United Productions of America and the UPA cartoons were the most successful cartoons that Columbia distributed. While MeTV Toons has access to all the color cartoons Columbia distributed, the UPA cartoons are the ones in most demand. Steelbeard1 (talk) 17:25, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
