Are the 80's back now? Cartoons only exist to sell toys?

Gumbi reboot confirmed

Inhumanoids when?

Sounds like a waste of talent.

i wonder if they will move there existing cartoons over.

come to think of it do they even have any current cartoons other then transformers prime and mlp

Prime is long been canceled. The only TF shows on are Rescue Bots and NuRID

Robots in Disguise, MLP, and Transformers Rescue Bots.

well shit looks like they already had
dhx was doing the pony stuff before weren't they this is gonna be a blow to there profits.

i imagine clue will be some sort of series of shorts play dough will be an attempt to replicate the success of the lego movie and nothing is ever gonna come of monopoly

auctualy i think i just worked out why they are trying to avoid a repeat of the production problems that have been encountered with the pony film.

i was expecting them to buy idw first myself

I'm pretty sure the only piece of media Hasbro has put out in the last several decades that's not to sell toys is the bayformers films

And I suppose there various comica

fuck, will this affect the quality of what boulder produces? will this affect gumball?

Boulder only worked on season one.

>he doesn't know that the first movie caused transformer toy sales to quintuple

These madmen, half those cartoons are doomed before they get out the door

New GI Joe please. Reboot it with some non-military-esque concept so soccer moms don't get mad I don't care just bring the characters back,

Prime wasn't cancelled though, it got the three seasons they set out to have. It's just over.

Jem cartoon reboot when?

Why Play-Doh and Monopoly?

I would have thought they make up things like

>Mutant Martian Cyber Dinosauroids
>Jake vs the Skeleton Pirates
>Princess Loftia of the Awesome Dimension in Beverly Hills
>Magic Ninjas of Qi Mountain

Then wrap some toy sets around those concepts.

Play doh because Lego movie monopoly I really don't know

Why are all the tf cartoons bad now except rescue bots
discuss

Not enough waifu bait characters.

will cartoons have shared universe that movie is going to have?

holy shit

shitty writings

how do you mean?

>Play-Doh, Monopoly, Clue,

uhh

good

>Toy company Hasbro bought animation studio Boulder Media, and says it will start production on cartoons about Clue
If there isn't a running gag of "the butler did it!!", I will literally lose my shit.

Also, a Play-Doh cartoon sounds nice though so long as it's a hybrid of cgi and stop motion like the lego movie was

>monopoly
>yfw they make the old guy into a hip young african american

Nuts to that, make it like the Clue movie.

>I hated her so, so much, f...flames...flames, out the side of my head...

bland and uninspired story and dialogue
