Netflix Animation Division Gets Gutted

[Captain Smith]

Don't have it anymore. Ended up watching Korean stuff (pretty good) and some documentaries. Not worth the money for just the Witcher. I get HboMax with my cable, internet package - so there's enough junk to watch.

Hope this doesn't impact their anime division, that's the bulk of what I watch on Netflix.

Also, Boss Baby has always looked terrible to me. I don't want that to be what any streamer aims for.

Netflix, once every major studio decided to take their shows back and start their own streaming service, became the place for more quirky, creative, original programming because they kind of had to. But if their plan is to now become like everyone else and rely on popular "franchises" when they basically don't own any...seems like something doomed to fail.

so bridgerton, you, arcane and inventing anna are the only things keeping netflix afloat?

At the end of the day I’ll get rid of the other streaming services I have before I drop Netflix, ik there’s always going to be something up there to watch. Disney+ would def be the first to go, them marvel shows have not touched me and I can tell the budget is just not there, but that’s also becoming evident in the films as well I must say. I liked bad batch but that’s not enough to keep it. Hbomax would be next, RBW is the only thing I watch from them.

Netflix needs a killer ip like GoT, something that will get people talking and to anticipate. Witcher is good but not good enough. I was thinking about a live action DOTA but they would have to drop that bag and get top tier talent. A fleshed out LA series would be amazing though imo…

Ozark, and I think that Vikings show did numbers. They also have their big budget original films…

[The Gold Stream]

good supercrooks was trash

arcane is solid though but they have Riot funding either way

I want for the animation division to survive long enough for Sonic Prime to be released.

I hope it doesn't, either. I want more of Eden's Zero, Kotaro Lives Alone, Way Of The House Husband. I certainly hope this doesn't affect that anime version of Splinter Cell they are doing as well.

Honestly I'm wondering if Paramount is trying to find a way to get Sonic Prime instead because they're trying to be the new streaming home of Sonic.

The last kingdom is pretty awesome as well...DOTA: Dragon's blood ..Ultraman... all winners.

Kind of curious how this might impact their deal with Ubisoft to developed properties on Far Cry and Assassin's creed.

If anything it'll speed it along - the whole thing is they want less creative original stuff and more big name franchise stuff.

[Derek Metaltron]

Whatever happened with their plans for Narnia stuff? I remember hearing they got the rights and wondered if they'd use that to combat Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time over on Prime and GOT with HBO, but maybe they figure Witcher has them covered.

I think Tomb Raider and Kong: Skull Island were also meant to get animated projects...

Never touched Far Cry, but very interested to see what their Assassins Creed stuff looks like.

As I recall they mentioned plans for a live action series, an animated series and an anime series for Assassins Creed at the time.
