Happy netizens immediately voiced their satisfaction once the studio cleared the air. One tweeted, ‘Relieved to know. Please, never let your pure sense of creativity and furious passion be infiltrated and corrupted by greedy, corporate sell outs just looking for a pay day. Also, fire Zazlav’. While another said, ‘The fact that folks in animation were attempting to convey this but terror mongering tweets were getting viral instead’.
According to WION, Warner Bros. formally confirmed on Tuesday that 125 positions, or 26% of their staff, will be lost across scripted, non-scripted, and continuing programmes. Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network’s merger, according to studio CEO Channing Dungey, might have more consequences than they had anticipated. In a nutshell, the Cartoon Network name is still used, albeit under the Warner Bros. label. Only Warner Bros. officials, however, have the authority to say whether the brand will continue to exist in the future.
