Its become harder for original voices over the last few years, as streaming began to really ascend.
Discovery animation portfolio, even a new studio tagline, Everything Original.
And then Registers going to pump it all into the giant Warner Bros.
Discovery machine to ensure people see it.
The big-picture play is for CN Studios to position itself as an appealing destination for creators of new work.

Well, we have a studio for that, too.
All of these properties will run on Cartoon web connection andstream on HBO Max.
It made amazing content, but that alone doesnt work in a streaming universe.

Amazon StudiosUndoneis as distinct an animated show as any released in recent years.
(Its first animated original is literally calledFreak Brothers.)
