That Old Warners Animation Team Back Together Again

This gives me a 1990s kind of flashback.

The Paris-based company announced Wednesday that it’s getting into the business of producing animated TV content. It’s Technicolor’s first foray in its 117-year history into original production.

The initiative will leverage Technicolor’s Bangalore, India animation studio and will be managed by the digital productions division that has been under the watch of former Sony Imageworks president Tim Sarnoff ...

Jean MacCurdy and Fonda Snyder have been brought on as VPs of digital production ...

Ms. MacCurdy was the head of Warner Bros. Animation during its glory years (Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Tiny Toon Adventures ...), and Mr. Sarnoff was one of her right-hand guys.

It's good to see them reunited in this new endeavor. We'll see what comes of it.

Now if Sarnoff only had a creative brain.
