How large of an animation library does Universal have?

[mstrahle25]

You don't think about Universal when you think cartoons, but they do own a fairly large animation library:

-Walter Lantz cartoons (Woody, Chilly, Andy, Oswald...)
-Don Bluth films (An American Tail and The Land Before Time
-Amblimation (We're Back!, A Wish for Wings that Work Christmas special, Balto, Fievel Goes West, and An American Tail TV series)
-Direct to Video Productions (Monster Mash, the two Alvin and the Chipmunks monster movies, Hercules and Xena, Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, Casper's Haunted Christmas, Adventures of Brer Rabbit, the two Balto sequels, two American Tails and soon to be 12 Land Before Time sequels)
-Original TV Series (New Woody Woodpecker Show, Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper, Wing Commander Academy, Mummy: The Series, Problem Child animated series, Beethoven animated series, Monster Force, Earthworm Jim, Family Dog, Vortech: Undercover Commission Squad, Savage Dragon, the Land Before Time series, Back to the Future series and the Curious George series)
-Other Theatrical Features (Pinocchio in Space, Curious George and the upcoming Pirates who Don't do Anything and Tale of Desperaux; along with the animated short "Fractured Fairy Tales: The Phox, Lox, and Box" released with Dudley Do-Right)
-Acquired Television series (Sitting Ducks, Maisy)
-Other Direct to Video Properties (Pollyworld and some Barbie movies)
-They've also released X-Men: The Animated Series, Butt Ugly Martians, Santa vs. the Snowman, and Dr. Suess animations on DVD; they may not have any ownership in any

What else do they own and which of them are worth watching?

They have Exo-Squad, and refuse to release it on DVD.

Popular legend has it they own the home video rights to the first two seasons of ReBoot, but I have no idea whether that's true or true anymore...

They don't own Oswald The Lucky Rabbit anymore, but WB has the biggest toon library and Disney is second.

Universal needs to start releasing some of their series to DVD. They'd make a mint with Earthworm Jim and Back to the Future if promoted right, and 'Fievel's American Tails' would grab a lot of the younger kids like the 'Land Before Time' releases.

The bulk of their animated series could be released in simple one volume releases since a lot of their shows were short lived. I think Exo-Squad would probably be the only one that would require more than one volume.
