Well, I be darned. Warner Bros. Animation finally gets a woman with experience, not a guy (Sander Schwartz) who can only make Direct to DVD movies, and NOT put its older shows on cousin/sister network Cartoon Network nor Boomerang (Animaniacs, Freakazoid!, Tiny Toons, and other Kids WB! produced shows). With the closing of Warner Bros. Animation Studios, you think they wouldn't a woman to do a man's job, but they did. I always liked WBA when Jean and Tom was around back when the Soccer Moms didn't really care about what the kids were wacthing. I have faith in Lisa and wish WB to make some more WB produced animated shows, heck maybe a Harry Potter series, or a Looney Tunes series or feature film.


Don't forget, she was one of the people who made the first non-Disney movie "The Rugrats Movie", with Nick, who she worked for for nine years.

I'm done!
 
Well, let's hope that she can produce something better for WB than The Rugrats Movie. That sucked, IMO. But then I hate all things Rugrats, so...

I don't know if this changing of the guard is going to change anything dramatically, but Lisa Judson couldn't possibly be a worse executive producer than Sander Shwartz was. If Ms. Judson could just end Johnny Test, then I'd be happy.
 
"A man's job"?! :confused: Wasn't aware being a corporate exec was a gender-specific job...



The first non-Disney animated movie certainly wasn't the "Rugrats" movie by a long shot...

All in all, I do hope this marks an improvement for animation within the Time-Warner hierarchy, even if it seems her main experience comes from being in marketing more than animation...


-B.
 
Oops, I forgot to post "The FIRST NON Disney movie to make $100 MILLION dollars" Sorry.


Well, a man nowadays tends to screw up time from time at WBA, but with the help of a strong woman, other companies can use women to lead things instead of being a ad sales person.


And the last statement, I hope so too....The Biggest Cartoon Library in the world....TW must be glad about owning all that.

And sometimes a person can do more than just marketing, just ask Fred Seibert, he had no idea how to make cartoons until he became president of Hanna Barbera Cartoons, which spawned What A Cartoon!
