No.Was Liam Neeson still Aslan in that and if not is the actor just as good
Ok then at least we kept him thereNo.
Liam didn't voice Aslan until the Walden Media live action remake of Wardrobe came out in 2005.
I do hope we get some changes in the list. I mean, over half a decade has changed since.
Having Joey D'Auria still on board as of now is a nice passing of the torch, but having Jim Davis head an entire comics label is a giant leap up from his Garfield days of yore.
And calling it Unicorn, which would be the polar opposite of the Dark Horse name? It got a chuckle out of me, as well as 20% of my wallet.
So, who's the new Chairman of Henson? Just curious.
Could one of Walt Jr.'s children or grandchildren become the new chairperson later on?
Oh, I see. Maybe this can be one of their future projects?Unicorn is basically a rebrand of Paws, Inc. While Jim still draws the Garfield newspaper strip from his Indiana offices, some of the people who help him with the licensing and business side of Garfield are part of the Unicorn team.
I'll take either of the Hensons up on that offer.Bob Iger is still chairman, but it is likely that either Brian or Lisa Henson take over as Iger turns his attention to sports. Iger bought WCW and the Goodwill Games from Turner Broadcasting, but is still looking to expand his portfolio. Earlier this year, Iger attempted to buy Peter Guber's half of the WLAF's Barcelona Dragons. Guber wound up selling to a local buyer named Marco Fuste.
Okay.As of March 2008, Iger is in talks to acquire the NFL's Denver Broncos from Pat Bowlen.
Cool.The one who could take over at Disney next is Tiffany. Trey has forged his own path in the sportswear industry as founder of TR3Y, now the parent company of clothing brand No Fear.
When Red Dwarf returns. Can we see the earth by series 9
Nope. Not at all.Please tell me this guy isn't related to one Frederick Bean Avery...
Bring it in 2010.Sure. I just need what year to air it on UPN in the States.
Oof...NHL Headquarters

Colin Campbell
NHL Director of Player Safety
"George, you've been suspended twice the last two years. Every suspension was always because you've had a run-in with Sean Avery [1]. What happened this time?"
George Parros
Right Wing; Mighty Ducks of San Diego
"Sean made some extremely lewd and perverted comments about Tiffany and Joyce. So I clocked him."
Campbell
(takes a deep breath)
"Well in that case, I'll let you off with a $5,000 fine. Thanks for stopping by."
[1] As of March 2008 ITTL, Avery has already been cut from the Twisters, Kings and Sabres before landing with the Silver Knights in January of this season.
Yeah, has Bobobo done well yet?Any questions, comments, etc before we get to April 2008?
Yes. Bobobo has done pretty good in salvaging ABC’s SatAm ratings after Jimmy’s Head went down the toilet.Yeah, has Bobobo done well yet?
More likely to happen is that only the richest oligarchs will consolidate all of Russia’s animation studios under the Soyuzmultfilm banner.Oldnavy like the like the idea of valdimir putian backing the construiston of home grown theme park in russia. Russian flim studios such as Mos Film Gorky Studios and Soyzumutlafim aniamtion would provide a wealth of ips. If the project get greenlit should it either be well excuted world class project or should the project be over amibuitus distaster that that pan by the critics for attmepting ripping off the best park of the world only on a larger gaudyier scale. IF the we go will the distier route the park should only be half built at most on opening day. I am kinda leaning toards the dister angle
Yeah!Yes. Bobobo has done pretty good in salvaging ABC’s SatAm ratings after Jimmy’s Head went down the toilet.
Er..........More likely to happen is that only the richest oligarchs will consolidate all of Russia’s animation studios under the Soyuzmultfilm banner.
I still like the idea of a russian theme park that use russain unlike otl dreamland that lincessed forign ips like hotel transvania hello kitty tmnt and the smurfs. It seam that hollywood is more hostile to russia then otl So the only way that russia would a theme park is if they used there own ips. I don't if the park should be succes or a dumpster fireYes. Bobobo has done pretty good in salvaging ABC’s SatAm ratings after Jimmy’s Head went down the toilet.
