DHX Media putting itself for sale.

I would imagine it can go a different number of ways. Personally, I'm thinking it won't affect MLP in itself. Anyone remember Studio B? IIRC they were the company animating MLP before it was acquired by DHX and MLP wasn't affected...as far as I can tell anyway. I would think the same will likely apply here.

It's odd thought: a year agp DHX bought the rights flr Strawberry Shortcake and The Peanuts. I find odd that now they are in financial problems to the point they are selling themself after having bought the rights for two franchises (especially since one The Peanuts!).... that that purchase ended up backfiring on them?

I expect nothing to really come out of this in terms of impact on pony. This is a potential sale, not closing up shop, with the potential for mergers or even a cash infusion from investors or other sources. It isn't good mind you, just isn't all that worrisome for pony either at the moment.

Surprising news given how huge DHX is. But their purchases of various companies and brands over the years were quite risky to be honest. Sad to see it happen anyway.

DHX had already bought Studio B in 2007. The name was used until the second season of MLP when they started using the generic DHX Media logo.

I wouldn't be surprised if the show was taken over by Boulder Media at some point. They are actually owned by Hasbro and have already animated many of the Equestria Girls shorts and the Happy Birthday clip for Netflix. Their MLP work looks indistinguishable from DHX's. They also did many episodes of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (again with the same quality as the episodes done in-house) so they have experience of producing long-form TV cartoons.

I guess it depends on the company which will buy DHX.

I want to buy it! How much do I need?

Uhh probably something like 500 million to 4 billion dollars. Plus you would have to already have your own massive animation company yourself so you can expand on yourself through the purchase! :)
