    I don’t think this is “mildly” interesting, it’s pretty darn interesting!

    Am I the only one that while looking at those pictures it screams make it a museum and clearly you’ll make a profit? Even if it were in red numbers at the end?

    No license fees, most content could be reruns of shows that they did while explaining how it was made in those rooms, no rent money and on top of that the generation that grew up with that content are the ones that have jobs right now and clearly they would pay for the tour that won’t need many employees since it’s probably a medium size building?

      Yeah that hallway from two decades of animators honestly has historical value. Lost opportunity.

    I wasn’t gonna cry until I saw the drawings on the walls - that’s a piece of animation history right there, and something you just can’t recreate in a new space. If you framed some of that sheet rock and saved it for a generation or two, the cash from the collectors auction you’d get for it would probably pay enough to bring back Space Ghost.

      They mention the CN staff were moving to the WB lot, so it’s just the building.

      That said, this building was their home away from home for 20 years.

      Like, imagine your new to the studio and you walk in for the first time and see 20 years of art created by your predecessors.

      Imagine how inspiring that must feel, and how that feeling would evolve as your tenure grew, until it becomes a part of you.

      That’s just part of what the team is losing because Discovery wants to consolidate.

        Oh believe me, I don’t need to imagine. I worked for the art/design studio that got bought out by a tech giant. Experienced the feeling first hand :(

        The title was confusing and I was about to lose my shit about CN going away for good.
