Who Should get the animation rights after 4Kids ?

[Roseangelo]

The variable none of you are considering is that 4Kids is not just the home of the TMNT cartoon, but they are also Mirage's licensing partner. They play the same role as Surge Licensing used to. They can't just cut ties with 4Kids because they don't like the cartoons they're making. They would have to be willing to sever ALL ties to 4Kids, and so long as licensing interest is strong enough to justify keeping that going, it's not going to happen anytime soon.
