I've got my hands on prospectus!

New Mainframe items: They have a third TV series in production called "Closing Time" and its 2D/3D.

Beast Wars season 2 is on as is ReBoot Season 3. They've really spiffed up ReBoot 3 now that US TV censors aren't in the picture. Looks really great.

MOVIE WITH PAUL ALLEN'S (CO-FOUNDER OF MICROSOFT) ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, STORYOPOLIS.
They've bagged a JV movie deal with Storyopolis (who I believe is backed by Warner Brothers too) to make a movie out of the Graeme Base book, Sign of the Seahorse. COULD BE HUGE.

IMAX ridefiles in prospectus, EA games, 2 other movies and 4 other TV shows in the planning/contemplation stage.

LOOKS GREAT! I hope I can get my hands on a little of this.
Looks like the accounting has been very conservative too. They've basically already paid for much of the equipment and software and written it off against Beast Wars and ReBoot episodes so anything new will have higher profit margins. They actually earned a small sum in 97 on revenues of $20mil. Imagine if they book a movie or a few more shows, it will drop to bottom line.
