Facts well known to this site, but glad to see they continue to generate press coverage and interest. The TV side is a good business, and one they've been able to really exploit where no one else could. It has provided some pretty spectacular growth for them over the last few years. If they can continue to ink a few shows a year it's good, simple growth on which to build characters for spin-offs, M&L, games, training for animators and more recognition from different producers and media types. It also builds the library up, which is valuable for animation given the "evergreen" nature of the programming.

Their success in the TV side --where cost control and demanding production are hardest -- is what will ultimately land them at least one very high quality movie deal sometime. Don't forget --they are not working with slouches --the studio they have publicly mentioned is Storyopolis/Warner Bros. Not bad. I'd bet all the studios know them by now though and are aware of their production efficiency and creativity. I haven't read the Sun article, but like we've all said before, the big bucks will be in a movie or two (if they are half-way decent scripts) and we'll just have to be patient --we know they're working on at least one they've told us about.

That's what's nice, ones not paying much for the upside at $9-10 bucks. A movie will catapult them into big time revenues/income & recognition. No matter what the size of the deal, it ought to get the share closer to $20 than 10!
