Why Cinar is worth more than MFE?
It doesn't matter how the Animation is done as long as its done
well and cheap. 17 TV series and 2 films and about 16M shares outstanding, about the same as MFE . $52/19 = $2.70 / feature.
3(Reboot, beasties, War Planets) * $2.70 = $8.10 hmmm
Cinar must have a much larger Library of original ideas.
Testing $7, MFE is Cow Dung. It can't increase production since it cost more money for Equipment. MFE can't make money without producing more CGI without more equipment. MFE should give up on SGI and
go with cheaper Pentiums.
I think the MFE guys all bought SGI shares and got Totally Roasted and are selling their MFE shares to recoup their losses so they can go to Whistler and breath the second hand smoke. You can't be a World
Class CGI Animator that way... Judging buy the new shows produced to
date, A Reboot Musical, what do you guys do watch Xena the Warrior Princess and copy their ideas.
