Zia Sands - Warner Bros. Discovery..

Q - There has been some major changes at Warner Bros. Discovery after the merger of two huge media giants- with Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Adult Swim and all WBD's animated channels now being merged into one WBD Animation department. How has the transition gone?


Q - In an ever changing market place, and with viewing habits changing all the time, what are you looking in terms of new IP for the UK market?


Q - The other major media giants have all now started their own streaming platforms, do we expect a UK launch of HBO's max anytime soon?



Q - Rick and Morty has been a global powerhouse for WBD - do we expect more in the way of commissioning for these types of show and should the UK be doing more?


Thank you Zia - to learn more about Warner Bros. Discovery visit their website www.WBD.com

Get Retailing...

Every animator wants to inspire devotion in their audiences and to create characters that have a lasting impact.  To make that little short that grows and grows to become a series, a movie, a theatre show, a toy range and a treasured memory that transcends generations - Richard Hollis

Get Financing...

There is no shortage of talent in the UK and we are world leaders in story, design and production - but the limiting factor is how many projects can actually get funded. - Andrew Baker
