The BBC has announced the next stage in the expansion of its Whoniverse, a pre-school animation version of its big-selling IP, which just wrapped second season under returned showrunner Russell T. Davies. (…)
Disney, which co-produces the Bad Wolf and BBC Studios-produced main version, will not be involved with the animation.
Why? Their contract was for two seasons of Doctor Who and one season of a spin-off, which is now completed.
No-way the BBC would give anyone brand rights. They’re the golden egg.
Oh, I didn’t think for a second that they were “given”.
