Default Dreamworks now owns Classic Media library

Dreamworks Animation has ponied up $155 million for the Classic Media library of cartoon stars. Classic Media had owned and distributed the Jay Ward library (Rocky & Bullwinkle, George Of The Jungle), Total Television (Underdog, Tennessee Tuxedo), Harvey (Casper The Friendly Ghost, Little Audrey, Herman & Katnip), UPA (Mr. Magoo, Dick Tracy), along with The Lone Ranger, Felix The Cat, Roger Ramjet, Archie, and Rankin-Bass' holiday specials (Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer).

Related note: Ginny Tyler, who was a Mousketeer in the syndicated repackaging of the original Mickey Mouse Club and the voice of Casper the Friendly Ghost in 1963 (The New Casper Cartoon Show), died at a nursing home in Washington state. She was 86.
