Casper the Friendly Ghost, Richie Rich, Gumby, Rocky & Bulllwinkle, and even Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer are owned by Classic Media. DreamWorks, according to the International Business Times, is looking to acquire the company to bolster its less than successful stock this quarter. Classic Media already owns franchises that have built-in fans, ready made cartoons, and potential for new movies. While DreamWorks has been able to play with Disney Pixar, many of their popular franchises have waned and have not even matched the same success. Could these new-old titles be Katzenberg’s saving grace?
