What if NBCUniversal bought Aardman Animations

Remember Aardman, which made Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of The Were-Rabbit, and Flushed Away (all co-produced with DreamWorks Animation)? They’re gonna make a sequel to Chicken Run, which DreamWorks will have no involvement as they ended their partnership with Aardman after the release of Flushed Away.

Actually, it would be nice for NBCUniversal to buy Aardman in its entirety. That would be a good idea.

NBCUniversal buying Aardman would give DreamWorks Animation the rights to Shaun the Sheep, Wallace & Gromit, and all Aardman library, except for Arthur Christmas and The Pirates: Band of Misfits, which were owned by Sony Pictures, but what if Universal Studios should own the international distribution rights to The Pirates: Band of Misfits and Arthur Christmas with Sony handling the domestic rights for the films. If NBCUniversal bought Aardman as a sister Studio to Illumination Entertainment and DreamWorks Animation, then Aardman should reunite with DreamWorks Animation to make more movies, and Chicken Run 2 should be co-produced with DreamWorks Animation.
