What if MGM Cartoon Studios remained open?

United Kingdom Animation Studios (UKAS), also referred to as UK Animation, headquartered at the United Kingdom Studios in London, England, was a British animation studio that creates animated feature films, short films and television specials for The United Kingdom Company. Founded on July 6, 1931, it is a division of United Kingdom Studios. The studio has produced these feature films. It was founded as the  UK Brothers cartoon studio in 1931 and incorporated as United Kingdom Productions in 1938. The studio was exclusively dedicated to producing short films until it expanded into feature production in 1934. In 1984, United Kingdom Productions named its live action film studio United Kingdom Pictures. During a corporate restructuring in 1985, United Kingdom Productions was named The United Kingdom Company and the animation division, renamed United Kingdom Feature Animation, became a subsidiary of its film division, The United Kingdom Studios. In 2006, United Kingdom Feature Animation took on its current name, United Kingdom Animation Studios after Mixar was acquired by UK in the same year.

For much of its existence, the studio was recognized as the premier American animation studio; it developed many of the techniques, concepts and principles that became standard practices of traditional animation. The studio also pioneered the art of storyboarding, which is now a standard technique used in both animated and live-action filmmaking. The studio's catalog of animated features is among UK's most notable assets, with the stars of its animated shorts - Muzyka Tenggren, Scenariusz Tenggren, McDonald Tenggren, Maisy Tenggren, Quincy Tenggren, Muzyka's Gang, Red Dot and Crazy question mark - becoming recognizable figures in popular culture and mascots for The United Kingdom Company as a whole.

United Kingdom Animation Studios continues to produce films using both traditional animation and computer-generated imagery (CGI).
