So I was trying to watch the Final Decision (conclusion of DOFP animated) on YT and Disney blocked it.

 

I was under the impression that Fox had the rights to their cartoons that they made. DOFP 1&2 aren't blocked by Disney. But no matter where I search, The Final Decision is blocked. Did they divide up ownership of those cartoons or something?

 

The 90's X-Men cartoon was owned by Fox. However, sometime in 2001 Disney made a deal with Fox. Fox used to own a cable station called Fox Family Channel. Disney bought Fox Family Channel, all of the Marvel cartoons that Fox owned, and the Power Rangers. Later on, Disney would sell ownership of the Power Rangers to Haim Saban.

 

Fox actually owned almost all of the old Marvel cartoons that Marvel used to make back in the day (the exception is the Hanna-Barbara made Fantastic Four cartoon). The old Marvel cartoons were sold off by New World Communications, which owned Marvel at the time. New World was trying to raise money, so they sold off their Marvel cartoon library, which ended up in the hands of Fox.

 

In 2001, Disney bought all of the Marvel cartoons that Fox owned, which included all the old Marvel cartoons and the ones that Fox made like X-Men.  At the end of 2009, Disney bought Marvel. This reunited Marvel with their old cartoons. So it was a happy Disney ending after all.

 

The reason that some X-Men cartoons may be found online is because Disney hasn't blocked them. However, Disney does own them completely and they could legally block them at any time.

No, no. I very much doubt that.

Could very well happen, if somehow Smaug overperforms. But no way it does less than 50% with TH:TDOS around the corner to rip of some Imax screens and the other small competitors.

In case anyone reads this and wonder what some of these old Marvel cartoons that I'm talking about are. Here is an example of one of them:

And yes, Disney can legally block this at any time.
