Lord of the Rings and Osmosis Jones

[Jimmy Kustes]

Why hasn't CN aired WB's Osmosis Jones, and the animated Lord of the Rings movies? There are like 4 of those animated Lord of the Rings movies and they are all owned by WB.

Don't plan on CN airing everything that WB owns that's a cartoon. If you haven't realized, WB distributes their entertainment to numerous television companies.

Or was it planned? If it was, no offense. If it wasn't, no offense.

Actually, there are 3 animated Lord of The Rings movies:

Bakshi's Lord of The Rings which was very good.

The Hobbit which stunk.

and Return of The King which really stunk. It had a song in there which had no right to be in a Tolkien movie, the "Whip" song.

I could never sit through those animated movies, and they used to come on all the time when I was little. I hated the "Whip" song then, too. The music is kinda catchy, but that's about it.

Isn't Osmosis Jones like half live-action? Obviously CN has no problems with short live action scenes like in Family Guy or SG:CTC, but I doubt they'd air a movie with large live action scenes like that...

I'm in the UK so of course its a different kettle of fish but Osmosis Jones is currently on one of the main movie channels on a regular basis, CN UK shows various animated movies on its 'movie theatre' slot but as you say I'm not sure if they'd take OJ 'cos of the live action ... there again I belive they did show the Pagemaster many times, however one look at McCauley (no offence to his fans) is always enough to have me reaching for the remotes so I don't really know how much live action there is in there.

LOTR used to turn up on TCM from time to time but since the FOTR movie came out they seem to have mislaid it (also because I think it was conveniently re-released to line their coffers). i only saw The Hobbit once. Once was enough! :D
