After one of the biggest bag fumbles in history where they underestimated the commercial potential of an animated film inspired by Asian culture, Sony proves they learned absolutely nothing and doubles down by scrapping the next film all together.

Sony, the company that sold 'KPop Demon Hunters' for a song, has scrapped a Thai folklore-inspired feature from 'Amphibia' creator Matt Braly and 'Steven Universe' creator Rebecca Sugar two years into development, calling it “not commercial enough.” www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film...

I hope they call Netflix; if I were them, I'd definitely be interested in seeing how many other cultures we could pull in. I did watch "The Uncanny Counter" there just before the second season came out. After "Squid Games" there started to be a LOT of Korean content on there!

Sony would almost certainly own all the IP so that creators can't go to them directly, but if Netflix is smart, they'll see everyone talking about it and call up Sony to say "HEY! IDIOTS! We'll buy this from you???? Call the creative team back and beg????"
