Suggested by tomzillawash3r3
In a world where cartoons and movies live among humans, two mega-billion dollar companies reign supreme in the world of entertainment, Disney and Warner Bros. Once creators of joy and imagination, these corporations have become massive, monopolizing titans that now drain creativity to fuel the corporate needs. Mickey Mouse is attacked by his haters since he’s Disney’s company mascot and Bugs Bunny feels underused as his animated projects were all cancelled by WB. The two icons decide to cross the bridge between companies and bring the magic back! Meanwhile, two successful CEOs of both companies are revealed to be far more complicated than ruthless businessmen. They entered the industry because of their shared love of cartoons and movies and have struggled to make everyone happy but by following demands by the system they ended up causing more problems for the audience. An alliance is formed not to destroy the studios they helped build, but to remind them why audiences fell in love with cartoons and movies in the first place.
