Animation could be films or series, but right now it\u2019s early in the process \u2014 and no release dates have been targeted yet. The creators of the original Webtoon webcomics own the IP and, under their agreements with the company, will receive a share of revenue generated from the animation projects, said Yongsoo Kim, Webtoon Entertainment\u2019s chief strategy officer and head of global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur creators are building franchises that Gen Z audiences love, and working with Warner Bros. Animation gives us an incredible opportunity to take those stories further alongside one of the most respected names in animation,\u201d said Kim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Webtoon Entertainment adaptations are available on Netflix, Amazon\u2019s Prime Video, Sony\u2019s Crunchyroll and other platforms. The company\u2019s\u00a0content partners include Disney, Discord, HYBE and DC Comics. Webtoon, a pioneer in the webcomic format, has about 155 million monthly active users globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warner Bros. Animation is home to animated characters from the DC, Hanna-Barbera, MGM and Looney Tunes libraries. WBA recently released original anime feature film \u201cThe Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim\u201d with New Line Cinema and \u201cThe Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie,\u201d released on March 14, 2025, with Ketchup Entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBringing together the world-class artistry of Warner Bros. Animation and the vibrant storytelling of Webtoon creates an awesome combination and opportunity to build something special,\u201d said Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sinbae Kim, chief growth officer of LINE Digital Frontier, leads Webtoon\u2019s global animation efforts and was involved in inking the Warner Bros.
