In the cartoon world, there are many "What Ifs".

What if...Adventure Time was acquired by Nickelodeon?
What if...Tex Avery returned to LT/MM after his suspension?
What if...Disney acquired the rights to Beatrix Potter Stories like Peter Rabbit?

I think if Disney got the rights to Peter Rabbit...when Peter lost his jacket...I'm sure they'll have him do this...

Any other cartoon "what ifs"? I'm sure there's plenty!

What if Penelope Pitstop finally found out Sylvester Sneakly was the Hooded Claw?

What if Donald Duck finally married Daisy?

What if the Fleischer Studios had nothing to do with Paramount?

What if Mickey Mouse stayed mischievous?

Just out of curiosity, are we allowed to answer any of these? Or must they remain unanswered queries forever?

You can have some questions of your own...I'm sure there's some that can be solved.

Okay, what if the Monstars had won the Ultimate Game in Space Jam? Who would be the new face of Warner Brothers Animation after Bugs Bunny is taken away?

What if Dick Dastardly actually won one of the Wacky Races stages? And it was recognized as a valid first place by the ruling body?

What if Hanna-Barbera had been named Barbera-Hanna? Not very earth-shattering,I know,just wondering how they decided to give Bill Hanna top billing.

Forgive me for answering, but this one simply tickles me too much. From A Cast Of Friends, written by Bill Hanna and Tom Ito, chapter seven, paragraph four:

"There was a brief discussion and no debate. Joe pulled out a half dollar from his pocket and flipped the coin. Heads: Barbera And Hanna, or tails: Hanna-Barbera. The coin spun and landed on the linoleum floor. It was tails."

Now for the question: what if the falling out between Max and Dave Fleischer never happened, allowing Fleischer Studios to remain intact, with its renewable contract with Paramount Pictures?

Someone can even answer them for you, example...

If the Fleischer Brothers didn't have a fall-through, Fleischer Studios would still work with Paramount and it'd be the 4th biggest cartoon studio. Disney of course is 1st, LT/MM would be 2nd, MGM would be 3rd.

What if, instead of Simon Bar Sinister himself crossing the street to press two key buttons in the Underdog story arc "Simon Says.. No Thanksgiving," some other fool came along and pressed these buttons? The net effect would be the same: the air raid siren would blare, sending everyone scurrying for home; then the other button would secure all the doors and windows in town, leaving the place easy pickings for Simon. And we know from YouTube videos that any Big Red Button left where the public can press it will get pressed.
