PowerFilm

**PowerFilm LLC** was a company owned by Daniel Lawson.

## History

### Formation

**PowerFilm** was formed on April 4, 2017 after the predecessor went extinct on December 31, 2016 citing various issues. In February 2018, Mario's Town was established. In April 2018 (incorrectly dated August on the bankruptcy notice), the company was renamed to **TownDL** as a combination of Mario's Town and Daniel Lawson (YouTube channel). On May 13, 2018, the channel hit 500 subscribers. Exactly one month and a day later, the channel hit 550 subscribers. On June 23, 2018, the TownDL channel was hacked, displaying porn videos. The next day, the channel was recreated. Later that same day it was revealed that a user named 'Malcolm Monster79' was responsible for the hack. As a result of the hack, some Mario's Town episodes got permanently lost.

### Mario's Town Craze

On June 26, 2018, a Mario's Town Instagram was announced. The account has been abandoned since July 29, 2018. On July 11, 2018, a YouTube channel of the show was also made, however it was abandoned the very next day. On that same day, the Mario's Town site was created featuring videos from the YouTube channel. On July 13, 2020, the site was shut down due to Vidmy going out of business. On July 16, 2018, the Daniel Lawson channel had hit 600 subscribers. On July 25, 2018, a spinoff of Mario's Town was announced called 'Froggy's Questions'. The show would've been a Mr. Froggy spinoff series, which the idea had been previously explored. It was given the release of August 3rd, but the deadline has passed and has still not come out. Mr. Froggy would later come back after a 3 year absence on MSA.

### Dark Era

On September 1, 2018, TownDL had been renamed to DanielCo. On November 6, 2018, a Discord server based on DanielCo was created, however it is abandoned. On November 12, 2018, the last known piece of released Mario's Town material, a Mr. Froggy podcast had been released. On November 15, 2018, a new Mr. Froggy spinoff was announced, but never came out. On November 18, 2018, it was revealed that Daniel had stepped down from CEO. On November 27, 2018, it was revealed that DanielCo had been renamed to BigDanielCo, despite the actual name change happening on October 14th. The very next day, it was announced that BigDanielCo was going bankrupt. On January 31, 2019, the Daniel Lawson channel had shutdown. It would later be deleted on September 24, 2021. On March 4, 2019, the company changed it's name to Lawson. However on June 23, 2019, the company decided to take a new direction away from Mario's Town and the Daniel Lawson channel (as both products had been discontinued by this point). Instead, they decided to focus on PBSObserver. However, that was proven a big mistake when The PBS Nerd got criticism from every corner. In December 2019, Mario's Adventures was born. It was a shallow attempt to cash in on SML's fame.

### WWPS and Online Magic

The dark period for TownDL ended in July 2020, when they decided to instead focus on Online Magic. Eventually this would transform into WWPS, which launched in November 2020. In March 2021, to continue on the newfound success, TownDL introduced MSA, continuing on from Mario's Adventures. On October 30, 2021, TownDL rebranded to Lawson Productions, later just called Lawson. As part of this rebrand, Eugene was introduced to help boost WWPS Kids. On November 7, 2021, Lawson was verified by Google. On April 9, 2022, Lawson rebranded to Magiclab to represent Online Magic and it's overall goal to experiment. However, they later reverted back to PowerFilm.

### Blurapid

As the days went on, WWPS viewership declined. To combat this, WWPS would be rebranded into Blurapid. This rebrand was effective on May 2, 2022 at 5:00PM. The first program aired was an episode of El Chavo Animado. The channel would become increasingly popular for airing Wow Wow Wubbzy. This caused the show to be the unofficial mascot of the network. At the same time, there were plans to start Blurapid Merch and Blurapid Canada. It would eventually be revealed that one of the Season 3 creators, Bangity, was a pedophile, racist among other things. Due to this, and Ultriax's YouTube termination and reinstation, Blurapid was shutdown on May 31, 2022 at 11:06pm. The final program was Plainrock124.

### Watchflix and CineTV Kids

The next day, it was revealed that LouBlu08 would start a new Twitch channel. This would end up being Watchflix. CineTV Kids was created by PowerFilm as a block for the channel. Watchflix launched on June 6, 2022 at 11:50am UK time. On the same day, it was revealed that CineTV Kids would be spun off into it's own channel on an unknown date. On June 10, 2022, Watchflix would start spreading overseas with Watchflix US which launched on June 13, 2022 at 2:50pm. On the same day as Watchflix US' launch, the CineTV Kids block would be placed under permanent hiatus. It would eventually be replaced by Watchkids in July. After not even a week, Watchflix US was shutdown on June 19, 2022 following a last broadcast of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!. It was shutdown due to declining ratings.

### WWPS and Neroki

On June 17, 2022, the CineTV Kids channel was rebranded to WWPS after fans preferred it over CineTV Kids. The channel still has no launch date planned as of writing. However, on July 11, 2022, it was announced that PowerFilm would create a new network called Neroki, which launched on July 23, 2022 with the first show being Babar.
