### Conflict about Warner Bros. Animation

The executives of Netflix don't want to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation for that. In a way, people are disgusted by the anime-style series without using the Warner Bros. Animation logo in the opening and closing credits. One of them is complaining about the episodes without the Warner Bros. Animation logo. The anime-style series should have gone straight to the WBD-owned streaming service Max (formerly as HBO Max), but Netflix doesn't want to collaborate the series with Max (formerly as HBO Max). Due to not letting Warner Bros. Animation to be collaborated with the series without authorization. Netflix executives declined to add the Warner Bros. Animation logo in the opening and closing credits. For some unknown reason, the executives don't want to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation getting involved with the series without being authorized. The producers, writers, animators, storyboarders and directors of Warner Bros. Animation are not involved with the anime-style series.

Netflix executives did not authorize Warner Bros. Animation collaborate with the anime-style series. Executives at Netflix and Legendary Television wanted to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation for the anime-style series "Skull Island", but they wouldn't because Netflix and Legendary can't produce a series without Warner Bros. Animation's authorization. Warner Bros. Animation was unable to collaborate with "Skull Island" because Netflix did not agree with the studio. Netflix executives declined to credit Warner Bros. Animation and Sam Register for collaborating on the anime-style series.

The anime-style series was to be co-produced in association with Warner Bros. Animation, but Netflix doesn't want to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation because Netflix did not authorize. Netflix executives don't want to put Warner Bros. Animation in place by collaboration by Legendary and Powerhouse Animation. One person commented on social media about the anime-style series saying "why not the series be co-produced by Warner Bros. Animation?", and they said "no", so the producers, writers, directors and executives of Netflix doesn't want to collaborate the anime-style series with Warner Bros. Animation. All of the sources mentioned thus far do not include Warner Bros. Animation. The only mention of Warner Bros. is in a source stating that the live-action films were a collaboration between Legendary and Warner Bros. Pictures. Peopel always cites a reliable source that says Warner Bros. Animation was involved, by all means add that to the article. People cannot find a source stating this, it should not be added. If it becomes released and there is a Warner Bros. Animation logo in there then maybe at that point as well, but right now there is nothing to indicate that this is the case.

Sam Register, the executive producer of Warner Bros. Animation is not involved with the anime-style series for unknown reasons, in which case people who watch this anime-style series would be disgusted by the series without Warner Bros. Animation's collaboration. The anime-style series was to be co-produced in association with Warner Bros. Animation, but for an unknown reason, Netflix is not collaborating with Warner Bros. Animation at this point. Netflix and Legendary Television could not have produced the MonsterVerse anime-style series without Warner Bros. Animation's authorization.

At the time of writing, Netflix has not renewed Skull Island for a second season. This isn't surprising considering that the animated series only just landed on Netflix. The producers, writers, animators, storyboarders and directors from Netflix aren't collaborating with Warner Bros. Animation's crew for unknown reasons.
