AP- Washington D.C., VA- Fans were shocked today when ******, a TV show about the stories of the struggles of three young ninjas as they go through their training, was abrupty pulled on the 23rd of March, reports The Washington Post.
Cartoon Network executive Michael Ouweleen said, "The reason was licensing issues, it turns out papers weren't in order. There are negotiations to bring back ****** but unless Studio Pierrot agrees to lower fees, it's not going to happen."
The reason for abruptness was a result of papers being filed in the early morning before but scheduling error and timezone differences resulted in no time to cleanly pull the show once the broadcast group learned of the cancellation.
Children television anaylist Tim Westcott said, "I believe that ****** won't be coming back to America. It seems like a done deal. Studio Pierrot is going to refuse to lower fees so the contract will be dropped by Cartoon Network."
The fan response to the cancellation was very fast and dramatic. Many fans are petitioning Cartoon Network to change their minds about making Studio Pierrot to lower costs. One fan has written on a message board that he is to be sent to Bel-Air to live with his aunt and uncle after he got into a little fight and his mom got scared.
