After it was announced 2 weeks ago that Hasbro had bought out Tv Loonland's media licenses comes a story from Tvshowsondvd.com clarifying some more details of the deal.

According to the article, not only has Hasbro reacquired all the rights to all classic Sunbow produced productions. But they now have all the DVD release rights to release and distribute the newly acquired shows on the North American Continent:

Hasbro has reacquired the worldwide distribution rights to everything, including the rights to release the shows on DVD in the U.S. and Canada. The reacquisition is a result of two transactions. The first transaction is with TV-Loonland, and the second is with Sony BMG Music Entertainment, who had held a distribution license from TV-Loonland for the North American home video/DVD rights. TV-Loonland held the rights as a result of contracts that were executed a long time ago. Rhino was a sublicense of Sony BMG.

However no plans for DVD releases for any of the newly acquired licenses have yet been released.
