MGM Re-enters the Animation World with ‘Punk Farm’
wordandfilm.com/2011/06/mgm- … punk-farm/

All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 (theatrical release, 1996)
Babes In Toyland (direct-to-video, 1997)
An All Dogs Christmas Carol (direct-to-video, 1998)
The Secret of NIMH 2 (direct-to-video, 1998)
Tom Sawyer (direct-to-video, 2000)
…but the presence of David Silverman (The Simpsons Movie, Monsters, Inc.) might bode well. Also, Prana Animation Studios did well enough with Disney’s TinkerBell series to warrant some optimism. Maybe a whole new chapter for MGM?
