Three tiny fannish news flashes I heard over the weekend:

[brightknightie]

• Amazon abruptly canceled its in-development new Stargate series, saying it aimed too much at fans, too little at general audiences. Read about it on Variety.


• The rumor that Disney has acquired the US rights to the entire Pokémon cartoon/anime catalogue, including an unannounced '27 project, remains unverified, with no announcements from either Disney or The Pokémon Company (Nintendo + Game Freak + Creatures), and no mainstream press reporting. Read the community discussion on Bulbagarden.


• A new Moomin video game will come to Switch 2 and Steam later this year: Moomin: Midsummer Madness, a point-and-click storybook by Crossbridge/Shochiku. (It's unlike the open-world adventures Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley and Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth by Hyper Games/Raw Fury that I very much enjoyed earlier this year, and would have been glad to see another in that line.) Read about it on the official Moomin blog.

Oh I'm a little bummed to hear about the Stargate thing, I was very curious about how that was going to be. It sounded intriguing.

Oh well. Maybe I can hope somebody else will pick it up down the line.
