What if DreamWorks remained independent?

We all know DreamWorks wen't through a lot of partnerships and eventually landed at NBCUniversal. But what would happen if DreamWorks remained independent?

Here's what I think would possibly happen.

List of Changes

 * The Live-Action and Animation divisions stayed under one company, rather than being separate companies, with the name being DreamWorks Corporation. DreamWorks would also be founded in 1965, rather than 1994.
 * DreamWorks Television was never folded into Amblin Television.
 * Speaking of which, DreamWorks would own the Universal share of Amblin Partners.
 * PDI never shuts down, though, it would be rebranded as DWA Glendale.
 * Go Fish Pictures would still exist, although it would focus purely on anime and not live-action.
 * DreamWorks would own the US rights to Dragon Ball instead of Fox.
 * DreamWorks would make more adult-animated movies as well as 2D animated direct-to-video movies.
 * DreamWorks would buy Aardman in 2006 because Flushed Away wasn't a bomb in this AU.
 * DreamWorks would distribute post-2006 Aardman related projects.
 * DreamWorks would have their own answer to Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, named BlueBox.
 * Neighbors from Hell and Father of the Pride would air on BlueBox's night block, DarkBox instead of TBS and NBC.
 * Father of the Pride would be the Simpsons of DarkBox, while Neighbors from Hell would be the Family Guy of DarkBox.
 * Neighbors from Hell also wouldn't be produced by Fox, but will air syndicated on TBS and Adult Swim.
 * The show would be animated by Rough Draft Studios instead of Bento Box Entertainment.
 * Father of the Pride would be created by Matt Groening and Jeffery Katenzberg.
 * The show would be animated by PDI instead of Imagi Animation Studios.
 * DreamWorks would own Qubo instead of Ion Media.
 * Qubo would become America's Teletoon, airing programming from Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network as well as programming from its real-life counterpart.
 * DreamWorks would also own The Hub instead of Hasbro and still being owned by Discovery, although, The Hub would be America's YTV.


 * Netflix's Veggietales wouldn't exist.
 * Hasbro Studios/Allspark Pictures would be joint-owned by DreamWorks and Hasbro, Inc.
 * The G.I. Joe/Transformers film series as well as the My Little Pony and Transformers animated series would be produced by DreamWorks Pictures and DreamWorks Animation Television respectively, with Transformers and G.I Joe being co-produced with Amblin.
 * eOne wouldn't be bought by Hasbro, but instead DreamWorks and would be like a New Line Cinema-type sister studio to DreamWorks.
 * The eOne Kids and Family brands that are animated would be absorbed into DreamWorks Animation.


 * DreamWorks would buy HiT Entertainment and would merge it with Classic Media, with the HiT Entertainment name being kept.
 * Any future HiT projects from 2010-present would be distributed by DreamWorks Television.
