Hello everyone, | |||
Thank you again for your amazing support and for posting your | |||
feelings here. Again, I'm very touched by all this and I hope we | |||
can make a difference! | |||
I was just told this morning that Cartoon Network is now | |||
apparently in negotiations to acquire the rights to Pokemon, and | |||
since the special just aired this past weekend, time is very much | |||
of the essence. If people could please forward what they've sent | |||
to PUSA, adding their reactions to the Mirage show as well - the | |||
negative reactions to the replaced elements--music, voices, | |||
sound mix quality, writing--that they've posted here and in other | |||
forums, it would get right to the people who make the key | |||
decisions. | |||
Thank you so much for your efforts. I'm sending my emails in as | |||
well. | |||
Cheers! | |||
Rachael | |||
