Only because Universal — or rather Comcast — still has an interest in a third share of Hulu. Once Disney buys them out and/or the license runs out, they’ll be forever more on Comcast's Peacock service. :)

Neat interview snippet; basically the closest JK will ever come to admitting that DreamWorks Animation should not have gone public (even though he kind of steps back from it a minute later).*

Is he not speaking more about his Quibi experience…? :)

I guess, but his description of the problems he experienced sounded so much like what happened with DWA that I assumed, whether it was intentional or not, that he was really talking about DreamWorks Animation.

Like I said above, still wish they’d stuck with parent DreamWorks. Besides the other advantages, I think Spielberg provided a good extra voice/opinion on the animated films. (IE: Prince of Egypt and Shrek.)
