Dreamworks buys Classic Media catalog of characters

http://geek-news.mtv.com/2012/07/23/dreamworks-animation-classic-media/

curious-- I wonder if/when these properties will get spun off into new animation movies and/or TV shows, looks like if they were handled properly they would hopefully do well.

(it may also need to be clarified whether Dreamworks actually owns certain characters overall or if they simply own the multi-media TV/Film/DVD rights... for example, obviously Mattel still owns the He-Man character.. but perhaps the Rankin-Bass properties were bought outright? Also i'm not sure if Harvey Entertainment is still technically an independent company..)
