What if Nelvana Limited was founded in 1942?

If for those of you who are familiar nothing about Nelvana, it's an animation studio in Canada which known for producing children's animated television shows, since its founding in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive A. Smith

But in this alternate reality idea where Nelvana was founded in 1942.

List of changes

 * Nelvana Limited would have been originally known as Valentina Brothers Pictures (1942-1958), then Neptune/Violet Studios (1958-1964), then N.E.L.V.A.N.A. Studios (1964-1971), and then Nelvana Limited (1971-present).
 * Nelvana Limited would have its original founders named Neptune Landon Valentina, Violet Lucy Valentina and Arthur Line Valentina (not real people, just made up).
 * Nelvana Limited would've have its own animated cartoon series named Northtoons, which would be the similar concept as Walt Disney cartoons, MGM cartoons, Walter Lantz cartoons and Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies.
 * Nelvana Limited would have started as a film production studio before starting an animation studio in 1945.
 * Nelvana Limited would've known as the first successful non-American animation studio.
 * YTV would have been an American cable TV channel launched in 1982 before being a Canadian TV channel in 1988 in Canada.
 * Teletoon would have been an American cable TV channel launched in 1993 before being a Canadian TV channel in 1997 in Canada.
 * Mr. Young would have been released in 1970 as an animated show rather than being released in 2010 as a live-action sitcom.
 * Showcase would have been launched in the United States in 1992 before being launched in Canada in 1995.
 * Birdz would have been released in 1978 rather than being released in 1998
 * Life with Boys would have been released in 1988 as a family sitcom rather than 2011 as a teen sitcom.
 * Nelvana is a company known for its productions for children and families, but in an AU version would also known for producing projects for mature audience.
