What if Walter Lantz Productions didn't close down in 1972

Yeah. This is an AU idea where Walter Lantz Productions (who created Woody Woodpecker and Chilly Willy) didn't closed its doors and continued releasing cartoons before 1972. (PS: This is the first theory idea of the author of this AU and he was bored on the day, so don't be surprised if you think this idea is nonsense or if you found the shorts ideas\titles dumb. Help me editing this article whenever you found a error!)

History
Once Lantz reopened his cartoon studio, and re-signed his contract with Universal, the studio continued making cartoons with its biggest Woodpecker star and other important characters. This manages the studio to live long during the Golden age of animation until the Dark Era, thanks to the sucess of The Woody Woodpecker Show. 1972 comes with a true feeling the studio would be cancelled, as many others like Warners, MGM and Paramount ceased with the theatrical shorts in the late 60's and only his and the De-Patie Freleng studio was still making cartoons to theaters. Lantz unlike many others, have theatrical shorts first in mind, and TV after that, so carring on with shorts production shall be no problem. 1973 started weakly for the studio, as there was no Chilly Willy cartoons that year, so only 6 shorts were produced between January and May of that year. The studio only resumed cartoons 3 months later, after the sucess of the 1973 film American Graffiti, which they milked the payroll of the money the film gathered. This helped the studio to carry on with the cartoons production for almost 4 years.

General
Some major differences from cartoons of this era, are the Universal logo at the start, which now have the MCA byline, like the movie version. The openings of the shorts were also once again modified. The studio crew retained mostly the same until the August return, where only music composer Walter Greene, animator Al Coe, voice actors Grace Stafford, Dallas Mckennon and Daws Butler and storywriter Cal Howard stayed. Animators veterans of the studio Les Kline, LaVerne Harding, new Ted Bonnicksen and veteran voice actor Mel Blanc joined the studio until it's ultimate close in 1977.
