Actually, there's a Green Eggs and Ham adaptation in development for Netflix that's got an estimated $4-5 million per episode budget. It's coming out in 2018.

How is that going to be multiple episodes? It was barely a half-hour special the first time and they had to stretch it out. Do you devote an entire episode to finding out if he would eat them in the rain?

Netflix speculates that a substantial part of the budget came from buying the international licensing rights up front.

Yeah from what I understand ever since the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat movie whoever holds the rights to all the Seuss stuff has been real picky about licensing

On Easter, when the family was all over the house(which is just my parents and four siblings) and we were trying to think of something to do/watch together, I suggested Ducktales since I've never seen it and it might be fun.I was shot down hard by absolutely everyone.

As of 2009 a single episode of Family Guy cost roughly $2,000,000.00 to make.
It's certainly increased since then.

Music licensing, voice actors, and because they include so many individually drawn background characters which inflates budgets.
None of that actually goes to the quality of the show itself.
