: I'm not sure, but Ocean girl stop production 'cause its main actors (Marzena, David...) have others engagement at the moment.
: I also think that Disney prefer make a cartoon of OG 5 than to wait that those actors can playing thier roles in OG 5, 'cause in this way OG will be known even in those countries where it's not known. For example, here in Italy OG has not much popularity: the channell "Italia1" showed OG 1 and 2 last summer, in the afternoon, but few people watched it; the same channel, from last autumn, re-showed season 1 and 2, after showed OG 3, and now is showing season 4. But at 6.00 a.m.!!!! I must record it, to be able to watch it in the afternoon.
: I'd prefer an OG 5 with actors than an OG 5 cartoon (despite I generally like cartoons); but it's better a cartoon with same characters than a series with new characters ('cause there would be new actors, and they wouldn't look like their predecessors as Liz Burch look like Kerry Armstrong).
: I hope that the story will not change in the cartoon (with the purpose to simplify it to neophytes), and that Italian translators and adjusters will not change characters' names, and will not cut some scenes, as they usually (and without reasons) do.
