If they do it right. It could be well done.
1.) On Site Plot
2.) Release an animated series based on Plot
3.) Create neopets lore?
4.) Release Merchandise
5.) Incorporate more money into site + staff to create more content.

I soooo desperately want this to be done right, but there's a 99% chance this is a flash "animated" nightmare that tries waaaay too hard to be funny/zany to appeal to kids. I'm getting flashbacks of the awful PPG remake tbh.

I only have one thing to say...
If the animation team is going for a style of any from their animation team's project reel, and the JS rep isn't bullshitting about introducing older characters to appeal to loyal players and new kids, I could see them making a rather good short series about Sloth. He seems just the right amount of weird and funny for both sides for it to be an actual ok match and a good introduction to the "weirdness" of Neopia. And if they rebooted the TCG alongside it...
I'm keeping hopes are down LOW so I know this will never happen, so I can be pleasantly surprised if it's below average or better. But still... I can't help but want at least ONE thing to go ok for TNT, even if they are dumb as rocks.
Neopets' story is decades old at this point. The site has enough story, characters and worlds to build something really interesting off of, and that's without including everything in it. You would need to be an unprecedented level of incompetent to screw this cartoon up.
If colorful horses literally designed to sell toys can generate a pop culture fandom then Neopets should be able to kickstart a first-world nation.

Should being the keyword, but judging from the other projects that the studio has produced, and how Jumpstart has been handling neopets in general since they've bought it, I can see it being a low-budget, shittily-animated, poorly-written joke.
As Hellboy mentioned, like modern PPG - but with even worse flash. Or like one of those millions of weird Indian youtube kid's cartoons with Daddy Finger playing over it. That's how little faith I have in this.
Like others said above, this may be 10 years late. The fanbase has declined greatly, and thus the funds for such a project are low.

I think the animated series is going to be a huge fail.
I'm still here to buy plushies tho.
