<redacted> I just had a thought after the Disney/Marvel thing. Jonas Brothers joins the X-Men!? I can't wait!!!

DarkRowan @<redacted> I'm all for Wolverine slicing the heads off the brothers. THAT would be awesomesauc
e!

I'm pretty sure the first one is said in sarcasm (its someone that casts on Justin.tv a lot, home of those little bastages)

I can see the upsides. As long as they keep the brands separate and don't plaster Disney on our R rated action, I'm all for it. Same the other way; don't make fucking G versions of marvel that suck hard. "Marvel Kids" *shudder*

"Disney will have something guys grew up with and can experience with their kids, especially their sons"
It remains to be seen how this relates to the Disney philosophy "to make people happy" and "All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them."

Sagemind says...

Wow, does that mean we can expect to see a whole new merchandise direction when we go to Disneyland?

They already control ABC Studios & ESPN,
Remember Disney also bought The Muppets, Club Penguin and Pixar.
They also have Power Rangers and Nightmare before Christmas.
Not to mention the theme park rights to both Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

That's just off the top of my head but I am sure there are more...

A bit more I just looked up:

Buena Vista International
Touchstone Pictures
Miramax Films
Hollywood Pictures
Dimension Films
DreamWorks
Hulu (27%)
BVS Entertainment - formerly Saban Entertainment (MapleTown, DragonBallZ, PowerRangers, Digimon, Beetleborgs & Much Much More http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saban_Entertainment)

37.5% Interest in
A&E
History Channel
Biography

So much more, I can't list them all... Go Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_Disney
