[David G]

OMG!!

Disney buy Marvel?!

Will there be a Goofy vs Spiderman Ltd edition mini-series comic?

Team Disney vs The X-men film?

This could be potentially disastarous!

I'm picturing Xavier and Magneto bursting into song at the end of the next X-Men film!!!

Nooooooooo!!!

[Wookiesmurf]

If this means that there'll be Marvel characters in the next Kingdom Hearts game, then I'm all for it.

Good one.

But seriously is the bying final or are they still in discussion?
If it is so i think the super hero and super villains syndicates will quit Marvel.

Disney put out Pulp Fiction. I think they can handle the integrity of the Rhino.

I seriously despised Disney a few years back. It was always about those musical numbers in the middle of the cartoons. In fact for a time there were no musicals anymore except in Disney films. Not that I have a problem with musicals, I'm in touch with my feminine side, I've seen Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, but you can't subsume one part of film - animation with another - musical. There needs to be animation, there needs to be musicals and you can have animation musicals. Disney just seemed to want the latter.

What also annoyed me was I didn't want to see Lion King 4 or Robin Hood 6 because that's just scraping the barrel. However, the Black Cauldron was 1 part of of the 5 part Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. No cash quick low rent sequels, real stories that could have been adapted but didn't. I recall internal politics killed Black Cauldron dead.

Saying all that John Lassetter - Pixar supremo and now Disney mastermind is very much behind this Marvel buyout. When you consider he was producing animation that didn't need a song and dance routine throughout, the sort of animation that wins Oscars, any concerns should be a little eased.

Wow there's some really cool ones there, though I find their 'vanity' signature's all a little sickly. So I vote the beauty and the beast one my favorite because it's just not that polished.

Funny pics.:D
I vote for Goofactus (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturepicturegalleries/6122401/Marvel-Disney-mashups-how-the-merger-will-affect-the-characters-you-love.html?image=4).

They did actually buy it.
Of course, DC is already owned by warner brothers, so it's not uncommon I suppose.

If nothing else, the next kingdom hearts should have some cool additional characters.
