wtf? I can't even imagine how that's gonna be.

I suppose I'm...tentatively curious? That's the best way I could describe my outlook on this whole arrangement, anyway. It'll be interesting(and potentially scary) to see the changes this will bring about.

I would guess that it won't be a whole lot different than Warner Bros' relationship with DC. Meaning - the actual comics will hardly be touched by Disney, but Disney will cash in with some extra marketing stuff. But I dunno...has Disney really done much with the Muppets except put them in a Pizza Hut commercial since buying them?

Someone pointed out that this could mean some potentially interesting developments in future Kingdom Hearts games though, and that's pretty exciting!

This is either really good or really bad. DC's bought by WB, but I haven't noticed much change in them other than not doing a whole hell of a lot except crossing their fingers for another "Dark Knight" movie.

And I can't see if Disney would tame Marvel or just give them access to more funding.

... Interesting.

oh you know disney.... they just adore buying any level of competition.

Disney and SCAD have a lot in common. They should date.
