To me, that question does not apply to Pixar or the Muppets. I think those two entities fit very well under the Disney label (arguably, Pixar was always a part of the Disney brand). Power Rangers, on the other hand, is a lousy fit for Disney. Lucasfilm? Yeah, I think Star Wars and Indiana Jones seem to be more of a natural match with Disney than Marvel, but maybe that's just me.Doopeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810664293028014984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-85157886112980973162010-01-03T13:13:50.299-08:002010-01-03T13:13:50.299-08:00You're right, this is no different than Warner...You're right, this is no different than Warner owning DC comics. Which proves my point, see? Disney isn't special anymore. And yes it bothered me when Disney bought the Muppets. A more unneeded, unprofitable and irrelevant - PUPPETS? - bunch of characters can hardly be imagined. And why would a company that owns Pixar, which created the Incredibles, want with Spiderman? And Winnie the Pooh is different, it's a creation that Disney bought the rights to and then "plussed" Disney style, like 101 Dalmations and Mary Poppins. WTF can Disney do with the Muppets? If it changes them that'll suck, and if it doesn't change them that'll suck because THEY suck (Bohemian Rhapsody proves nothing. Mix any bunch of puppets up with a Queen song and it'll be funny). The Muppets Xmas special tanked TWICE n the ratings this year, so much for them. The Disney brand has been diluted and cheapened with these irrelevant acquisitions. AND THAT SUCKS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-47444226201598161892010-01-02T22:12:25.536-08:002010-01-02T22:12:25.536-08:00^^^^^

Ok, you got me on that one.<br /><br />Disney has ALWAYS been a corporation.<br /><br />Even under Walt. Too many people filter their view of the company and the man through layers of nostalgia that don't show you the reality.<br /><br />This is no different than Warner owning DC Comics. Disney is going after the boy market because they don't like seeing movies with princesses in them. They like action. It's a smart move by Iger, just like his deal for Pixar. He knows what is needed and he's doing what has to be done.<br /><br />It's ok to visit the Disney world, just don't live there, k?Anonymasshoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-87209613035957342492010-01-02T20:57:36.430-08:002010-01-02T20:57:36.430-08:00I absolutely hate this.
