that seemed to always get himself in a knot! (or get tied in a knot?)

Funny enough, almost all of Disney's animated shows have been based on actual serious books or stories. At least the older ones.

Yeah all their good ones were based on prior works of fiction, or at least most of them. I can't think of anything they've put on in a while that is up to the quality of their older stuff (excluding Pixar stuff, but that's not really Disney)

Did you see that they are buying Marvel?

 

[renau1g]

Yeah I saw that. Not sure how I feel. I love my comics, but I hope Disney stays out of their business. Smart move on Marvels part, the stock price soared 25% in a day.

I wonder what that will do with Marvel's licensing deal with Universal Studios for their themepark in Orlando. They have a bunch of marvel rides (Incredible Hulk rollercoaster was the best one I've ever gone on, the Spiderman 3-d adventure ride was also really cool).

It will be interesting to see what happens.

disney bought Marval?

disney bought Marval?

For 4 billion dollars I believe. Not sure if the deal is 100% complete, but it is close.

 

[renau1g]

It was for a relatively small amount of cash, mostly stock payment. The marvel sharedholders get 3/4 of a disney stock for every 1 marvel stock they have, I believe.

It'll need approval from majority of shareholders first, but it'll go through.

Yes, I had quite the collection of Disney records way back when. Jungle Book was definitely my favorite, but Show White was good. The evil wench in Cinderella scared me, though! (Hey, I was a little kid! ) (Or it was one of those evil enches anyway -- I remember a picture of her all angry and fuming as she stood on the top of a castle in a lightning storm. That was the one that really bugged me. Must've, seeing as how I remember that 38-odd years later!)

Leif, I thought evil wenches still scared you?
