Just think of seeing the Disney symbol in the Bottom corner of a Spider-Man Comic. That's enough to send a shiver down My Spine.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing a Marvel themed level in a KH game, I'm not gonna lie.

Oh and BTW. Pixar is never, ever, ever going to make a Marvel Superhero movie. Not gonna happen. Pixar takes a ton of pride in doing their own stuff, so there's no way they do someone else's characters. That said Lassiter is in charge of all of Disney animation so there's certainly a chance that Disney animation would do something, but Disney Animation and Pixar are two completely different things. Anyways, sorry for the rant. Rock on and I look forward to next weeks TDAR. Cheers, Ringslinger

I'm just afraid disney will force marvel's darker and more edgy characters to be more kid friendly. It would be a horrible thing to see DeadPool not killing his enemies, using water guns and encouraging children to brush their teeth. On the otherhand it would be cool to see ryan reynolds kick zac effron in the face (but seeing as it's disney deadpool will be played by tim allen.)

Bolt was great, what are you talking about? Anyways, Disney has taken great lengths to keep their Disney Channel franchises far away from the actual meat. That's why you never see Mickey Mouse holdin' hands with the Jonas Bros.

no offense to the classic stuff, Aladdin will always be great, but I never want to see a Marvel character in Bolt or Hannah Montana colon The Movie
