(Or else it bought the rights to characters created by others and remade them into the Disney Version). It just seems weird - and to me, off-putting - when Disney buys Spiderman or lesser properties like the Muppets. I don't think Walt Disney would have done anything like that. It just seems more in the Disney spirit to create characters, not buy them. Seems so damn...corporate. And very Eisner (ugh).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-28516925817936122032009-09-14T20:20:51.545-07:002009-09-14T20:20:51.545-07:00Buying Pixar hasn't hurt Pixar ... or Disney.Buying Pixar hasn't hurt Pixar ... or Disney.Steve Huletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537689111433326847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-38996689003320792082009-09-14T07:48:51.600-07:002009-09-14T07:48:51.600-07:00"The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made"?? ..."The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made"?? I can *kinda* see that as a half-hour TV special, but as a full-length movie people are required to pay for? Bad move, Disney. But the return of Pirates and "Princess and the Frog" look like winners. It was a fun event, but man was it dead on some days. I wonder if Disney has eroded fan loyalty with some of its questionable moves (like buying muppets and superheroes it had no hand in developing)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
