The Lion King but has not given either any sort of compensation to Tezuka Productions nor credit to Osamu Tezuka. I know their creative people know better. In and of itself, it's not a crime that they did take elements from Tezuka's work--there are also elements in The Lion King that would seem to come from Kipling's Jungle Books (not the Disney version) and from a famous pre-WWII Nazi propaganda film (Triumph of the Will). Cultural references are to be expected. But when a work derives so

line, but it will never replace high end physical media. Lets see, I never argued against dvd format. actually I suggested an altogether alternative to the current "Print the disks, send to retailers" format. DRM is a pain in the butt, and no-one wants it. What I suggest is to open up the market a bit and create a bit more efficiency in the market is a slightly different way of distribution. For example, instead of Best Buy, or Target, or whatever retailer, buying '000'000s of disks
Disney XD, and ABC which will be huge plus the reairings will generate loads of cash. I also expect all Marvel's rides will move to Disney most likely to Disney Studios Park. They will also pop up more heavily in retail stores, Disney stores, and the theme park stores too. I see $$$$$ in the millions or more for this deal and with the House of Mouse building more to its cruise line, family resort hotels in Hawaii and D. plus I expect a Marvel theme hotel too soon. The whole thing is a win-win
Marvel ever was, which can only be good news. I always thought of Disney as more of a DC kind of company. Mickey Mouse, Superman, you can't get more American that that. Marvel is angsty and complex. Makes me wonder about the future of Marvel characters at Universal Studios Orlando.

that already existed and made it their own, within the original framework. Brunner consider characters like Wendy, or Mulan. or more modern disney female roles, like in pixar movies. Pixar's stories tend to be brand new and not recycled. So, females characters aren't held down by their pre-feminist/ woman's suffrage beginnings. There are no fairy tales about someone getting a job, working hard for twenty years and buying the company. There are no fairy tales about marrying your school sweetheart
business with this site many times. Exactly!!! By tech standards, their content should be free, giving it a valuation closer to zero. >Exactly!!! By tech standards, their content should be free, giving it a valuation closer to zero. Marvel and Disney never drank Richard Stallman’s kool-aid and thus retained their sense of value. Yeah, I’m surprised there isn’t any mention of say Marvel’s digital strategy (they recently released their first comic on iTunes) versus
