From my understanding, Disney wants to expand their audience, since girls are usually targeted towards Disney. Which is not the case. Although Disney is highly recognized for their animation department, they usually do target the female audience. If you disagree, here's proof. The princesses, a majority of the shows and original movies about females and need I say "High School Musical". Disney also has male oriented things as well, such as the KINGDOM HEARTS franchise(which by the way is SUPERB ). Also, Pirates of the Caribbean & Tron. Did I forget to mention they have Jerry Bruckheimer?
To get off topic for a second, I grew up on Disney way before PIXAR became it's demolisher. But when they acquired the rights to the Muppets, I hate to say it but, they screwed them over. The Power Ranger franchise, grew up on it as well, Disney screwed this one up to the maximum. When Saban owned PR, they heavily used Sentai footage, which PR is based from. Now Disney uses their own footage, wack storylines and no punches to the head.
To get on topic again, who knows what in the world Disney will do with Marvel. Marvel would do best if Disney would let them handle their own business as they distribute. Disney knows how to target females and families, but can they target comic book fans and males too?
This is not a hatred blog towards Disney, I grew up on them. Without them, Jim Henson and many other child hood memories, I would not be in film school. I mean if they do good business with Marvel, kudos to them. I am just asking is that they do not harm popular franchises for the greed of money.
