Early this morning, every fanboy and fangirl woke up to some shocking news…the Walt Disney company announced they were buying Marvel Entertainment for $4 Billion in cash and stock. Yes, $4 Billion. While some immediately thought this was the worst thing they’ve ever heard, others were excited by the possibilities of a merger between these two entertainment juggernauts. After all, combining all the characters of the Marvel universe with a company that owns theme parks, cable channels, and makes movies, the potential for even more Marvel characters getting a shot at prime time or a movie screen just increased.
Since this news was the type that Peter (Slashfilm) and I would talk about on the phone, we decided to record one of our video blogs to share our conversation online. So if you’d like to watch what Peter and I think about the deal and why we both think this could be a good thing…take a look after the jump:

Thanks for the video blog steve and letting us know the things.I wonder once all the spiderman or iron man movie’s are done what will disney announce and which movie would they want to make i am interested in knowing that.I think ant man fit’s perfectly for pixar. I would be excited to see if pixar chooses any marvel character it would be interesting to see super hero movie from them and i am excited to see it but it would at least take 3-4 years for that movie to come out.I think they did the right decision by buying the pixar and it proved them right but as far as marvel is concerned they will have to dig deep for which character’s would they wanna choose and make movie or tv show out of it.

I don’t know if you guys understand John Lasseter job. When John went to go talk to Marvel, and they both got really excited, it doesn’t automatically mean he went there in behalf of Pixar. John was named chief creative officer of both Pixar and Disney animation studios, as well as principal creative advisor at Walt Disney Imagineering (Theme Parks). So just because John went down to Marvel to talk, he might have been there to talk about the theme park possibilities, or stuff for Disney Animation… ( Animated Direct to DVD Movies like Marvel are doing now). Please don’t get your hopes up to much. John is not just doing things for Pixar now a days.
