This deal is all about the Parks folks. not the movies. THe Disney
Parks department have been trying to bring people back to the parks
for years, to no avail. This fixes that problem, and they could
make this money back in less than 10 years.
NOW let's look at that Iron Man anime trailer again. REAL CLOSE.

Disney to Buy Marvel Entertainment for $4 Billion
The Walt Disney Company said on Monday that it has agreed to buy
Marvel Entertainment, bringing together the house of Mickey Mouse
with the publisher of Spider-Man, for $4 billion in cash and stock.
Under the terms of the deal, Disney will pay $30 a share in cash
and .745 Disney shares for every Marvel share, with no less than 40
percent of the deal being made in stock. Disney valued the deal at
$50 a share as of the companies' share prices on Friday.
Isaac Perlmutter, Marvel's chief executive, will continue to
oversee his company's properties, including more than 5,000
characters that also include Iron Man and the X-Men.
Marvel has had a string of successful movies based on its
characters, which analysts have praised in part for the company's
taking an active role in their production.
"This transaction combines Marvel's strong global brand and world-
renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-
Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney's
creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment
properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of
creative properties across multiple platforms and territories, "
Robert A. Iger, Disney's chief executive, said in a statement.
"Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of
characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and
licensing businesses," Mr. Perlmutter said.
