Marveling at Disney By Christopher Borrelli Tribune reporter September 1, 2009 You know the problem with Pinocchio? He can't manipulate metal with his mind. He doesn't really do anything constructive -- he can't shoot lasers from his chest, he can't fight hoodlums. But Thorocchio, the Puppet God of Thunder -- now that has promise. Indeed, you might say that for years the trouble with the Walt Disney Co. was its lack of masculine role models. Yes, it acquired Pixar. And it acquired the Muppets. But not until Monday morning, with news that Disney agreed to buy Marvel Entertainment Inc. for $4 billion, has the mighty Mouse stood to own anything that could kick serious rump. Once the deal is done, at least 5,000 Marvel superheroes will fall under the ownership of Disney, combining two of the world's greatest animated collections. Imagine the possibilities ... Hulkambi Origin: a mild-mannered fawn wanders onto a nuclear testing range... Gooferine Origin: a mild-mannered, slow-witted, abnormally large talking Canadian dog in blue pants witnesses the death of his father, which triggers a mutant gene that allows him to become indestructible. Spider-Mouse Origin: A mild-mannered anthropomorphic mouse is bitten by a radioactive spider and lives with his grandmother until he's 35. Darepoppinsdevil Origin: A mild-mannered British nanny is blinded when toxic radiation falls off the back of an everyday pram... Ghost Duck Origin: A mild-mannered lisping duck wearing a sailor suit, to save the life of Uncle Scrooge McDuck, enters into a pact with Satan and is forced to wander the Earth pantless for all eternity. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.
