And yes, the a reenactment of the Hero of Canton would be an awesome live show in any gate...
I would totally take a Firefly version of Star Tours. This could be the first adventure!

I'm not sure which area you are talking about in referring to re-theme .... I said they could retheme the Super Hero area easily, it's a pretty cheap and cheezy, the land that falls quite short of the other IOA lands.
And if you are saying Superhero land is next best to Harry Potter - they aren't even in the same universe. Superhero land is nothing more than Six Flags at best. Every time I walk in I am distracted by how bad it is.
No, sorry, talking Simpsons. Honestly I don't know cause I have never been there, but I have heard it's great. Maybe it wouldn't be bad to retheme, guess I just figured it would be a pain.
I didn't care for Futurama. Sorry.Your feelings on Futurama? Is that one ok?
I know Disney has acquired a lot of IP under this deal but don't be surprised if Disney then go and sell bits of it off. I can't see what interest Disney will have in anything Seth McFarlane related like Family guy
No backlot. That is probably the difference between the low 50B price and the 60B that was tossed around.
My guess is Hulu becomes the outlet for the inherited more adult content, Disney's branded streaming service will cover the more "Disney" properties. Iger came out this a.m. and said Hulu will not become the Disney streaming service, so I'm guessing a content split where Disney can hide a connection with the more adult content will still owning a majority of the system they stream on will be appealing. A huge amount of this deal is predicated on Fox's regional sports channels. If they can't stem the issues at ESPN, Disney has probably overpaid.
The two international pieces are also significant though this provides a slight complication for Fox's takeover of the rest of Sky. Personally I think the regulators in the UK will allow it to proceed as Disney probably holds a better reputation than Murdoch after his well-publicized issues with the Fleet Street tabloids. These international assets aren't really bread and butter fits for Disney so it will be interesting how they handle them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney don’t walk away from Hulu. It’s likely that Hulu will be a point of contention when the purchase is reviewed by regulators. Disney will hold a controlling 60% stake. There’s a couple of ways that could be resolved of course, but the easiest is to force TWDC to divest 21CF’s holdings, which would likely mean Comcast get it, assuming they want that much extra debt. In such a scenario I could see Disney using this as a good a reason as any to disentangle themselves from the whole deal. Hulu without Disney/Fox content is pretty worthless, and for Comcast’s part, they’d rather you got NBC via your cable plan.
Disney would then be free to launch a new service with all of their content plus that of 21st Century Fox as an almost exclusive package.
Also, as a streaming service I don’t see a need to them to maintain a ‘Disney’ image. There’ll be multiple brands and styles of content, and those could of course be presented as ‘channels’ for ease of navigation. This whole play is to ensure Netflix or Amazon don’t get fat off of Disney’s content. I don’t see them leaving product off the table.
Fox is only retaining fox network, Fox News, fs1, fs2 and big ten network. FX was included in the sale.While they'll own the 21th Century Fox-produced shows and movies, Disney won't be own the broadcast networks — Fox, FX, FXX, Fox News, FS1, FS2, the various college football channels, etc. — all of those will be spun off as per the agreement with Murdoch, which means they might concede Fox's share in Hulu.
But there has been a lot of talk that Disney, Fox, and Comcast have been looking to sell Hulu for some time now.
