They can't buy out each other, there are rules against someone building a sole monopole.

Disney eventually will buy the rules.

They're more like guidelines.

It would be funny to watch Disney buy out Xbox though. If only to see the hardcore Xbox gamers who seem terrified of anything "kiddy" getting anywhere near their console panic and proclaim doom and gloom.

Not Three Laws compliant.

I'd buy more Xbox games if that happened. But what if they bought out tatsunoko co. so they can get into the manga industry? I bet Samurai Pizza Cats would become just as bland as Fish Hooks.sad

If they bought a manga company, I'd compare the results to what is Disney-owned Marvel today: basically, an unchanged output company. It helps they already distribute Miyazaki's material without altering it.

[up][up][up]How "kiddy" can they be when they have villains like Maleficent and Claude Frollo? tongue

I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.

I think a Hunchback of Notre Dame game would play out like a slower more on-rail version of Assassin's Creed.

I have ideas, and one of the ideas is BUY OUT THE REST OF THE JIM HENSON COMPANY!!!!, seriously just put Jim's work except Sesame Street under one label.

Sesame Street's resources are mostly on the East coast, and it's filmed in New York City. Buying out the Sesame Workshop would call for major relocating and the show would lose the charm it had.

No, I didn't mean it like that, I meant to not buy out Sesame Workshop but buy out The Jim Henson Company.

Don't they already? I suppose they just own Muppet Studios, a name that gathers the cast of The Muppet Show into one rights claim.

And the rest of The Jim Henson Company rights THAT ARE NOT SESAME STREET will hold Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth all in one mold, honestly I just would like The Jim Henson Company to be with The Muppets again, I miss it.

"That's exactly what Nintendo has been doing with Marvel and Lucas Films though. They own them, but Marvel and Lucas Films continued to operate under their normal leadership."

Didn't Disney shut down Lucas Arts though?

has a clue, but it's usually not the correct one 0.55% of the time

Headline: Disney completed their purchase of the right to Indiana Jones. This should be obvious by now, since they own Lucasfilm.

Disney buys the moon. And begins construction of a combination theme park and Death Star.

Not buying out anything, but it seems Disney isn't even immune to copying what other companies do. They're starting The Descendents, a direct competitor to Fairy Tale High, the producers of Monster High, about the sons and daughters of Disney villains. .....first of all, all the villains are GOOD and have enough positive qualities to BREED with someone!?!?!?

...Since when do people need positive qualities to breed?

They'll buy out Google and become an all-consuming megacorp called Dizzle.

And, somehow, You Tube becomes even crappier.

EDIT: And on the search engine will be buttons marked "Dizzle Search" and "I'm Feeling Ducky" — the latter, of course, with the search results spelled as if Donald Duck was pronouncing them.
