thats true too. Nightmare before christmas was first released under Touchstone. then when people started worshiping it, it moved to the disney label. and became so hot another studio did Corpse Bride.

There was an article in todays business section of the San Diego Onion That said that all character licenses would continue until expiration of the contracts.

So my guess is that you may see Mickeys "brand" on them, but things will continue as normal. (look for Hidden mickey's in the x-men costumes?)
hehehehe

No, a weremaid is a person that turns into a maid during the full moon. Besides, what's wrong with furry? I think a werewolfmermaid would be interesting.

Most intriguing to me about this merger -- Bob Iger said something to the effect that the Pixar people are really excited about access to the Marvel characters! It'll be interesting if something comes of that.

and too many also like it.
I made a pinback button of it for myself. everytime I go into the disney store
people ask me where I got it, I tell them I made it, and they ask me how much I would take for it. I say how about 2.50 and they say fine. I wonder what would they say if I wore one into DLR. hmm, I need to make up some more and keep a few in my car. worst comes to worst they become collectibles.
