I mean I know it does. But I feel like if the option was just the library and not the entire rest of the company. He’d only want the library. I mean he can try but I doubt Zaslav wants that.
But honestly I’m not going to lie. I’s be curious to see what Disney would do with Looney Tunes, and...
Would Bob, even want it? I mean 20th Century has been doing pretty well for them.
Besides the movie library, animation library, and DC comics. I can’t think of any other reason. But the regulations would be too massive. I’d honestly would be amazed if he managed to do it, at this point.
Yeah, but do you really think Japan is going to let the biggest anime/manga IPs go to Disney? Shueisha is still one of Japan’s biggest companies, in terms of cultural impact. One Piece, Naruto, Jojo, new releases like Jujustu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man. And of course (Besides One Piece, and...
I think it was to adapt it. They could never buy Shueisha, outright. It would be like trying to buy Nintendo. The Japanese government would never allow it.
Hello, I am a new user. Nice, to meet you all. I have been a lurker for a couple of years. And figured it would be nice to finally, share my thoughts. Hope, we can get along.
Agreed. A shame really, but I wonder if people look at Traditional animation the same way they look at Star Wars now.
More of a television thing than a film thing. (Considering that anime and cartoons are the only thing still keeping it alive.)
At this point honestly. I have no idea if it’s worth the risk. 2D films now don’t make as much money as cgi films. I mean make it, if it’s a good story. But it needs to be original Lion King levels good, and it needs to be something that can only be made using 2D. But at this point, I would save...
If Disney wants to win over the Gen Z crowd. Do this:
1. Make a Kingdom Hearts anime
2. Hire the best selling manga authors (Ex: Kishimoto, Tite Kubo, Hiromu Arakawa, etc) and ask them to make an outline or pitch for an original anime.
3. Make a manga or anime branch and produce your own stuff...
