Not too sure about that. Again, look back to 2012. Wreck-It Ralph drew comparisons to Toy Story, and Brave is now an official Disney Princess movie.

Wreck it ralph draws comparison for it's comes to life at night gimmick, which is hardly something pixar invented! Granted they did make it rather popular! But I get your point, however at the same time I just view them as really different studios. But I have had many a convo with people who aren't that into animated flicks who call every new animated film from disney a pixar film.

For the people that say Big 6 was probably chosen for production because it can be used in WDW..
Wouldn't that be a miniscule reason to choose what to produce? Actually I would think the people in charge wouldn't care at all.
I may be completely wrong here, I know this site is dedicated to WDW, but isn't the profits from WDW peanuts compared to their movie profits?
I always think about this when people talk about all of the money made by the company and CEO like it was all made by the parks.

That's a fair point; however, one of the many uses of the parks is to promote new films. Maleficent met at DHS in the new outfit to promote her film, Cap and Thor met at DL for their movies, etc. For the past 20 years, every Disney Animated film has been promoted upon release at the Disney parks in some fashion, especially in WDW as that's the largest and sees the most visitors. I see no reason why they don't want this practice to continue.

Good point, but if you could ahead of time pick something that could potentially make you more money in the long run wouldn't you? So if they could have free in house promotion for one property but not the other which as a ceo would you pick?

Well then you'd know that isn't branding for the movie, it's a credit. That's there because it's a Marvel property. If you look at MCU the logo is part of the title of the film, portrayed a distinctly different way.
Kevin Feige quote: "...the X-Menfranchise had already been a giant hit, the Spider-Man franchise was already a giant hit, so the safety net becomes Marvel itself. That red brick logo on top of the title—right now means something."

See, the same way Disney brands it's movies....
Disney-Marvel movies have a very specific branding just like Disney-Pixar (which yes is a legal stipulation) and Disney movies leverage their respective brands. Disney is very big on brands and it's why Disney-Marvel movies display no Disney logos.

Interesting...To me IMO that the logo for the film is using the Red/White Logo for a hint that it's Marvel but not stating that it is...

Not really, since the "brain trust" that is now involved in the development of both studios' films repeatedly say their focus is just on having a good story. There have been no declarations of only working in specific genres.

This is a comic book cover. Looks like a combo of the comic and Marvel logos were used.

Yes, if "can we promote it in the parks" became the only differentiating factor between the two choices, but it's highly unlikely that it would ever come down to just that factor. I think movies like Guardians and Big Hero 6 were chosen so they could diversify their Marvel offerings. These may draw an audience that isn't interested in the core Marvel super heroes, and also gives them some new options if interest in the core characters start to wane.

Astute observation... Could be.

I am not saying that it was the only differentiating factor, but if they went into this and said make sure to craft the film to our liking that to me wouldn't be out of the question. In fact this adaption follows more of their fairytale ones, where major elements are changed everywhere but certain elements remain similar or the same.
