I couldn't agree more. I loved them when I was in my 20s, but as I've gotten older, they're just more and more annoying and crass.
One corporation to rule them all..

Wouldn't this also give them the film rights to Avatar?
Yes Disney would now own A New Hope. And the distribution rights to the first 6. If I remember, Lucas gave Fox that.

And the fanfare? Don't care about the logo, but I do miss having the John Williams version of the 20th Century Fox fanfare to herald the opening of a Star War.
Yes, precisely. Remember, Roy, Jr. was adamant that Disney movies continue to be the family oriented movies of Walt and his dad. Eisner knew audience tastes were shifting and Disney Studios would be left in the dust if it continued to only make G rated movies. The first Touchstone release was Splash. And Eisner did his best to keep it quiet that Touchstone was Disney.....

And for what its worth, Universal has handled the simpsons very well. The land is really really fun to walk through. Wish the flaming moe was a little more true to the story but overall it is fun for a simpsons fan to see.

Well, he kept it quiet for a while. But as time went on some of the more PG touchstone films got cross promoted in the parks, on the Disney Channel, in Disney stores, and on Wonderful World of Disney. Most people figured it out.

I still think they should have just replaced it with a Williams arranged version of When You Wish Upon a Star

The articles have all stated Disney would not be purchasing the Fox network.

If this did happen I would release a collection of Don Bluth films (kinda like what they have done with Studio Ghibi films) as those are some of the finest non-disney American animated films out there
