Comments on: Disney unveils possible post-acquisition Star Wars film titles http://boingboing.net/2012/11/02/disney-unveils-possible-post-a.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Fri, 24 May 2013 05:17:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Aaron H http://boingboing.net/2012/11/02/disney-unveils-possible-post-a.html#comment-1574145 Aaron H Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:01:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=191882#comment-1574145 Funny to see all the suggestions that are parodies of Pixar movies, rather than Disney originals. (2 of the 3 in the OP are Pixar-derivatives). Yeah, I know Pixar is now owned by Disney, but consider this:  Disney bought Pixar in 2006 (the year "Cars" came out, though one could argue that "Cars" was still Disney untouched since it was near-completion when the deal happened). Up until that point, Disney was only in charge of production, and Pixar was otherwise an independent studio. So if we refer to "Toy Story", or "Finding Nemo", or "Monsters, Inc." (etc) as Disney films, will we also be doing the same in 5-10 years with Star Wars episodes I-VI? (At least we could retroactively blame Disney for the Xmas special then, I guess) Funny to see all the suggestions that are parodies of Pixar movies, rather than Disney originals.
