So, yesterday a new trailer for Astro Boy came out. I'm so excited for this movie! I swear I'm like one of the only people I know that likes Astro Boy. People are kinda like 'Oh, I don't wanna watch that, its OLD! Mehh! Give me shiny and newwww!' But its Tezuka!! I liked it even without knowing this and not knowing Osamu Tezuka's and Astro Boy's significance. It makes me sad when people dismiss it 'cause its black & white or how old it is. Its such a great story regardless. Hopefully this new and improved version will garner more fans and give old school Astro Boy a boost. The animation looks amazing! This new trailer shows off a little bit more of the movie than the other one did-more robots, Dr. Tenma, more voices (Nathan Lane!!). October should be here now!

So, in case you haven't heard, Disney bought Marvel
Or is buying it rather. Whatever. This is blowin up the internet yo. I first heard about it either when someone I follow tweeted about it or on yahoo uk . Then Supercon-a comics/anime/animation/gaming convention-asked peeps how they felt about the merger. A lot of people weren't happy.
Honestly, at first I was like 'WTF?!?! Disney's buying Marvel? Why exactly? o.O' Then I was like 'NOOOOOOOO!!!!' But me and the House of Mouse have a hot/cold relationship. I mean when you think of Disney you think of kiddy shite and princesses, not superheroes. But that's exactly why they want Marvel. The Yahoo article mentions that they're looking to appeal more to and draw in boys since Disney tends to be more girl friendly. I think its more kid friendly than anything but I can't deny the abundance of princesses & girl power and the like. The article also mentions that Disney's not looking to rebrand Marvel but to build off of the good thing they've already got going. As long as they stick to that, which I don't see why they wouldn't, then I think I'm good. I do wonder a bit what's going to happen to Disney parks and the Marvel Heroes Island at Islands of Adventure (best part of that park! Until Hogwarts opens). Also, if they're planning on using their theme park prowess to build & expand with Marvel parks, might I suggest a Kingdom Hearts theme park or at least a ride or SOMETHING!!!! That my imagination can't wait for! As a matter of fact, do some KH before ya Marvel it up, k Disney?! There's already a Marvel something at a theme park. (Oh, and do something major and NOT cheesy with ninjas! Ya already got pirates, now its ninja time! Be neutral in the battle of pirates & ninjas. Pinja for life!)
Anyway, in the meantime people have been having...fun? with the news of Disney/Marvel mashup merger funtime. Comics Alliance has some links to Disney/Marvel mashup art . I'll help out one of their mentions, Craig Yoe's I.T.C.H blog just got up & running I assume with this as a first post & a reason to bust out some art from his book 'The Art of Mickey Mouse' which features some Disney superhero clashes.
In the meantime...this is going to be interesting. And maybe I need to buy stock in Marvel? Maybe Disney as well? Once they start making some Marvel money it'll probably be nice? What do you think about it all-nay or hooray?
