UPDATE #1: In a conference call, the companies said that the deals for movies for characters at other studios (Spider-Man, X-Men, etc.) will stay in place under the terms set by Marvel and the other studios.
UPDATE #2: John Lasseter met with Marvel last week about a possible team-up between Marvel and Pixar and got "pretty excited, pretty fast." They say there's definitely an opportunity there.
UPDATE #3: The deal with Paramount Pictures to distribute "Iron Man 2," "Thor," "Captain America" and "The Avengers" stays in place as well, but Disney would like to self-distribute down the line. "When the time comes we'll take a closer look at it." It was actually stated that the deal still included five films, so that is one more film after "The Avengers."

“If you're familiar with the Disney/Pixar relationship, then you'll understand why this is a new dawn for Marvel and the comics industry.”

The Lasseter update made me think — I know they are creating Toy Story 3 right now. The sudden cameo of Marvel toys yakking it up with Woody and Buzz Lightyear would probably give me a nerd boner to rival a 12" Thor maquette.

i don't think they'll change anything creativly, its just about corporate growth and having brands attached to your gold neck peice. probably means more movies to come but it doesn't mean they'll suck. but disney and corporate entertainment sucks anyway and comics are for 5 years old so there you have it, who gives a shit.

The change will happen gradually, once all the people who promised to keep things the same have moved on to other companies.
