What does Disney / Marvel mean for Boom! Studios?
Disney / Marvel deal is the news of the day (See Disney to buy Marvel for $4bn). So what does this mean to the (potential) Boom! Studios deal to publish the new Disney titles and an ongoing comic series of Cars, Wall-E and Toy Story? (We blogged about this recently: Boom! to Serve Up New Toy Story Comic). If Marvel has anything to say about it, probably nothing. Why? Marvel Comics, publishes superhero comics. That’s their bread and butter, and it has worked incredibly well for them over the years.
Read about the comic industries reaction to the deal: More Comic Industry Reaction to Marvel & Disney. Afterwards, please share your thoughts.

Another Story About Toys - Floyd Norman
Via @PixarFanboy Floyd Norman (Disney animator who worked on Toy Story 2) has a brief article up on his blog about how Pixar was more Disney than Disney.
Yeah, these are Pixar characters, but they’re essentially Disney in concept. I was first introduced to these characters in a story reel I viewed back in 1994. “Toy Story” could have been considered a “stealth” project back then because few people even knew about the film being developed up north.
