What If: Disney Buys Hasbro

[Sunshower Raindrops 3,227]

 

 

FOR BUCK'S SAKE, PLEASE, NO!!!

 

The Disney take over has started

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

I'd only be against it if they didn't take the voice acting cast and animators with them.

[PsychedelicPony 440]

I don't think so as their competitor Universal already has some rights to Transformers, but that being said Universal did have Marvel and I believe Disney bought that out from under them.

[CT-1138 3,182]

Now seriously, Disney has been doing awesome things with Marvel and Star Wars, I'm also a Disney fan so why not?

If by awesome you mean "dumbing down" and "destroying" respectively, then yes.

[Banul 3,831]

As long as the didn't fire the whole MLP team and bring in replacements, I think it would be fine. I'v always thought Disney tended to do a good job with its IPs.

[baltoist 303]

i would at leaest try it to see how it gose

[Theshadowmaster235 70]

Disney is pure evil they've already destroyed star wars and just like modern day nickelodeon they ruin everything they touch if they buy hasbro and ruin mlp(and everything else hasbro has made) they will have to answer to an army of angry fans and I don't want to here about Disney making good shows and movies because they haven't made a good show in years they have strayed away from what Walt Disney had originally wanted and that was to make something that everyone can enjoy more than half of the shows on Disney channel are made solely for young children and have little to no redeeming qualities Disney XD isn't much better it used to have a few good shows but now it's mostly trash as well.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

Disney is a dangerous company. I hope this property does not fall into its hands. They are about to obliterate Star Wars so I don't want to see the same happen to MLP.

[Comet Starflash 46]

Disney have already taken my beloved Star Wars (which, by the way, if they screw up I will hate them forever) now if they took mlp and made it bad... Now thats crossing a line and im gonna be mad... Like this mad. (I made a gesture with my hands while I typed that so just imagine that)

[Espurr 449]

If they take it, then we need to ban together one summer and protest at the Disney studio. Plenty of bronies probably live near there so those that will live closest will  take them down first. Then a couple months later when they think it's all over then the rest of us with attack wil protests!

Disney already bought LucasArts, so its more than enough. Disney needs to stop being greedy and leave Hasbro be. Who knows what'll happen if Disney buys Hasbro (again, because greed). 

[RubyVesper 100]

Meh, I don't really care too much about that possibility. Wander Over Yonder proves that Disney can let us have good stuff, so if something is already good in a way that would suit Disney (coughMLPcough), it'd probably be just fine.

 

And yeah, I watched all of Wander Over Yonder in one afternoon. I need more now.

[Discordly Cutiepie 2,065]

honestly i think in Disney took over MLP then it would become overly girly and i don't want to see that happen 

 

also most of the Disney movies that came out recently i don't like too much i used to like them but i don't know what went wrong with them 

 

anyway whats with Disney wanting everything don't they have too much as it is

[RainbowMau 291]

If by awesome you mean "dumbing down" and "destroying" respectively, then yes.

Superhero movies like Avengers, Thor, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy... TV shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., animated movies like Big Hero 6...

And what about things like Star Tours (which BTW was way before Disney's purchase)...

 

Yeah, big dumble down and destroy.

[Sunshower Raindrops 3,227]

Disney would also somehow try to put the NSA in there to indoctrinate us...    I really want to know how they would try to indoctrinate us fine 16 and up fine people though.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

I'm not particularly even sure why Disney would even think about buying Hasbro.

I don't think Littlest Pet Shop and Furby are really their style either.

Though to me Transformers seems a little too much action for Disney.

 

I don't really know. Maybe it would be better?

 

Since everyone here seems to be complaining about what would happen, I'll be the devil's advocate and say something different!

 

• We would likely get more MLP merchandise and games
• MLP would be advertised better
• there would likely be more MLP movies
• The show could possibly run on for longer
• Lot's of attention in the media
• Since the writers and such would still be doing their thing, I doubt their awesomeness is going to be withheld.
• Likely to see more epic moments like the season 4 finale!

Personally I don't want it to be bought out by Disney, but I thought I'd throw in some ideas!

hasbro will never do that because they love money just a bit more then Disney and MLP FIM is making them shit loads of money so i don't see them doing that ever.

[Silverhoof 2,844]

If this happened, I would start a petition to create an MLP ride at Disney World, full animatronics, done Pirates style. All the villains would be there, the good guys, even Derpy (who would be somewhere in the background of every group scene) and Discord would hijack the ride into chaos, until Princess Twilight got things back under control.

 

There ARE benefits to Disney...

[CT-1138 3,182]

Superhero movies like Avengers, Thor, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy... TV shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., animated movies like Big Hero 6...

Yeah, big dumble down and destroy.

Avengers was mediocre so was Thor. Winter Soldier was very good, I'll admit. Haven't watched Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, but I hear good things. Guardians of thd Galaxy hasn't even come out yet, but I'll be surprised if that doesn't flop. And I do know since Disney bought Marvel, the comics have been worse.

 

Also, Star Tours is a crappy knockoff trying to imitate Star Wars. Furthermore, Disney has already canceled a couple anticipated games, Star Wars: The Clone Wars just as it was getting great, and obliterated the EU like the Death Star did Aldaaran. Sigh. That was a day millions of fans suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

I'd be delighted! They wouldn't change Studio DHX, so the quality of the show would not suffer. All it means for us is that we get to see many of our childhood icons now co-exist with our new beloved characters!

Jeez upon reading some of your comments, I'm a little disheartened.   

 

Disney isn't some evil empire, it's an entertainment company that has brought the world joy time and again as per the vision of it's founder. Yeah they've made their mistakes, but it was never to intentionally make the material worse. Sometimes creative decisions don't pan out, you can't blame them for trying.

 

They are indeed a large company, but I think the idea that "corporations are evil" is something we ourselves have been indoctrinated with. Why can't a for profit company make money and still live up to it's founding vision? I think it can, and baring a few stinkers, I believe they have. I don't regret a single iota of support, financial or otherwise, I've given my hero's legacy.

so long as they didn't follow Frozen's example.

 HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! Frozen is AWESOME. Im watching it right now.

They wanted to buy a civil war battle field to build a civil war themed theme park over it. That's destroying American heritage. Not to mention they've been known to butcher foreign films they buy the rights to in an effort to "make them more marketable to America" and they're huge supporters of SOPA. Seems pretty evil to me.

Gee @Steel Accord! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this!

I guess your point on how we see corporations as evil is very true. We do tend to attribute all this unnecessary traits.

The company can't please everyone I guess.

[Wild Star 141]

that would be worse than when story9entertainment bought Arthur. i still have tears.

 

i was mad, too. i edited the story9 wiki page..........for REVENGE!

The title scared the living hell out of me.

 

I hope not honestly. Because I feel like it would be ruined.

 

Still though, I don't think Hasbro is doing the absolute best job with it right now... *COUGH* MY LITTLE PONY COMPLETE SEASON BLU RAYS *COUGH*

 

I wouldn't want Disney touching MLP.
