CastletonSnob 3,074 December 15, 2017 Share December 15, 2017 Disney is about to buy Fox. This got me to thinking, what if Disney bought Hasbro? How would the show be affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Guide 21,360 December 15, 2017 Share December 15, 2017 (edited) There's already like 5 topics that asked the same thing. I suggest checking those out first. Seriously just type in "mlpforums.com disney buying hasbro" in google and you'll find several similar topics.

cmarston1 5,959 December 16, 2017 Share December 16, 2017 I don't think an acquisition like this would happen. I am pretty sure that antitrust laws would get in the way if Disney attempted to buy out Hasbro, given how much of a media monopoly it is becoming/has become. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Canterlot 9,603 December 16, 2017 Share December 16, 2017 If Disney ever bought out Hasbro, I think we would see a lot of cross-overs with the show, considering how often Disney crosses it's own brands and shows into each other. Now I'm not saying this is a bad thing necessarily, but it would depend on what things get crossed-over with MLP that would either make or break the show for me. I would also hope that they would put MLP on Disney channel mostly because I don't get Discovery Family on my cable, but I do get Disney channel. It would make it easier for me at least to watch new episodes right when they come out and not have to wait several hours or even days to wait for them to come out online. 1 RA RA RASPUTIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Disney is gonna buy them as is, so they can get that money too. Changing an already successful formula is too much of a financial risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparklefan1234 169,691 December 16, 2017 Share December 16, 2017 (edited) @WiiGuy2014 If Disney ever bought Hasbro, I'd like to see a reboot of one of my favorite Disney shows "Disney's House of Mouse". only this time it would include things like MLP & Transformers interacting with Mickey Mouse & his friends.

nr2038 51 December 16, 2017 Share December 16, 2017 (edited) Well the number one thing is that Disney will be cutting out the middleman as the the manufacturer of their Star Wars and Marvel action figures. I have said this may times that it would be the smart move to make, Do I want to see it no, but you cant argue with the logic of it.

KillerKingBakudan 702 December 19, 2017 Share December 19, 2017 If Disney bought Hasbro, they could make Square-Enix dump MLP characters into a Kingdom Hearts game. Could be interesting to see, but I'm not particularly stoked about it. No questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiFTGewEhrSCHutzen-4 8,828 December 19, 2017 Share December 19, 2017 So be it, as long as they (Disney) let Hasbro do their thing with MLP, Jem, Transformers, etc. Then all’s good just like they let Deadpool remain R-rated and stuff. But that’s just what I think.

Disney erased decades of established Star Wars canon so they could write a shitty remake of A New Hope. So I would hope for something better than that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanhades70 14 April 22, 2018 Share April 22, 2018 I would like to see it happen so Disney can decide to keep Gen 4 going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreambiscuit 9,576 April 23, 2018 Share April 23, 2018 If Disney bought Hasbro you'd see what we've already seen with Marvel and Lucasfilm; a lot more product, churned out and made generic by their board-run machine, with very few risks, artistic integrity or soul. But it would still somehow make a bundle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronicplane 58 December 22, 2018 Share December 22, 2018 Kinda surprised that they haven't tbh, the amount of money Disney could earn from it would be astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashy 4 Ever 4,835 December 22, 2018 Share December 22, 2018 Let's just say, they'd ruin the cuteness of the MLP show. I wouldn't be surprised for Mickey mouse to appear in one of the episodes. 1 Tell me this isn't the cutest thing you've seen all day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kion 7,407 May 14, 2019 Share May 14, 2019 If Disney bought hasbro we would of only gotten like 4 seasons since Disney has a 4 season rule. Plus they’d ruined the stories and the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
