Mickey Mouse will soon be lining up alongside Spiderman and the Fantastic Four will be taking Pluto for a walk. Disney have bought Marvel and all the super heroes within.
Disney spokesperson Wayne Kerr said "This is such exciting news. It will place Disney back on top where we belong. The film rights alone will help to strengthen our company and lead to future growth."
Already a new version of Fantasia is to be released. Mickey Mouse's role as the apprentice is expected to be taken by a little known Marvel super hero called 'El Colonel'. Disney anticipate a huge success with this film and with future projects.
Smaller production companies are not as pleased about the news. Bruce French of the Independent Film and British United Theatregoers (IFBUT) said "Disney could put many smaller operators out of business. Everyone thinks Mickey is cute, but really there is something so sinister about him."
