And I was just plain wrong.

I’l not give away any of the story other than the basics.  It’s about an old man who one day decides to head up and out, attaching hundreds of helium ballons to his house to fulfil a childhood dream of relocating somewhere special and his adventure on the way.  Of course, there’s a lot more to it than that but if I told you any more it would kind of spoil it for you.  It’s, without a doubt, one of Pixars finest films, in fact one of the best films I’ve ever seen.  Heartbreaking, touching and heartwarming all in one.

Wow.

I’m not entirely sure this is a good idea but I can see the benefits.

A greater brand awareness for Marvel, there are distribution channels that Disney have they can exploit to enhance the brand, and subsequently the comics market as a whole.

And it’s not like Pixar has suffered any from their move to Disney.  Not too sure I can say the same for Muppet Studios though.

But I’m sure time will tell.  As long as they don’t have the same kind of crap that Warner Bros. do to DC Comics’ characters movie-wise, I’m sure everything will work out just fine.

Although this does mean that Dark Horse become the largest indie comic book company in operation at the moment, something that will do them good for years to come.  As long as they don’t sell out are not bought over then the world of comic books isn’t totally lost…
