AHC: Disney gets bought

With a POD not earlier than 1971 (foundation of LucasFilm) let the Walt Disney Company be absorbed by LucasFilm or Marvel until the year 2013.
 
I'd rather see them being taken over by Warner Brothers. It would make for interesting editorial cartoons. I can see Mickey being led to the guillotine with Daffy Duck waiting to pull the string.

I love Looney Tunes, I would happily see Daffy Duck set a mousetrap for Mickey and his 'oooh look at me, I'm a high pitched mouse and I'm sooooo proud of myself and my steamboat' demeanour and let Michigan J Frog dance on his grave :p
 
In both cases Disney needs to be badly mismanaged and/or fund a few doomed projects. Maybe releasing the Disney Sequels in theatres will get things going.
As for Lucasfilm Buying Disney, maybe have it less to do with Lucas Exclusively. Maybe Peter Jackson goes to Lucas to make the LOTR trilogy would be a good start, or something along thoose lines.
As for Marvel comics, have Super hero movies be taken seriously earlier on, and eventually have an entire seperate section of Marvel, Marvel Film, that makes movies other than just super hero movies. If the Hypothetical Marvel Film is strong enough it could produce a company strong enough to buy a weakened Disney Hypothetically.

Could always be a merger that's weighted to Marvel or Lucasfilm, say 60/40 of the new company.
 
One thing that might be interesting would be to have a Japanese company buy it during the bubble years. Maybe as a reaction to Sony buying Columbia in 1989, Toshiba/Matsushita/Sharp/etc decides they will also need both content and hardware to compete, and buys Disney?
 
I just thought could a european company buy a weakened Disney? I am German so I thought maybe Bertelsmann or even Mannesmann?

I think one day in the future I will wank Mannesmann :p
