disney princesas Article: Studios and Companies?

posted by LupinPrincess

Ok I have to clear up a confusion that people seem to have about Merida being pixar and not Disney.

You are mistaken.....notice that...at the start of every pixar movie, you see the disney logo start (the castle), then the pixar studio logo (the lamp)
and at the start of disney filmes you have the same disney logo and THEN the walt disney animation studio logo (steamboat Mickey)...

2 different studios owned por the SAME disney company.

disney owns the pixar studio, disney studio and several other branches that make other filmes like the live action ones, exct.

If disney was that separate from Pixar, why do they share technology now? pixar people worked on Rapunzel's hair. disney made the decision to make cars 2, disney has full use of Pixars characters for video games, characters at disney parks, rides at parks...the STUDIO of pixar and the COMPANY disney, are so enrolados and knotted together, that separation would be a horrendous complication of money, so don't expect it anytime soon.

Point blank...Disney has it's own studio, yes, and pixar is it's own studio...but not it's own company...Disney Is Pixar's company.

So technically...Merida IS indeed a disney princess (disney the company not the studio)

Swanpride Do you really think I'm not aware of the structure of the Disney Company? They are still two different studios. It makes a difference if I watch a Pixar movie, a Disney Animation Studios Movie, or a movie made by ToonDisney or any other of the small studios Disney uses from time to time to make a movie. The same way Gnomeo and Juliet is not a Disney movie, the same way a lot of productions Disney made are not counted between the 51 Disney masterpieces, Pixar's work doesn't belong in this list, nor should it. The studio has it's own success story and should stay as independent as possible. Making Merida a Disney princess is like saying that Toy Story is suddenly one of Disney's Masterpieces.

LupinPrincess Do you really think this article is directed at you specifically? Merida is a Disney company princess, not a disney studio princess...the disney princess franchise is based on the company NOT the studios...or can you not wrap your head around that difference? Otherwise they wouldn't be adding her under the disney name...oh shit, which...they ARE...so get over it

Jayden-G ^ No need to get mad. They made a new agreement that Pixar has to agree for Disney to use their characters (Disney has the right to, but Pixar still has to approve, so Pixar approved her being a disney princess. At the end of the day, WDAS and Pixar are two different studios that have two separate reputations and identities. Just because Disney bought Pixar does not mean it is part of their canon. If it was, that would be a whole mother thing. They distribute Pixar films. Just because they share technology does not make them one; I bet Dreamworks has similar or the same technology as well, but they are completely separate. What I do agree with you on is that the two studios are becoming indistinguishable and they are getting harder and harder to identify by the day. At the end of the day, people are still going to be fuzzy about Merida becoming a Disney Princess

Swanpride And that's exactly my problem...I like Pixar...I like Disney...but they are (to me) to different flavors, and mixing them is like eating sausages with vanilla sauce. This article basically implied that saying that Merida as a Pixar character doesn't belong into the line-up which consists exclusively of Animation Studio princesses is ignorant because Pixar is Disney, too. But I doubt that anyone has missed this, considering that the logo is clearly visible and Pixar is often referred to as "Disney/Pixar". So naturally you can argue that it's one company, but that doesn't make the argument that it's nevertheless two entirely different studios less valid.

rhythmicmagic The thing is, Disney DOESN'T count Pixar movies as Disney movies. If you look at a list of Disney animated movies, not one Pixar movie is on the list. Therefore, Disney does not count Pixar movies as Disney movies. If Disney itself makes the distinction, then how can you say it's wrong for us to? Besides, what's wrong with us discussing what we think about Merida joining before she joins? And that's kind of the thing we have a problem with. She comes from a different studio. We don't deny that Disney owns Pixar, but we want it to be just WDAS characters. Agree with Swanpride on the two companies mixing.

LupinPrincess Actually I made it clear that they are too different studios...even though they are starting to mix a bit.... I'm simply EXPLAINING how Merida can be under the disney princess name.... disney used to just distribute Pixar's movies, but as of 2006, disney became the literal Owners...that's their actual title... and when you look at a disney movies list...ur not looking at the company, you are looking at their studio only...but there IS a list under the name Walt Disney PICTURES, which includes Pixar's movies...because its not studio specific, just the company

anonheart998 Why is it such a big deal that the studios are mixing? Who cares? It's all Disney. Merida is joining the lineup, there is nothing anyone can do about it, and if you don't like it then just ignore her.
