After the thing with Pixar, where they went from "we don't need you we can do this ourselves" to "wow, it's not working out so well" to "how much if we just buy you?" it's not surprising that they would want to be able to keep everything as much in-house and in the family as possible. Disney is nothing if not control-freaky. @scribblerworks: I agree.

So, when I appeared at the Disney booth, the folks there had me sit down and do free Disney sketches for hours at a time. Go figure. Maybe they don't mind if you do free ones or something, or at least stay under the radar. Beauty and the Beast sketches, anyone? Scribbler: Yeah, Disney hasn't done much with the Henson stuff.

Have we seen a really good Muppet movie since they acquired the Muppets? Nope. Have they made any moves on CrossGen properties other than to put out collected editions of titles that didn't have one? Nope. But it wouldn't surprise me if part of the move was not just getting their hands on the Marvel licenses, but also to have an already running publishing house, instead of having to farm things out to other publishers.

Maybe they look the other way because he's done so much great work for them, but it's incredibly easy to get a sketch of a duck from Don Rosa. I just keep singing the Spider-Mouse Club theme song in my head. The curse of interesting times.... Colleen, I don’t know about that Disney sketch business.

Disney is not mellow about this practice. BTW, Marvel has always been very mellow about allowing artists to do sketches of their works at shows and for private commissions.
