Does this mean that we can somehow get Disney Infinity x Amiibo of Peach and Rosalina?

Vignocchi already said he want to work with Nintendo on something for infinity.

Nintendo + Pixar = Heaven

No. Nintendo plus Disney Animation Studio. Keep Pixar away.

I never thought I'd agree, but I do.

 

[vinnygambini]

Nintendo + Pixar = Heaven

Pixar has turned to shit, couldn't stand Inside Out.

Let Disney Animation helm the project.

On a side note, I don't see the benefit for Disney. Disney films are a marketing vehicle for their consumer products & theme parks division. They get no ancillary revenue from Nintendo. Don't believe it.

 

[AdanVC]

In the near future:

"And the Oscar for Best Actor goes to... Waluigi!"

And Leo Dicaprio still waiting for his omfg

[ultrazilla]

The Legend of Zelda from Pixar. It needs to happen.

There is a thing called merchandise. And Nintendo could make some games, lend their IPs etc

Nah

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

I'm pretty sure there is already footage of their first collaboration set in the Nintendo cinematic universe.

They picked the right character too.

 

[Ranger X]

Pixar & Disney Animation working on stuff like Kid Icarus would be insane.

Working on anything Nintendo it would be Earth exploding unbelievable!

 

[random25]

But I need my Smash anime more...

Hope they can make some awesome movie adapted from games.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Nah

What would you want instead

 

[Oersted]

What would you want instead

Let Cartoon Saloon have it

 

[vinnygambini]

And the merchandise monies goes to Nintendo, not Disney...

.

It's true (personally for me atleast)

 

[fredrancour]

)

Depends on the contracts they sign.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

I'd like to see them tackle Nintendo properties with no real narrative to screw up. A great rocky type movie using the Punchout characters would be great. Can't really screw that up.

 

[vinnygambini]

Depends on the contracts they sign.

Of course it does, but then you would have two separate entities dictating what to do with that said property. Disney likes to own, and reap the rewards entirely for itself - it doesn't make sense for them unless Nintendo & Disney establish a joint-venture akin to TPC where it handles licensing, films, tv shows, etc.

 

[4Tran]

Depends on the contracts they sign.

Nintendo isn't going to sign away their core IP merchandising rights to Disney, and Disney won't be interested in anything less than that.

 

[poodaddy]

I adore Nintendo, despise Disney, and abhor video game movies....so I'm not sure where this places me. That being said, if it's good for Nintendo then I'm happy for them and I hope they make some great revenue out of this.

 

[Matt]

Seems strange that they would have made their theme park deal with Universal, but a movie deal with Disney...

 

[FoneBone]

Sounds great, but I wonder what Disney would gain from the deal, though? I mean it's not like their animated films are struggling to make money with original IPs attached to them.

i have a hard time thinking about what disney would actually dedicate their valuable time to when it comes to a feature length film. i'm sure they'd rather own the franchise completely like they do frozen or cars.

Yeah, this doesn't pass the smell test at all.

 

[kennyamr]

this is X company talking about Y company.
it's no more than predictions and guesses.
Not better than random "what if" posts on the Internet.

 

[Rootbeer]

I honestly didn't know Disney owned all of the KH charaters...

Soo... why they dragging their feet on Kingdom Hearts in Infinity? GAH i'm so frustrated with Disney now >.<

Yes I know there is a keyblade unlock in DI 3.0

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Pixar and Nintendo would be a perfect marriage of two creative giants past their prime that everyone either still loves blindly or hates irrationally who have lost their way but shouldn't be counted out

 

[nintendors]

Actually a disney / pixar take on Zelda Wind Waker Link and Hyrule has the potential to be the 2nd coming.

 

[Koyuga]

No Pixar, please.

 

[The Giant]

Sony Pictures are doing the animated Mario movie. Judging by one of the emails where Avi was excited that they got the rights for it and possibly the rights for a Smash Bros movie.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Depends. They could get game support from Nintendo. There could also be hooks built into the NX that are beneficial to Disney in some way.

 

[CrisKre]

A Retro Studios made Epic Mikey would be amazing.

A Disney made Pikmin CG movie would be glorious.

Lets do this.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I think Disney already has enough on their plates in terms of parks. I still can't believe they're going through with Avatar Land.

Do you mean Avatar as in James Cameron?! Yuck.

 

[DeathPeak]

Give me this! Hand Zelda off to Ghibli. Don't care what they do with the others.

 

[Rodin]

Nintendo+WDAS making animated movies of Mario, Zelda, Pokémon and DK or a Nintendo/Disney crossover would be a dream (i actually don't understand how this didn't happen in videogames after KH's success). I'm on board as long as Pixar stays the fuck away from something like this.

 

[4Tran]

Depends. They could get game support from Nintendo. There could also be hooks built into the NX that are beneficial to Disney in some way.

This is worth almost nothing to Disney. What they want is to create new IPs so popular that they can sustain figures up to $2B in merchandising revenue per year. How can Nintendo offer them anything like that?

 

[massoluk]

Sony said any Nintendo movie also had to star Knack in some shape or form. So Nintendo bailed.

Same shit happened when Square insisted Lightning must be included in Final Fantasy X Fire Emblem crossover

 

[roytheone]

Give me this! Hand Zelda off to Ghibli. Don't care what they do with the others.

Does Ghibli even make movies anymore? I thought they were on some kind of "break".

 

[AniHawk]

i think the problem nintendo had was that knack was too edgy.

 

[MisterHero]

Sony said any Nintendo movie also had to star Knack in some shape or form. So Nintendo bailed.

Is that from the leaked emails?

Same shit happened when Square insisted Lightning must be included in Final Fantasy X Fire Emblem crossover

wait WHAT

 

[Jonneh3003]

Going to be a good Nintendo E3 this year.

 

[Zalman]

Seems strange that they would have made their theme park deal with Universal, but a movie deal with Disney...

Yeah, that's the main reason why I find it hard to believe.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Splatoon seems up Disney's alley for some reason.

 

[Roo]

Imagine all of those amiibo in Toy Story 4

Actually that would be a brilliant idea.

 

[tolkir]

Sony Pictures are doing the animated Mario movie. Judging by one of the emails where Avi was excited that they got the rights for it and possibly the rights for a Smash Bros movie.

Not true, they were in conversations. After the leaks and knowing Nintendo Ninjas, it's very possible Sony was rejected.

After publication, Arad denied to BuzzFeed News via email that the Super Mario deal had closed, saying his negotiations with Nintendo were &#8220;just the beginning.&#8221;

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Actually that would be a brilliant idea.

[casinoman921]

Nintendo and Pixar can reboot Donkey Kong Country.

 

[Malyse]

Pixar has turned to shit, couldn't stand Inside Out.

that's a pretty wrong opinion.

I honestly didn't know Disney owned all of the KH charaters...

Soo... why they dragging their feet on Kingdom Hearts in Infinity? GAH i'm so frustrated with Disney now >.<

Yes I know there is a keyblade unlock in DI 3.0

Because KH has made a fraction of the money that their movies have in spite of manga, games, art books, music and everything else. Disney also has had Spectrobes

Spoiler

Don't rest in peace, fucking come back

, Epic Mickey and other game projects not turn much profit. In fact, until Infinity made them a fuckton of cash, they had virtually abandoned gaming. KH is 4.0 though.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Weren't Nintendo and SONY in discussions for movie rights?

Nintendo probably went to Disney the day after.

Seriously though, Nintendo movies made by Disney would be the best thing ever.
Quite honestly, I don't think anyone else could even do the IPs justice.

Please let this be more than just Mario and Luigi appearing in Wreck-It Ralph 2.

 

[Litri]

Nintendo + Pixar = Heaven

This.

 

[hpkomic]

Getting the team back together I see.

 

[James Scott]

Getting the team back together I see.

What's that?

 

[HandsomeCharles]

What's that?

Playing cards. Back when Nintendo was in the old paper 'biz, they got a licensing deal with Disney to distribute playing cards with Disney characters on them.

Edit: More Info.
