The recent wave of films based on comics makes me wonder about that, but there just doesn't seem to be the broad appeal that is so central to most of Disney's franchises. Even more 'narrow' brands that Disney has (Faries, princesses) haveenough variety to them that it's hard to not find at least one relatable character that you kind of like. With superheros, I think it's just too easy to see them all as the same, and make up some excuse to have no interest in them at all. That's what's happened to me.

I don't think it's appropriate to sit in the middle of one fan community and lob spitballs at the other just because we and our friends aren't into what they and their friends are into. That being said, I am not even marginally interested in anything to do with Marvel, and I think it will be a disaster if they're planning to integrate any Marvel properties into the existing theme parks. Hopefully they'll be content to just keep cashing Universal's royalty checks.

Originally Posted By utahjosh I'd rather see Pixar continue with original ideas and characters. However, they would make the best Marvel character movie ever.
Originally Posted By WilliamK99 I would love for Pixar to take some of the lesser known Marvel characters and make a movie out of it. I say lesser known because they would have a greater leeway in telling the story than someone popular with a set in stone origin... Pixar magic coupled with Marvel creativity would be absolutely incredible(pardon the pun)
Originally Posted By basil fan I had a hard time believing this when I heard it. I mean, after all, the Marvel heroes are all at Universal! That said, I think it's a better buy than Power Rangers. Although I stopped buying comics when the comics code ended, I still read my room full of back issues. Generally speaking, I've always preferred DC, but I do truly love super-heroes. I'm not all that sure what Disney can do with them, though.

IMO, it's a great fit, the visuals they will be able to do with this character will be amazing.... It makes sense for Pixar to be looking at some of Marvel's "C" characters to get the treatment, allowing them to be very liberal with the telling of the story, if they took someone well known they would be contrained by a known story... By using an unknown hero, Pixar will be able to do what they always do... make magic happen...
Originally Posted By WilliamK99 Yes he was, from what I am reading, it appears Pixar may be joining to do just the animation when he turns into the size of an ant while the rest of the movie would be live action....so he fits into the Avengers continuity Marvel is building up... IMO, with Avengers coming out in 2012, Ant Man would probably be released X-Mas of 2012 or March/April of 2013...
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>It appears the rumor's have already started and Ant-Man may be the first Marvel character to be Pixarized...<< Well, Pixar has always amazed me thus far, so I'll not question their judgement if this turns out to be true. But that said, I've seen Pixar do ants, and I've seen them do super heros, so thus far, this rumor doesn't get me all that excited.
