Disney to Acquire Marvel Entertainment. Mickey Mouse Owns Spiderman!
Worldwide leader in family entertainment agrees to acquire Marvel and its portfolio of over 5,000 characters
Acquisition highlights Disney’s strategic focus on quality branded content, technological innovation and international expansion to build long-term shareholder value
An investor conference call will take place at approximately 10:15 a.m. EDT / 7:15 a.m. PDT August 31, 2009. Details for the call are listed in the release.
BURBANK, Calif. & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Building on its strategy of delivering quality branded content to people around the world, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) has agreed to acquire Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:MVL) in a stock and cash transaction, the companies announced today.
Under the terms of the agreement and based on the closing price of Disney on August 28, 2009, Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. At closing, the amount of cash and stock will be adjusted if necessary so that the total value of the Disney stock issued as merger consideration based on its trading value at that time is not less than 40% of the total merger consideration.
Based on the closing price of Disney stock on Friday, August 28, the transaction value is $50 per Marvel share or approximately $4 billion.
“This transaction combines Marvel’s strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney’s creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories,” said Robert A. Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company. “Ike Perlmutter and his team have done an impressive job of nurturing these properties and have created significant value. We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney.”
“We believe that adding Marvel to Disney’s unique portfolio of brands provides significant opportunities for long-term growth and value creation,” Iger said.
“Disney is the perfect home for Marvel’s fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses,” said Ike Perlmutter, Marvel’s Chief Executive Officer. “This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney’s tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world.”
Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of Marvel including its more than 5,000 Marvel characters. Mr. Perlmutter will oversee the Marvel properties, and will work directly with Disney’s global lines of business to build and further integrate Marvel’s properties.
The Boards of Directors of Disney and Marvel have each approved the transaction, which is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, certain non-United States merger control regulations, effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to Disney shares issued in the transaction and other customary closing conditions. The agreement will require the approval of Marvel shareholders. Marvel was advised on the transaction by BofA Merrill Lynch.

Mad Men Returns and Reviewed
USA Today gives it four stars (out of four) and says:
… There is always meaning to Mad Men’s madness and passion under its control, along with an uncommon level of style, flair and wit. On a TV shelf crowded with cookie-cutter products, Mad Men is an original. You don’t have to buy it, but you should at least try it out. …
Entertainment Weekly gives it an “A-minus” and says:
… As with so much about Mad Men, some of it is overheated but never half-baked, and the opening hour rises like a nearly flawless soufflé of sex and salesmanship. … New business strategies (firings, job shifts) get implemented by the ad agency’s new owners, embodied by Fringe’s Jared Harris, who is dry, conniving, and quietly contemptuous of his American counterparts. Hoo boy, is this Brit going to be a jolly good villain to secretly root for!
The New York Times says:
… Over dinner, an eager stewardess chirps to Don about her travels. His reply is typically inscrutable. “I keep going to a lot of places and ending up somewhere I’ve already been,” he says. It’s the third season, and we still want to go with him.
The Los Angeles Times says:
… This is a moral drama, a show about deciding who you are and who you want to be, of character as the sum of small choices. There are no heroes or villains here, only people working out or being carried toward their individual destinies. And in who we root for and in what we root for them to choose, we also define ourselves.
The Washington Post says:
… Never has a show soared to such critical altitude and niche devotion on the art of the cold stare, the unfinished sentence, the trailing plot point. … Everything “Mad Men” claims to be about — from the deception of advertising and the idea that nothing and no one are really as they seem; to the moments just before postmodern American culture exploded; to the imbalances of gender, sexuality and sometimes race, then and now — it comes by in such a subtle way that at times it has been quite irresistible. But also disappointing. Boring, somehow. Heretical as it may seem to say, “Mad Men” is the truest example of style over substance. It is shackled by its attention to subtle detail and early-1960s clothing, objects and furniture.
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Beyond being the finest series on television, “Mad Men” is both ambitious and exquisite, two of the ultimate rarities in the business. The Season 3 premiere on Sunday begins and ends with two wonderfully conceived and executed scenes and, when the hour closes, it leaves no doubt about its lofty goals. “Mad Men” wants to be indelibly brilliant. And after two seasons of accomplishing just that, there’s no reason given in the premiere to have any doubts about the third. …
The Newark Star Ledger says:
… remains the best show on television. … I enjoyed the season two premiere, but I imagine that its sedate, introspective style was a turn-off to the new viewers who were lured in by the $25 million promotional blitz AMC launched for that season. Sunday’s episode feels much more like a typical hour of “Mad Men,” yet it’s also far more welcoming of new viewers. The hour offers up office intrigue, romantic complications and a classic Don Draper pitch, not to mention the usual brilliant acting from all involved. …
The Boston Herald says:
… Despite the welcome humor, Weiner can’t give up the heavy-handed tricks he learned while scripting “The Sopranos.” … Like “The Sopranos” before it, “Mad Men” only has a 13-episode order. You just want to yell at the TV: Hurry up and use the time. Stop being stylish and start getting real. …
The Boston Globe says:
… In even the smallest details – watch how a stick pin travels through the episode – “Mad Men’’ remains TV at its most artful. Like Don Draper, it’s beautiful, stealthy, troubling, and, above all, addictive. …
The Hollywood Reporter says:
… A return to form, spellbinding and elusive as Don Draper himself. … As a “Sopranos” alumnus, the “Mad Men” executive producer graduated from the David Chase School of Storytelling. You not only don’t give the viewers what they want, you confound them by toying with their expectations. Maybe you even make them question those expectations in the first place. Want tidy resolutions to cliffhangers? Go watch “Desperate Housewives.” …
Variety says:
… Despite series creator Matthew Weiner’s “The Sopranos”-like approach of telling the stories he wants at the pace that suits him, the first hour hits the ground running a little bit faster, creating interesting plot lines for several of the returning characters while adding a compelling new presence. …
Google Tricycle automatically blurs faces
So the Google Tricycle is hitting Europe, going off road. The California search engine leader has hired two cyclists to ride through Paris gardens, historical sites and other pedestrian-only areas on the device to take thousands of digital photos. For example, the are biking through the gardens of France’s Chateau de Versailles. The only difference this time, they are blurring the faces of the people they drive by:
To respect people’s privacy, Google has installed software that recognizes license plates and people’s faces and automatically blurs them, Dauba-Pantanacce said. Google will then choose the best photos among the thousands taken. The blurring comes to meet privacy concerns. – from MSNBC
Music legends comment on the passing of Les Paul
Les Paul, who pioneered the design of the solid-body electric guitar and multitrack recording, died on Thursday at a New York hospital of complications from pneumonia. He was 94. Following are comments from guitarists and music industry figures on his passing:

“Les Paul set a standard for musicianship and innovation that remains unsurpassed. He was the original guitar hero, and the kindest of souls.” — guitarist Joe Satriani.
Lego, The Movie?!
Warner Bros. is toying with plans to develop a movie around Lego and its popular building blocks. Scribes Dan and Kevin Hageman are penning the script for the family comedy that will mix live action and animation.
