All Of The Companies That Disney Owns
Why Mickey, you have certainly been a very busy mouse. Please Pass Go!!! Please Do Collect $200!!! You could say that Disney has built quite the monopoly. Hotels included. Several years ago, Marvel wanted and hoped to get back the Fantastic Four. Twentieth Century Fox greenlit a film at the last minute just so they could hold on to the right. We all remember that box office disaster. Well, since Fox wouldn't play fair, what does Disney do? Buys the whole company, of course, for 71.3 Billion dollars. Got to spend money to make money, I guess. But the question is, how many companies does Disney own?

Mama Mia that's a spicy meatball
Alka-seltzer: A memorable commercial A television commercial came to mind today that I thought was promoting Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs. When I looked it up the 1969 ad was actually for Alka-Seltzer. This just shows how the mind can forget some details over a period of 5 decades. The actor in the ad was Jack Somack who was in two Broadway plays, Paris Is Out!, and The Prisoner of Second Avenue.

First Look At 'Return to Hogwarts' Special. Top Story - December 2021.
On June 26, 1997, the world changed forever when J.K. Rowling, a nobody author, published a book that signaled in a new era. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was released on this date. With each subsequent release, the hype around the “Potterverse” grew. It wasn’t long before a movie production company saw the opportunity and pounced, creating a franchise that can have a movie poster with no movie title on it and everyone still knows what movie it is. On November 14, 2001, the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released. The year 2021 marks 20 years since the film’s release. And with that, there have been celebrations around the world, but none quite so surprising and exciting as the announcement that the cast of Harry Potter had gotten together to film a special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.

Blade Almost Appeared In Person In Eternals Credits Scene
The post-credits scene for Marvel's Eternals nearly featured an in-person appearance from Mahershala Ali's Blade. Though MCU movies are known for their interconnected nature, this fall's Eternals managed to largely stand on its own. The movie, which was directed by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, introduced the titular cosmic team to the franchise in a millennia-spanning story. The Eternals all possess special abilities that aid them in their mission to fight the Deviants, an evil race of aliens who prey on humans. And yet, though it told a contained story, Eternals still found time to set up future MCU projects.
