As I’m sure you heard, Disney bought 20th Century Fox for $52 billion today. And I’m sure your first thought was, what does this mean for The Simpsons?

While we don’t know exactly, we will gladly speculate while ruminating on the fact that, for 28 years, the longest-running animated show has dunked on the Big Mouse company over and over again. 

While we don’t know about how the show’s new overlords will treat the beloved show, it could very well mean good things for fans.

With Disney’s $52 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the world’s greatest children’s entertainment behemoth now gets the foundation for distribution platforms to match. 

In other words: The kids content steaming wars are on. And — this should go without saying — where there are kids’ attention spans, there’s a ton of money to be made.

While talk of cord-cutter culture is usually centered around millennials, it’s worth remembering that they’re not all young adults living in big cities with roommates, Slack rooms, group chats, and haute weed habits. Plenty of them have small, demanding, freeloading roommates with sugar habits. You may know them as “children.”  Read more…

Disney just bought Fox for $52 billion and now owns, among other things, the Merc with the Mouth. Ryan Reynolds quickly shared a photo of Deadpool being escorted from the Disneyland premises with the caption “Apparently you can’t blow the Matterhorn.”

Deadpool is known for his unsavory comments and a formidable level of snark that brought the 2016 film an R rating (not to mention blockbuster success).
