Well, Disnay isn't only Mickey Mouse etc... they also own several TV stations here in the US, like ABC, who have the series Lost, Desperate Housewives and others. They have a HUGE influence in the market and it can only be good for Apple with Steve Jobs' influence in the Board of Directors.

How can you not like Disney movies.

Beauty and the Beast? Snow White?  Bambi?  Cinderlla?  Robin Hood?  The Little Mermaid?

Pfff.  In fact I just watched Beauty and the Beast the other day and it was great.

Steve Jobs owns 51% of Disney, which in turn owns ABC.  Should be interesting to see what happens.
