Disney will buy Marvel!

Disney is going to buy Marvel for $4 Billion! …

Walt Disney Co said on Monday it plans to buy Marvel Entertainment Inc for $4 billion in a deal that would add characters like Iron Man, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four to its entertainment empire.

Disney is striking the biggest media deal of the year so far — one that will unite the Incredible Hulk and Mickey Mouse — at a time when the media business is struggling to cope with spending cutbacks by both consumers and advertisers.

Marvel, however, has a stable of wildly popular characters that it has brought to the big screen in home-run films like “Iron Man.” A sequel, “Iron Man 2″ is due to hit the theaters next year, while “Thor,” “Spider-Man 4″ and the first “Avenger” movie are slated for a 2011 release.

For Disney, movies like those should help address a key area of concern among investors: How it can better reach more young males.

Indeed, Disney has long been a blockbuster brand with girls thanks to characters like “Hannah Montana,” “Cinderella” and “Snow White,” but has struggled to achieve the same kind of success with boys.

To do so, Disney agreed to pay $50 per share in cash and stock for Marvel, a premium of 29 percent to Marvel’s closing stock price of $38.65 on Friday. The deal has been approved by the boards of both companies.

Marvel’s shares shot up to $48.85 in early trade.

Shares of Disney, which will acquire ownership more than 5,000 Marvel characters, dropped about 1.7 percent in early trade. The company’s finance chief said the deal should close by year-end.

Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own.

“(Marvel shareholders are) getting a good deal in my opinion,” said Arvind Bhatia, an analyst with Sterne, Agee & Leach

Japan’s DPJ crushes LDP: Sayonara PM Taro Aso!

Something unheard in many years in Japan, finally happened…Japanese just said…”Yes, We can”

null

Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso announced his resignation as head of the party that has governed Japan for decades following its apparent landslide defeat in elections Sunday.

Japan’s voters, fed up with the party that has governed the country for decades, gave the opposition an enormous landslide victory in parliamentary elections Sunday, exit polls suggest.

The polls indicate the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) may have won a 3-to-1 victory over the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Aso congratulated the DPJ in a televised appearance as the country waited for official results.

Yukio Hatoyama, the DPJ leader, was restrained in his first public comments since the vote.

“I hope this victory will be for the people of Japan,” said the man who is poised to be Japan’s next prime minister.

In Washington, the White House issued a statement Sunday saying that U.S. President Barack Obama looks forward to “working closely” with the new Japanese prime minister.

“We are confident that the strong U.S.-Japan Alliance and the close partnership between our two countries will continue to flourish under the leadership of the next government in Tokyo,” the White House statement said.

Hatoyama, who has been touting an Obama-style message of change, was mobbed at street rallies by supporters during the campaign — the kind of support the opposition has never seen before.

He pledged to raise the minimum wage and discourage hiring through agencies or on temporary contracts.

That message is gaining traction in a country that is witnessing historic highs in unemployment and experiencing ramifications like homelessness for the first time.

Voters at polling stations told CNN they wanted change and wanted to give new leaders a chance, even if they were not sure what policies would replace the ones that have run the world’s second-largest economy for more than a generation.

Lines at polling places spilled out into Tokyo streets Sunday as Japanese citizens showed up in what seemed to be record levels.

Masayuki Nakamura, who voted for the DPJ, said he did so because he was frustrated with the lack of an economic policy as Japan emerges from its worst recession since World War II.

“Maybe with this change of party, something will change,” Nakamura said. “That’s what I’m expecting. The money’s been going the wrong way. I hope the money will now go toward jobs and creating a safety net.”

Before the election, poll after poll suggested the vote would oust the ruling LDP from power.

The LDP has been in nearly continuous control of Japan’s parliament for more than 50 years. But the country’s economic crisis has disgruntled many who are displeased with how slowly the country is emerging from the downturn.

Polls show the opposition, the DPJ, will snag more than 300 of the 480 seats up for grabs in the lower house of Japan’s parliament.

If the DPJ does win a majority, it will be the first time it will govern the country.

Although a victory for the opposition would be of tremendous significance politically, it is too early to tell what practical impact it will have.

Outgoing Prime Minister Aso’s approval ratings dwelled in the teens, and his stimulus packages, while credited with lifting the economy slightly out of recession, are not being credited with helping households feel more secure about a lasting economic recovery.

It has been an interesting coverage on PM Taro Aso as He was always involved in Anime and Manga news. Now that he is out of the picture, We wonder what will happen with some of his projects related to Anime and Manga. Only time will tell, but surely, this election was historical and lets hope this can change things in a positive way.
