ALL POSTSWhat if: Disney bought the Avatar franchise from Viacom
<p>Ok, bare with me. This might sound like complete crap, it probably is complete crap, but give it the benefit of the doubt and just come together and imagine for a second:
</p><p>What if Disney bought Avatar property from Viacom?
</p><p>Disney has a track record for making great film adaptions of popular media (i.e. The Avengers, their animated films) and not only bought bigger, more expensive franchises but have actually bought rights to properties that Viacom used to own (i.e. Indiana Jones, The Avengers, Iron Man 3 and the rest of Marvel). Spending about 5 billion each to obtain them, they even have Star Wars now which, like it or not, is one of the biggest franchises in the world, to for 5 billion.
</p><p>Now imagine for a moment that Disney decided to obtain a highly profitable franchise like Avatar and not only bring Legend of Korra to Disney Channel but also be able to produce an animated Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra film! They're already doing an animated adaption of a Marvel property, so a franchise already known for it's beautiful animation from the same studio that brought us The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Wreck-It Ralph and recently Frozen with the same writing and care as those films.
</p><p>Disney has bought more popular franchises in the past (Marvel's, Pixar's, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and the other Lucas franchises). All that have been released have been well-recieved box office hits (except for Cars, Cars 2 and Brave). So a franchise like Avatar is not only plausable, but the premise can easily appeal to audiences of all ages on the big screen just like how it did on the small screen. And before those saying they'll "Disney-fy" it, the Marvel films are still very much the same. And of course, no Shamalamadingdong making another sequel for the film unless he asks Disney to make one which I doubt.
</p><p>So what do you think? Would you like Disney to buy Avatar so we can have a true, good movie based on the franchise released? Give your thoughts below!

I disagree with you so much. Disney is nothing near to Avatar in terms of its plot and other elements [pun inteded]. OddParents and Danny Phantom are more than just childish shows if you watch them closely. In some aspects, they're a lot like Avatar. Same for Jimmy Neutron. You seriously underestimate Nickelodeon's ability to go hardcore with its animation. This is a no brainer. Disney is terrible for Avatar. </div> <p>Agreed about most of those shows not being childish. Until about 2007, even Sponebob wasn't childish. Jimmy Neutron was a greaet series. Fairly Oddparents is still good, but it tends to dissapear for like a year, than come back with a new character in a special. Danny Phantom was one of the greatest Nicktoons ever, on par with Avatar, Invader Zim, Jimmy Neutron, Catdog, Ren & Stimpy, and Doug.
Hell, even Dora can be somewhat enjoyable for any one older than 6 (although that whole talking to you when you don't answer her questions gets annoying) </p><p>To quote my ten year old self's convo with Dora: </p><p>"Where could it be? Do you think it's in the Cave" </p><p>"Up your butt and around the corner" </p><p>"That's right! Now we have to go in there and get it" </p>

I honesttly find the concept of this thread derailed. Seriously if Disney bought Avatar it would be put on XD and forgotten. There's the answer to the thread...

<p>I hope it NEVER EVER happens cuz I hate disney....My life of Avatar wou;d be ruined if it happened
</p>
(Edited by L.J.S guy)
<p>Why do you hate Disney. Seriously don't understand how people hate Disney. It is a cartoon company... Seriously they donate money to charity and actually stream there shows on there site... Don't get me wrrong, a majority of the program on the channel is mostly aweful, but the company isn't "evil".
