The Walt Disney Co. says it is acquiring Marvel Entertainment Inc. for $4 billion US in cash and stock, bringing characters like Iron Man and Spider-Man into the Disney family. [5]

The deal won’t have benefits right away, and Disney stock sank on the news. [1]

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. saw its shares shoot up Monday as news of a $4 billion acquisition of Marvel Entertainment Inc. by Walt Disney Co. ignited speculation that the animated filmmaker may also be a buyout candidate. [7]

On a conference call with investors, Iger said the deal will allow Disney to sell Marvel’s vast array of characters and properties across different media platforms and in many more markets. [3]

Another storied comic book maker, DC Comics, has been under the wings of a major studio since 1969, when Warner Bros. [8]

Disney expects a short-term profit hit, and Marvel characters from X-Men to Daredevil are locked up in deals with other movie studios and theme parks. [2]

As of the week ending February 8, 2009, Swift’s single “Love Story ” became the country song with most paid downloads in history and the first country song to top the Mainstream Top 40 chart. [...] The only other country artists this decade to achieve the number-one sales position for 20 weeks or more are The Dixie Chicks and Carrie Underwood. [...] In 2006, she released her debut single “Tim McGraw “, which peaked at number six on the Billboard country charts. [3]

The song drew upon her experience as a lovelorn high-school student, a theme that Swift revisited throughout her self-titled debut album. [2]

Well, the folks over at Disney have put their Emmy award winning TV movie Eloise at Christmastime, based on the book by Hollywood lyricist and ensemble singer Kay Thompson, out on DVD shelves in time for the Holiday season. [1]

Eloise is the name of the protagonist in a series of children’s books written by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hilary Knight. [2]

Adapted from the first of Kay Thompson’s best-selling series of children’s books, Eloise at the Plaza made its debut on ABC’s Wonderful World of Disney in the spring of 2003. [3]

I reached into my secret stash of Christmas gifts and pulled out the Eloise movie (recently purchased). [4]

The itsy bitsy Entertainment Company (TibECo) announced that it has lined up its key production team for the first Eloise movie. [5]

Eloise is a six-year-old girl who lives in the “room on the tippy-top floor” of the Plaza Hotel in New York with her Nanny, her pug dog Weenie, and her turtle Skipperdee. [2]

Kay Thompson’s literary classic comes to life in this TV movie starring a free-spirited 6-year-old living in New York’s Plaza Hotel. [4]

The Plaza’s most rambunctious resident and her illustrator are coming home to The Plaza! [6]

The itsy bitsy Entertainment Company (TibECo) announced today its expansion into family films and has acquired the motion picture and allied rights to Kay Thompson and Hillary Knight’s classic series of Eloise books. [5]

This film adaptation could very easily have added Eloise to the long list of annoying child characters that the movies have given us. [3]

This is her website containing everything about her, information on the books, her author Kay Thompson, her illustrator Hilary Knight and much more! [6]

In 2006, an animated television series based on the characters of the books, premiered on Starz! [2]

She halted publication of the books five years after the first volume was published because she felt that spin-off items were of poor quality and that the character’s charm was being diluted by commercialism. [...] As fans of the series know, Eloise is a spunky, precocious 6-year-old who lives with her pets and her nanny in Manhattan’s pricey Plaza Hotel. [5]

We learn all about Eloise, Nanny, her “rawther” British nanny, her dog Weenie who looks like a cat, and her turtle Skipperdee who eats raisins and wears sneakers. [6]
