Marvel Deal Will Rejuvenate Disney

As I mentioned on Monday, Disney's (DIS) acquisition of Marvel Entertainment (MVL) is a 'money' deal for both companies - in my opinion, and while shares of MVL traded up to nearly forty dollars, DIS could still be had in the mid $20s, and I love the future prospects of Disney right now.

The 5,000+ 'Marvel Universe' of super heroes and villains added to Disney's existing reach and character base gives the company the market in everything kids - Princesses for the girls and Super Heroes for the boys.

It's only a matter of time before Spider Man has a guest appearance on ESPN's Sportcenter.

I never thought Disney was on the way out, but I think this deal will rejuvenate the company and - with Disney's existing production infrastructure - we can only expect the best from future super hero movies from here on out.

I've added DIS to the kids' IRA funds, and my own, and I'll be adding on any dips.

Disclosure: VFC is long DIS, no position MVL.
