In order for that to work, the company would have to be financially unstable. Sonic a multi billion dollar franchise and fans have always looked forward to every new media. Disney won’t be able to handle the angry toxic Sonic fans that would harass the company and even receive death threats which would be too risky.
Disney, there are two things you don’t do in this life: 1.) Get into a fist fight with a muffin 2.) Lose your mind over a blue hedgehog and expect him to fold
@Envy-Animations I used to like Disney but with the live action remakes it’s hard to like them trying to rewrite the past and failing miserably only creating a cash grab based on nothing but nostalgia barely making a good film in the process. I thought for sure Sonic 3 would beat Mufasa in the long run since a lot more heart, creativity, and effort went into making the film Mufasa looked rushed telling by the trailer and the “ I always wanted a brothaaa “ song is terrible
Well, there are 3 things standing in the way of that: 1.) Nintendo 2.) Sonic Fans 3.) Oversea laws Soooo, no, don't think it works and would not be easy for Disney to do so.
@@2ndspringtube708 Sega is a major partner of Nintendo and I don’t think they would wanna lose out on that money that they would get from sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games
I remember Microsoft tried to buy Sega due to sonic manias success and Sega laughed in their faces so no I think history will repeat itself here (hopefully)
People genuinely forget how powerful Sega is in Japan, especially with their ties to the underworld. This whole Disney fearmongering needs to stop already.
My favorite part of all this is that initial tweet was made by a shitposting account and was meant to be a satirical joke but obviously everyone thought it was legitimate because buying a company out of spite is exactly something Disney would do
The fact that Sonic is busting up Mufasa notwithstanding, Disney has actually been advised to buy out a games studio some time ago, and Sega is certainly full of fancy IPs, so they would be a choice.
just a quick correction it was paramount who fixed the design ,sega never liked that orignal design but since they already made a deal and contract about the movies rights with paramount they couldn't do anything ,and as for why it changed it wasn't because "sonic fans" but because the entire internet and gaming community absolutely would not watch this movie just because of the blue rat they saw making sure that the project is going to be a flop financially ,and for that the redesign HAD to happen to please the potential audience for the film and sonic fans with one stone to ensure financial success
@@2ndspringtube708 True. I did mix up paramount and Sege with the og design for the sonic movies. But my point of people banning together to change the design still stands. Those same people would probably boycott any new Sonic media if Disney took it over. But yes my mistake. I forgot it was Paramount and not Sega. Thank you for pointing that out.
Even if the rumors are fake, it's definitely scary to think about ever since Disney could do that if they wanted to. They have a habit to buy out companies only to have them turn to dust days latter...looking at you blue skies and Fox. and not to mention if they did...they will deal with the Sonic fans which we are super vocal about it. thank goodness for Nintendo and the overseas laws.
So true. When I learned about Blue Skies I was just really shocked. I haven't seen all their animations but I'd seen Epic. And it's one of my favorite animated movies (Next to HTTYD). So for them to get obliterated like that was sad to find out.
It was Paramount who fixed the first character design of Movie Sonic, but I have heard that SEGA was along with us of who was telling that studio to fix that awful design up so that that character would look more like his videogame counterpart. Anyways, I think that it's very unlikely that SEGA would agree on merging with Disney especially because of the lying and screen-stealing cheating stuff that that company has currently been doing to get their garbage cash-grab Mufasa movie, (that no one asked for) to make more money than Sonic 3. That Japanese videogame company wouldn't want to merge with a company that has been easily exposed for a whole bunch of years to be quite corrupt and had also recently done them dirty in this box-office situation. Along with how obvious that every fan worldwide who has heard about this hopefully fake rumor, has been strongly protesting for them to never agree on it if Disney actually does try to merge with them. I've also heard that there's some rules in Japan that make buying that company be an illegal thing for Disney to do, so Disney pretty much isn't even allowed to do it.
It could be illegal? Wow I didn't know that. And I agree with all your other points. I actually found out about all the underhanded stuff Disney was doing to get ahead of sonic 3 after I made my voiceover and such. So yeah that's absolutely a great point.
@MediaMisfit-06 I don't know what those rules are but someone said some stuff about it possibly being illegal, so I hope that that's 100% true because that makes it be totally unlikely that Disney would be able to get their hands on that chilli-dog loving blue hedgehog.
@@Hedgie3 I can totally see Japan having such policies on foreign companies as a means of enforcing the "Do your own garbage, don't mess with us" mentality. Or something like that.

Atlus is a company owned by Sega, Atlus has had non-stop success since they released Persona 5 in 2016 and had their most successful year ever in 2024 with Persona 3 reload, Metaphor Refantazio, SMT 5 Vengeance, and Persona 5 the Phantom X, the first 3 all sold over 1 million in a few days and P5X is a successful Japanese gacha game, that combined with the Sonic movies and frontiers and sonic x shadow gens, i don't think sega has any money problems
@@MediaMisfit-06 I think they meant the other way around. Sega is Japanese, but Rovio is not; so Sega can buy Rovio. Rovio is not Japanese and Sega is; so Rovio couldn't buy Sega.
IIRC, American laws sorta have a limit on how much of a monopoly a company should be, so I assume Disney buying Sega would not happen. Of course, Sega has bought Finnish company Rovio & generally owns several studios around the world, so I assume Japan doesn't have monopoly laws as strict as American law(not that it was that strict to begin with, knowing Microsoft's buyout of Activision Blizzard, which in itself was a monopoly in some sense), but still. Sega could buy Disney probably, but Disney couldn't buy Sega.
The person who said that rumor btw just makes memes and probably did it for clout I think due to the public's outrage over this joke is telling Disney to not buy Sega and Sonic I do think they will try to make their own video game adaptation movie though
The Disney Empire is on its way out first they lose the box office to the sonic movie three now in 2025 they lose even more of their mascot Mickey Mouse to the public domain this year the first cartoon with Mickey’s voice has been released to the public domain they don’t even legally own his original voice now

Sega should know that Disney doesn’t do gaming the most they’ve done in the gaming market is kingdom hearts, which is pretty successful, but Disney has said they don’t do gaming much. They said they wanted to expand into it eventually but again other than kingdom hearts, Disney games haven’t really been successful SEGA should know that they should keep on with this sonic Renaissance that they have going for them and don’t let Disney buy them out and ruin that.
If Disney bought Sonic from SEGA they’d only make it worse telling by what they did with Star Wars, Marvel, ect. They’d probably race swap Maria like they do with their other live action films and same with Robotnik. It wouldn’t be great but I highly doubt SEGA will give up Sonic after all he is their iconic character, the face of SEGA like how Mario is the face of Nintendo.
@@MediaMisfit-06 You didn’t miss anything. I should have said they definitely wouldn’t be able to handle the Nintendo fanbase. I said that because Disney wants to buy Nintendo.
No I found that out during my research. But at least to my knowledge Sega isn't controlled by SCSK Corporation. And I think Sega still has free reign, even buying out other companies themselves.
