All sorts of fun on Twitter today about the Disney acquisition of Marvel. A variety of folks weighed in with various mash-ups (mostly tagged with #disneymarvel and #disneymarvelcrossovers — the following is a small sample, and several of the ideas below were independently arrived at by other people as well).
theblairbutler: Escape from Scarlet Witch Mountain. Song of the South Coast Avengers. Lady Bullseye and the Tramp.
jimmyjaquino: Honey, I Blew Up the Rawhide Kid
the_afterlight: “Who is the monster and who is the man?” sing the bells of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youth!
Earth_2_Comics: Finding Zemo
DanxMcGowan: Pirates of the Caribbean : Iron Man’s Chest.
theblairbutler: The Nutty Professor X.
Grimloche: Snow White Queen and the 7 X-Men
Grimloche: Finding Namor
khaosworks: “Behold… MODUCK!”
chrisu: After lots of Disney/Marvel jokes, I still think @mattraub’s “Herb-E”, “Deadpooh” and “Finding Namor” are the best so far.
Polisurgist: Don’t forget the one they’ll keep under wraps: Song of the Skrulls
k: Other ideas: Mick Fury, Lilo and Snikt.
scrubninja: “Dances with Wolverine”
braingoblin: Honey, I transported the kids to the Negative Zone
Unmature: That’s So Kraven
openczun: Since Disney owns ABC, how about “Jean Grey’s Anatomy”…. hmmm
onimonkii: Beauty and Beast. That would actually work, Belle and Hank seem like a great pair.
MackReed: This is probably the best of all (from my friend Sam Whedon): Spider Pan
SeattleOtaku: Escape to Wundagore Mountain, Wasp the Love Bug, and She-Hulk Origins: The Green D.A.

Brian Bendis weighed in.
BRIANMBENDIS: bravo to @BrianReed for: “Face it Tigger, you just hit the jackpot!” now everyone can stop.
BRIANMBENDIS: no, i did not kill the wasp to make way for tinkerbell. but she would be a kick ass avenger
BRIANMBENDIS: RT @shurwitt: I’m looking forward to the @BRIANMBENDIS “House of Mouse” series. (Wanda: “No more ducks.”)
BRIANMBENDIS: THIS MAN, THIS HEFALUMP
BRIANMBENDIS: congrats to bambi’s mother on joining the cast of marvel zombies
And of course, there was Warren Ellis’ contribution:
warrenellis: Hm. Have been instructed to make Bambi a member of the X-Men.
warrenellis: I’m sure my new corporate overlords will enjoy the forthcoming graphic novel ASTONISHING X-MEN: DOE-EYED MEAT GEYSER.
And for my own contribution?
