Look, it’s really just way too early to tell. You’ll be reading all sorts of prognostications from all sorts of pundits, but there is no way to know for a fact what a movie (or movies) will be like until we actually see it. So, for fun, we’re going to rewatch that first video a few times, and every time it gets to the signing part we’re going to add a different, company-appropriate soundtrack. Maybe the Darth Vader theme – uh oh, this doesn’t look good. Then maybe “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from the Toy Story soundtrack – hey, they’re nice people at Disney, this is going to be just fine. See?

We’ll keep you posted…
