Disney's never been in the business of cenitarg original ideas: Alice and Wonderland, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Snow White, Tarzan, and on and on and on and on, and it's all a new take on something else. Independent creatives come up with original IPs, Disney buys them. Marvel has so many stories yet to tell on film (that it's already told in one way or another as comics, though much of that swiped from others) that Disney would not repeat itself after a hundred years of non-stop Marvel movie making and an entire Marvel TV soap opera network devoted to it. What you wrote about forcing Pixar to make sequels to pay off the purchase price might be right, but Robert Iger is looking backward because he's a businessman and that's where the money is. The art and success of storytelling is always about looking back, remixing past experiences, trying to understand them. Like memory, that is what storytelling is for. That and, like religion, filling the gaps in knowledge.Disney is quickly becoming what the Catholic Church was 500 years ago, a powerful storytelling entity, reinvisioning old myths for new generations. And yes, like the church, it narrows the choices creatives have. If they don't want to live and work in obscurity, they may have to play into the current corporate take on our ever changing mythology. But if all they want to do it create, then they're as free as anyone has ever been.
