One can hope; Disney provided two things to Spirited Away's success:
excellent voice talent and monster marketing. These are Disney's very
strong points as story telling and gorgeous animation are Miazaki's. Now,
should Disney continue in this vein with Pixar, adding its strengths and
leaving Pixar to do what IT does best (tell stories in fine animation)
that's indeed good news.
But I wonder how long Disney will resist the temptation to use the
animations as springboards for product sales, the way Lucas has so very
clearly done with devastating results for plot, story and characters in his
own franchise.
