Just a funny thought...
Do you think Peanut gang is a great symbol for Apple? What values can Apple get if they buy Peanut or Wildbrain studio?
Let's you imagination run WILD guys :P

Well, Apple's into using Peanuts, its classic characters everyone knows and gets them into better competition with Disney for the kids audience. But there's no way WILD would sell Peanuts by itself, its their biggest IP and the one they've capitalised on the best. The current deal is a really great one, Apple pays for everything but owns nothing.

Everything has a price. If you can't buy something with money, come back and buy it with a lot of money :P

Well, they might have an easier time buying Sony's stake. But they don't need to buy it, the price they're paying is probably pretty great for them too. Its a win win for both parties.

You know, there was a man who worked at Apple while running his animation studio as a side project. Late on, he sold his studio for $7 bil. His name was Steve Jobs and his studio was Pixal. (https://www.biography.com/news/steve-jobs-pixar-animation-history). I bet you he would do it again if he was still alive.

LOL. Yeah, I know that story well. He bought Pixar from George Lucas for a song and when he sold it to Disney, he became the biggest shareholder of Disney. But that was still just his side project. I think his main thing back then was the iPad.
