What if Comcast acquired The Walt Disney Company back in 2004?

As of 2019, The Walt Disney Company is one of the major media companies to be independently owned rather than owned by a larger company (e.g: Viacom and CBS Corporation by National Amusements, NBCUniversal by Comcast, WarnerMedia by AT&T and Columbia Pictures by Sony).

However, on February 11th, 2004, when the company was passing through some difficulties, Comcast Corporation made a $54.1 billion offer to acquire the company, just to be rejected by Disney's board of directors and eventually dropped out.

But what if Comcast was successful in that bid? Here's what might have happened.

List of changes

 * The company would be rebranded as Walt Disney Entertainment.
 * The pre-2004 Disney library would now be owned by Comcast.
 * Disney's film and television units would add a Comcast byline.
 * [keep Walt Disney Pictures]
 * [Touchstone more active]
 * Comcast wouldn't acquire NBCUniversal in 2011, probably remaining majority-owned by GE.
 * While Pixar Animation Studios would still be acquired by Disney, Marvel Entertainment would instead be acquired by Sony Pictures and Lucasfilm by 21st Century Fox.
 * As a result, the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be distributed by Columbia Pictures, while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. [still ABC or airing on CBS, NBC or Fox instead] and its animated shows would air instead on Cartoon Network (despite its parent company WarnerMedia owning rival DC Comics).
 * Disney wouldn't have acquired 20th Century Fox, remaining under Rupert Murdoch's hands.
 * Disney wouldn't do live-action remakes, safe for a PG-13 The Black Cauldron remake.
