This deal should be welcomed by Studio Ghibli fans. The reason we got to see Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle in our multiplexes was because John Lasseter (now the head of the Disney/Pixar animation studios) is a massive Miyazaki fan (and personal friend). This deal should increase the likelyhood of Disney still distributing future projects, such as Ghibli's new Tales of Earthsea movie.

Lasseter also intends to revive Disney's 2-D animation, which will be awesome.
