Please tell me this is a joke. From Joss Whedon's Twitter feed --

I'm a big -- albeit not a BIG -- fan of the show. This seems almost...sacrilegious.

I would like to see more animation. (And Disney is moving away from the problematic Princesses.) I could see a happy partnership there, and given the close ties between Disney, ABC and Marvel, it's not impossible.

I think it would be a good medium for Mutant Enemy -- there are effects that can be done with animation that cannot happen with live action (and even CGI is tough.)

That happens to be fan art, but it could work.
