This week The Walt Disney Company completed its acquisition of 20th Century Fox. The joining of these two companies creates a massive entertainment juggernaut. It also brings a lot of Fox properties into the Disney fold. Seeing that 20th Century Fox was founded in 1935, there is a lot of content that has been churned out through the years. Some of it is obvious, however, while other titles might not be so blatantly apparent. Here is a look at many of the titles that Disney now owns.
