I’m as surprised as the next person, but Sanrio owns a company called Kokoro Dreams (Kokoro means heart in Japanese) and having heard that I was on the lookout for something cute…instead I discovered an animatronics company that does Actroid Robots, you know, like robots except they look human, very close to human form and somewhat frightening! She won’t ever age for one!

I don’t really know what kind of business Sanrio has in this industry….and I only found out about this by accident but if this interests you, you can find out more at their website.

A variety of mystery is involved, the discussions lists are abuzz on some kind of “deal” that Ghibli and Disney are doing that goes beyond the Buena Vista distribution….

Ghibli is the Studio behind Spirited Away, Tototo and Kiki and has always made blockbuster anime movies, Disney distributes them and given Disney’s acquisition of Pixar, is this something along those lines?

Anyone knows anything about this?
