What properties did Disney buy from 21st Century Fox?
Disney bought some 21st Century Fox properties, which is quite hyped in the news all around and attracting jokes like these:
Making fun of Xenomorph daughters being Disney princesses now :D
But the serious concern is I am not sure what Disney got out of that deal, what properties do they now possess?
The more I read about it the more I get confused.
What new properties does Disney now own, which previously belonged to Fox? Did they take the rights for there TV and film, i.e. both versions, or was the deal exclusively for only the films or it's TV properties?
