Competition in the film industry. If one major studio buys out another, that means less competition.

Also, if Disney were to buy Fox, they would also get Avatar, Alien, Blue Sky, and Planet of the Apes.

Actually, there would be less "competition" anyway. This isn't a buy out. Fox is actually downsizing. They are concentrating on the tv side (news, sports, general broadcasting). So someone else would get the movie side of Fox anyway.

20th Century Fox is a major film studio. If they sold their entire film division to Disney, it would mean one less film studio in the industry. Again, that would mean less competition, and probably less diversity as well, given that Fox also owns Fox Searchlight, which produces the kinds of films that Disney just doesn't make anymore.

Pretty much everything released under the Disney banner these days is part of a major franchise, or an animated film that becomes a franchise. That's not a particularly diverse slate.
