Economics 101, the less players in a market means less risks will be taken, even if Fox put out "crap" it kept Disney in check, now Disney can take less risks and release tame stuff since it has less competition and pretty much owns the market.
Nothing good comes out of having "one" dominant player, whether it's super markets, wrestling, restaurants, movies, video games, cars etc. |

Planet of the Apes had at least one more movie being planned, but I assume the idea was to have 5 new movies to match the 5 original movies. Either way I don't see them rebooting Planet of the Apes again anytime soon.

I never liked WCW, but since they went under and WWE became the only real presence, things have been frequently frustrating. They got super lazy and complacent, to the point they don't even worry about basic continuity, motivations or properly building the wrestlers anymore. There are plenty of bright spots, but it feels like they don't listen to actual fans enough and there's no pressure to, so they just do what they want, even if it means arbitrary decisions from a millionaire in his seventies who lost touch with the pulse of his own audience a while ago. There are more indy places to watch these days, but almost no one with real TV deals or that have even half the reach of WWE unless you go outside the US (and WWE's making moves out THERE now). One company with most of the power is never a good thing and a lifelong hobby pretty much taught me the consequences directly.

Fox's 2018 (and part of 2019) release schedule won't be affected at all so it'll still have the Fox logo attached. From what I've read there can't be any interaction between the two sides during the govt approval process so Fox will continue operating as usual and can't have input from Disney.

I wonder if they'll cancel The Simpsons or not. About time, though. |

Probably not. They just got it. I think they'll keep it going for a while. It will end eventually, though. That show's going to make a ton of money in syndication, which is why Fox had been considering ending it the last seven years or so.

They were only persuaded to keep the show going after someone convinced them to film in New Zealand and not LA. PR's one of those few franchises Disney wanted no part of eventually, doubtful that applies to the single most accomplished animation of the 20th century. I can see Disney maybe wanting to appeal to the older fanbase and "retool" the show to being more of what it was in the earlier seasons |

What I can see happening, is the voice actors of the Simpson asking for more money, since Disney owns the Simpsons series, and they would have no choice to pay those voice actors more money to continue doing that show.

That last part of the sentence was referring to The Simpsons, not PR

No, nothing would change. That's not the way this works. Whatever contract they had with Fox would be inherited and honored by both sides at Disney for however long their existing contracts last. At the end of said contract they would be up for renegotiation, same as any contract they'd ever had and fulfilled at Fox over the past few decades.

I did think of that possibility, but I still wasn't sure. Plus I never thought The Simpsons needed to be retooled to appeal to an older audience, although it has been said about PR several times.
