If I could pick my jaw up off of the floor, I'm sure I would be laughing.

Yet another case of Jobs getting paid to be put in charge.

lol this has been in the news a few days now, but will be interesting to see how things develop......

NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!

well... wait...

that might rock. errrrrr... *headasplode*

Didnt Disney put out of few digital animation films recently without Pixar? And didnt they do quite poorly?

yes disney... you need pixar.

right, Exactly!!! Pixar Rocks out. We dont need anyone mucking about in pixars business. They are in it for the money as well as disney, but they also take quality into consideration.... Disney just churns out movie after movie. If pixar makes something awesome, they go make something different and even better. Disney makes something awesome (if they do) and then they make it over again. and again. They aint who they were... maybe this will restore them to their former glory. Even if it is under the banner of pixar.

Funny thing here, the animation part of Calarts was formed and funded back in the day by disney and it has graduated every one of the directors who are responsible for Pixar films. hhhmmm....

Only good will come of this, disney will rise to its former glory. and jobs will continue to take over the world

dont forget that disney was at the top of the animation game back in the days of pen and paper, i'm sure they see this as a way to step into the digital age.

Well, this is a good sign: Toy Story 3 Cancelled

Fuck that, they made Bambi 2. I hope that with the acquisition of Pixar they also have some people to tell them that original content is good, rehashing old stuff is bad, m'kay?

I started to seriously dislike Disney around the times of Pocahontas, Hunchback, and Little Mermaid. I can understand creative license, but these were almost blasphemous to me. Then they started an obscene trend of sub-par sequels (Disney became the McDonalds of movie makers). But what really threw me over the edge was their dealings with Pixar. Just let Pixar do their thing, ya know? Suck it up, keep them happy, and reap.

I hope good will come of this. The last thing I want is the Disney folks having a negative quality influence on Pixar. Hopefully the Pixar folks will still be able to keep it real. You know, keep it real.

I don't know.

Saw a Jobs interview on this and it basically boiled down to.... Pixar will make movies Disney will distribute them. Jobs made it quite clear that Disney brass would have little or no say in the 'making' end of things.

My hope is Jobs will do a bit of digging through the vaults and perhaps resurrect Mr. Bumpy.

I think there's more to this.

What if Apple would buy Disney, they'd have access to loads of content, aren't HBO, MTV, EPSN, and ABC all owned by Disney?

Apple could use all this content through it's iTunes software and streaming technology, it would be the first company that could deliver Video on demand and be in control of everything!

Blaise, that's assuming Apple could afford Disney.

I doubt they have several billion dollars on hand to seal the deal.

Since Jobs now owns Disney, Pixar, and Apple there is no requirment for Apple to buy Disney. The possiblity of matereal making its way to from Disney to itunes is not that far off.
