Yes, but the point is that because of this deal Jobs has a seat on the Disney board now.

Maybe Steve Jobs is trying to take over Disney? Shocked


No. He's got Apple Computer. BTW, it was George Lucas who founded Pixar and sold it to Steve Jobs in 1986. This info can be found on Disc 4 of the Star Wars trilogy DVD set.

This definitely gives me hope! The thought of Lasseter in charge of both Animation and Imagineering tickles me pink! Very Happy And I love his comments on sequels - that is basically what Walt used to argue! If a sequel is relaly worth doing, it's worth doing to the best Feature Animation standards. THAT is what Disney's whole image has been based on historically.

C) Glenn and Andreas are still there so there might be a little pitsy hope.

How knows maybe they're rehired in the future, an a freelance basis perhaps.

So, if we wanted an Aladdin sequel, Ron and John would have to do it! Yay! Very Happy

...but since we A.) Have more than just them as important writers to our fandom (cause I consider the series writers important too since they know all the characterization inbetween) and B.) have Ron and John no longer there, I doubt we'd get any more. Yay?

"They said that sequels should only be made if there is a really great story that demands it, and should be the domain of those who created the original film."

Wow, there is hope, it seems.

Could this mean the end of no more crummy sequels?

Which is funny because they were just now starting to get good again Laughing

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means Lasseter is in change of both Disney and Pixar's animation departments, correct? That seems like a good sign to me. Smile

Does this mean that 2D animation will be extinct for good?
My theory has been that they'll make several computer animated movies that don't do well because they're still using crappy stories and then someone will go "Oh . . . wasn't the animation" and figure out what they need to fix. Don't know how this merger has the potential to affect things, though.

I don't know about this...do you think maybe they're giving Jobs too much power?

Well, I clicked on Calluna's link and found another link about Bugs vs Antz.

I was very surprised. I liked both movies but back then I was too young to know about the scandoulous betrayals of companies...so I still don't quite get it. Did Katzenberg really betray Disney-Pixar? And where were the litigations? Question

There's a thought...

Still, with Pixar added to their armory and Eisner out of the seat, maybe they'll stop churning out the junk.
