Disney bought Pixar

  • 아티클

On the off-chance that no-one else noticed this, it's official: Disney bought Pixar. My link here is to the Sydney Morning-Herald because the top of the article is a big picture of Steve wearing one of his trademark turtlenecks and the CEO of Disney wearing an uncomfortable look on his face. Steve becomes the biggest single shareholder of Disney, and takes a seat on the Disney board.

I like Pixar. They have consistently turned out great animated films. It's not just their technique, although that's excellent.  But the technique isn't enough.  Pixar creates memorable stories, ones that you want to watch again. I hope that Pixar can improve Disney for the better. I don't think that Disney has been making many high-quality products themselves. Their last few animated films haven't been that great, and their handful of live-action films have mostly been re-makes. They've been living on the Disney name. They haven't been innovating. I hope that Pixar can bring innovation back to Disney.

    I hope you are right.. When I first read about this, my worry was that Disney is going to somehow squash the innovation of Pixar. Hopefully the Pixar folks really get to run things at the Disney animation studios.

    Yah, and appart from the distribution of Disney-Pixar through iTunes, Steve Jobs should take a back seat and let his people get on with it, he needs to stay focused on Apple and getting Xen into x86 Darwin.
