Disney buys Pixar

[disciple]

Walt Disney announced Tuesday that it's paying $7.4 billion in stock to acquire Pixar Animation Studios--a deal that puts Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs on Disney's board of directors.

For the venerable animation giant, the move is a significant bet on Pixar's digital approach as the successor to the pen-and-ink industry popularized by Walt Disney. The purchase is also the latest indication of a tectonic collision between technology and Hollywood.

This is interesting,since pixar started off making animated movies for disney, then took that fame and started making their own and for other people.

They promised to stay independant, and managed to avoid being bought by disney previously...

butttttttt 7.5 billion dollars could certainly by yuh independance.

Well, it certainly can't be as bad as Disney shutting down their own animation studios.
The Kim Possible fans have yet to forgive Disney for that.

[New Era Outlaw]

CANCELL'D!!

No Disney animation studios = NO Kim Possible.

My bad. Looks like Disney renewed it in November, and has since commissioned 22 new episodes. Sorry 'bout the scare, folks.
