why does everyone else get a neat ghetto name and all i get is " harry kool". sounds like a clint eastwood character.
well on topic....eisner just can't make a decent decision because his ego is uncontrollable...so i don't have much hope that he'll cut a better deal for pixar-which is what he should do. if pixar bolts, whoever they join( and skg would just love to do it as a big F.U. to eisner) will make them a lot of $$$.
eisner ought to be mindful of job's foresite..in a decade it may be pixar making a bid for disney...

I am no Disney fan. however, are we sure all the creative energy is coming from Pixar. Sure the animators are putting alot of blood sweat and tears into the work, but are the concepts coming from Pixar or Disney. Who is coming up with the storylines, voice talent, etc. I can't beleive Pixar and Disney are not woring hand in hand on the concepts, Disney has too much history in animation to be ignored. Not to mention the merchandising chain, etc.
Disney ain't a great company - but they are good at what they do. Don't shoot yourselves in the foot if the gun is being held by two different hands.

Ass Machine Teapot, Yo
that's me. well it could have been a little cooler, but it's still funny
on topic, i think people thought that disney was a big part of poduction in toy story and other pixars because it said disney and pizar. pixar doesn't need disney to help fund, but if they run out of money, they will look foolish to any company for leaving disn;'ey and not being able to make it on thier own. there is only a slight chance of matching the success of nemo, so there isn;t really anywhere higher to go from right now.
bottom line. they need to stya with disney because if they flop with thier next movie, they won;'t have any money to mae a nother movie to get them money. i'm not saying pixar's next movie will flop, but there is a chance of it happening down the line.
believe me, if pixar goes indie, they won't use substantial amounts of their own money to make their movies....that's what executive producers are for.
They won't go indie - they're too big for that. 300 million+ and counting on Nemo
They're in the right seat for bargaining so Jobs is using it....

Well, now taking this completely off-topic, I'm apparently:

Ohhh....goosebumps...
Re Pixar and Disney: Isn't their film contract almost over anyways?
What store gets more foot traffic, Disney or Wal-Mart?
my Ghetto name is...
Ass Machine Ice!?1
WTF? Lethal
Well, as the topis is bouncing between Pixar/Disney and Ghetto Names, mine is...
Fallopian Shizzlemah.
Cool.
Steve Jobs is ... Wankmaster Lobos
The next possible Califirnia Gov Swar-chan (As Arnold is called here in Japan)...Toilet Duq Weed
Pixar needs someone to distribute. Disney (hate hate hate) is a good choice, just get a better deal for Pixar out of it.

I think we are all cousins, as I am rectal teapot, yo.
well, at least i will get street cred with the 12-14 yr old boy ghetto crowd...

Lilo and Stitch was a moderate success. This Brother Bear movie coming out next looks like it could do well. Has kind of a Lion King type feel to me.
Ghetto name:

On topic:
If pixar leaves, which I dont care either way, they just want more $$.
Pixar, make a move that takes thought.

That's what I'd be worried about. Disney brings a huge presence to the market, moreso than any other distributor, they are almost exclusive in how aggressive they are in getting Disney products floor space in retail environments.
I used to be a manager in a retail environment many years ago and I can tell you the Disney reps were the most consistantly insistant folks to deal with. Most other reps never even bothered to show up, and if they did, didn't seem to care about their job.
Add to that the huge profits to be had from merchandising (Pixar does get a cut of that, don't they?) and this might be a dangerous move indeed.
I think what's best is a more equitable profit-sharing deal between Pixar and Disney. That or perhaps Pixar expands and starts selling movie deals to others on the side.
