[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1845083, member: 812"] Oh, and it's pretty certain that Steve Jobs (who runs Pixar) is in the running to take over as CEO of Disney. Yanking the Disney/Pixar deal from current CEO Michael Eisner was a significant contributor to Eisner's current disfavour with Disney shareholders, and he's announced his retirement next year, leaving the CEOship vacant for SOMEBODY to fill. Even the Economist thinks Jobs is one of the top candidates. At which point, one may assume, a Disney/Pixar deal becomes possible to manage. :D And Jobs has let his distaste for Disney's current "turn out as many cheap sequels as the market can possibly bear" strategy be known publicly on many occasions. Sometimes I remember that Eisner killed Disney's feature animation department and the desire to commit red-handed murder rises in my brain... [/QUOTE]
