I was fascinated when I saw it on television this morning. My understanding is that Disney had little artistic impact on the Pixar films.

I think that Pixar are in a great position and this is a good move for them. Disney's industry reputation seems to be in terrible shape and Pixar could do alot worse than to put some distance between them.

It seems that, by looking for a sweet distribution deal, Pixar could well be positioning themselves to dethrone Disney as the king of the animated feature kingdom.

As far as i know, all Disney were incharge of was the voice-over dept and distribution, for which they took half of the money made. Thats why Pixar dumped them.

Isn't anyone worried that Disney are working on Toy Story 3.


Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

Knowing Disney, I suspect that it'll go direct to DVD/VHS user added image

Disney does have a tendency of releasing movies directly to DVD. e.g. Lion king 1/2 or something like that, Lion King 2 and so on. Just terrible. Also the quality of the movies is scaled down big time.

I read that Toy Story 2 was intended for Direct to Video, but the quality was so good, the released it in theatres instead.

Actually disneys attitude toward this is they only release the originials in theater then the sequals to video, however toy story 2 was, in their opinion good enough to be an original in itself so they released it in theater too. As far as i know its the only diskey sequal to be in theater. Thats why most sequals are of lesser quality. Because they make them to go direct to dvd, not to theater. So they dont get the theater cash they would normally get.

Actually, Pixar was responsible for content, while Disney handled distribution and marketing. In exchange, Pixar has split profits with Disney and pays the studio a distribution fee of between 10 percent to 15 percent of revenue.

This all reminds me of how Disney started up... they were the 2D animation geniuses who had a deal with Columbia (I think). One day, they decided not to renew their deal with Columbia and go it alone.... now it's Pixars turn! I just hope Pixar dont go the way of Theme Parks and Direct to Video.

Yeah, Pixar made the film but all the voice overs were handled by Disney.
