This would be kinda funny.  Robert Iger giving the FU to Michael Eisner...  Gotta love that.

Dude.  Of course they will take it.  It will put Steve Jobs on the Disney board giving him even more power in getting movies delivered on the net.

Agree\'d. Not to mention, they need to sell now before they hit a streak of bad movies, which looks to start with their next one, \'Cars\'.

I thought Disney and Pixar was already in cahoots.

No.  Cars is their last movie which comes out in the summer.  Eisner essentially killed the deal.  Now that Iger is in control they are going to try and take them over.

Cars: Never judge a movie by its trailer. Especially not a Pixar movie.

I judged Finding Nemo and it turned out fantastic. The Incredibles was very good as well.

You\'re in the minority, and what does age have to do with liking that movie?

Nemo was incredible.  I mean it wasn\'t one of your gay ass jap nunchuck movies, but it was a fine piece of work.

I actually liked The Incredibles more than FN, but I\'m a comic book fan/20-something male.

I was just saying, FN seemed like a flop when I heard about it and it ended up a high-quality affair. Like Cars probably will.

I wouldn\'t doubt pixar until they actually put out a "bad" movie.  Just because they are kids movies dosen\'t make them bad, i\'ve enjoyed pretty much everything they\'ve put out.

I remember when Pixar wanted to leave Disney coz they wanted more autonomy once their contract was up. Hmmm.....

I too liked Finding Nemo. I haven\'t seen The Incredibles but very small clips of it and it looked pretty good and funny.
