Pixar Drops Disney To Find a New Studio Partner

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the parting-ways dept.

da_anarchist writes "After much speculation, Pixar has announced that it will end its distribution agreement with Disney. This comes after much bitterness at Pixar over the terms of their current deal with Disney, where Disney took a sizable (and some would say unfair) portion of the $2.5 billion in revenue generated by Pixar's films. Pixar is best known as the studio behind the Toy Story series and the more recent movie Finding Nemo."

    So Pixar wanted a bigger cut and Disney wasn't willing? Is that the gist of this? A business deal. One bunch of staggeringly wealthy white guys bickering with another bunch of staggeringly wealthy white guys.

    um, hoo ray and stuff. I'm so pleased.

    Ya know, at some point Pixar is going to hook up with a firm from India and cut their labor costs about 80%...

    Anyhow, I'm going back to Slashdot. They specialize in geek news, not this Forbes jet set play-by-play.

    I would imagine no one you've ever met has ever been impressed by anything you've done and wouldn't mind if you collapsed.
