They still ...

... have to release this and their next film "Cars" with Disney. After that, they no longer have to have their films distributed by Disney.

Also Disney gets the rights to any sequels for these films, if Pixar refuses to make sequels for them. (Like Toy Story 3)

This picture was in production before the split.

They plan on not renewing the contract, but they didn't break it. More info here

> I thought that Pixar split from the Disney
> Empire? What's up with that?

Disney will still release one or two movies more (The Incredibles plus the next one). Pixar had a 6 film deal with Disney, but Disney contested that "Toy Story II" counted as it was a sequel. (This is one reason that Pixar don't do sequels).

So we have

Toy Story I/II
Bugs Life
Monsters Inc
Finding Nemos
The Incredibles
One more. .. and then Pixar will go with somebody who gives them more than 10% of the takings. Pixar weren't looking to "screw" Disney, just be paid a fair price for what they are now worth in the market.

And btw, by 'geared towards adults' I certainly don't mean sex and explosions, that doesn't hurt though if the plot is interesting and supports it.

I have two words that would make them GOBS of fricking cash....

Heavy Metal

the first teaser of Titan AE looked as if it was going to be in the style of Heavy Metal and I was fricking GEEKED but it tanked out to be a kiddie movie.

If Pixar were to have the guts to make a R rated Heavy Metal style film they would absolutely clean up.

I'm going to wait until the trailer is in a video format that doesn't require me to run bloated software, before I see it.

My dear Cinderella, you shall go to the ball.

Just a note: Shrek wasn't pixar. It was Dreamworks (I think).

Oops, that was the old one, the new one is here.

Re:Pixar is no different than anyone else

[Robotech_Master]

Uhm...Miyazaki-san himself has said that he wrote Spirited Away for 12-year-old girls. You're confusing the cultural disconnect with audience. Granted, Japanese animated films in general tend to have a higher degree of maturity than American ones do...but that doesn't mean they're for an older audience.

And even if that weren't the case, Miyazaki has made quite a few movies "written for kids" himself. For instance, look at My Neighbor Totoro or Panda, Go Panda. Enjoyable by adults (just as Pixar's films are), but clearly aimed right squarely at the little kid market.

Pixar was never a part of Disney -- Disney just had an agreement to distribute the pictures and take half the profits.

From their recent annual report:

Relationship with Disney

A critical component of our objective to maintain our position as a leading brand in the animated feature film market is to secure strong promotion, marketing and distribution of our films and related products. We believe that Disney is among the leaders in the marketing and distribution of animated feature films and related products and is one of the industry's most widely recognized brand names. We have enjoyed a long relationship with Disney that dates back to 1986, when we entered into a joint technical development effort with Disney that resulted in the Computer Assisted Production System ("CAPS"), a production system owned and used by Disney in some of its two-dimensional cel-based animated feature films. Disney first used CAPS for The Rescuers Down Under and has continued to use it for its subsequent animated feature films, such as The Lion King and Tarzan. In 1992, certain employees of Pixar and Disney were jointly awarded an Academy Award® for Scientific and Engineering Achievement for the development of CAPS.

In May 1991, we entered into the Feature Film Agreement with Walt Disney Pictures, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney, which provided for the development, production and distribution of up to three feature-length motion pictures (the "Feature Film Agreement"). It was pursuant to the Feature Film Agreement that Toy Story was developed, produced and distributed. In 1997, we extended our existing relationship with Disney by entering into the Co-Production Agreement. This agreement generally provides that we will be responsible for the development, pre-production and production of each Picture, while Disney will be responsible for the marketing, promotion, publicity, advertising and distribution of each Picture. The profits from the Pictures are shared equally between Pixar and Disney after Disney recovers a distribution fee and pre-agreed distribution costs. The term of this arrangement continues until the delivery of Cars to Disney, which we expect to occur in mid-2005.
