Pixar For Sale?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the enslave-the-human-race-for-only-a-dollar dept.

blamanj writes "The on-again off-again relationship between Pixar and Disney is currently on-again, and in a big way according to this story. Pixar originally signed a distribution deal which gave Disney a percentage of the profits and a distribution fee of 10%-15% of revenues. With Pixar revenues well over two billion dollars on their films, Jobs was looking for a better deal and dropped negotiations with the mouse. But now, according to CNN, he might be willing to sell the company outright. I can't believe that Pixar employees would be happy."

  1. Employees not happy? by gtoomey · · Score: 0, Troll

    Shareholders own and manage the company, not employees. If employees dont like it they can leave.

      Thanks! Goodness knows I need them after some recent comments. Maybe you could put me on your friends list to help reduce the freak/fan ratio?

  2. Everybody who's not a freak DOES get screwed over. by jonskerr · · Score: 0, Troll

    Retard. The people of America are the most productive workers in the world, but are the corporate bigwigs EVER satisfied? Of COURSE not! And so there's this ever-escalating world of more and more work, people spending less and less time raising their kids, improving their communities, taking part in politics or other activities. So finally only those people who are employable are those willing to screw over everything else in their lives for the Company. Fuck that. Hard.
