Pixar Eaten by Mickey Mouse

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'm-so-confused dept.

The rumors went flying this weekend, but Dekortage writes "It is official: Pixar has been sold to Disney. Steve Jobs will join the Disney board, and John Lasseter is now Disney's Chief Creative Officer. So, dear Slashdot, does this mean that Disney's movies will improve, or that Pixar's will become worse?" Also the price of Pixar was $7.4 billion with a b dollars.

    Thats a lot but it may have been interesting to say it was in Disney stock.

    So, what's so evil about Disney again?

    That they're one of the key corporations behind the ever increasing extensions of copyright duration would be the biggie for me.

    Granted, if it weren't them, someone else would do it, but they did do it. So meh.
