Toy Story 3 Scrapped

Snap E Tom writes "The Independent Online is reporting that Toy Story 3 has been scrapped. This is a strong clue that the Pixar guys are firmly in control at Disney. The ground-breaking films were being milked into almost as many movies as The Sims has expansion packs. John Lasseter, Pixar's creative head, was strongly against the idea of third and forth movies, while the old Disney regime pushed forward with it. Now with Pixar and Steve Jobs on the board, Lasseter has taken the necessary steps to prevent the franchise from being diluted."

Very similar to how Apple 'bought' Next... and AOL 'bought' Time Warner.

The next few years should be very interesting.

Um, yeah - cuz that rank amateur nutball Jobs has just done nothing but drive that Apple startup and all its originality into the ground for the past decade...

The person you HAD to worry about (Eisner) is gone. Now THAT was a reality distortion field.
