Pixar-Disney
I seem to be one of the minority who aren't all that jazzed about Disney buying Pixar. In spite of their amazing history that kick-started the modern animation industry, I don't really like where Disney corporate have taken things in recent times. I guess I'm a little worried that the unification will adversely affect how Pixar goes about doing things. If Mr. Lasseter is to head up Disney's global animation unit, then chances are that his influence on Pixar output here in the Bay Area will be weakened. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen, for everyone I know that has worked with him confirm all talk of his genius.
Hmpf. It's easy to see what Steve Jobs can take from this, but aside from securing distribution, what do Pixar really stand to gain?
Well, I guess it's up to those guys to assuage my fears through their film releases over the next couple of years...

like tom petty says, "the waiting is the hardest part." i hear you about John Lasseter's talents being spread pretty thin.

i have to agree with kevan...although this merger might save disney animation, which will be a good thing (atleast for traditions sake)i'm more than a bit nervous about this affecting pixar. i was already troubled by the fact that they have up to 3 movies in production at a time, but now under disney they have ballooned to an even greater size and as far as i'm concerned (when it comes to things artistic) bigger is not better.
