Now will Disney survive .... ????

Fair play to Pixar - why shouldn't they get the maximum revenue from films that they make (though if they want to send some of it my way, I won't complain )?

I think it was only a matter of time TBH.

Fair play to Pixar, although they clearly owe Disney a fair deal of respect for having the balls to sign up such an anknown company in the first place, but that's life!

Good point - but let's face it, Disney haven't exactly done badly out of it!

Have to agree with Nugget that it's a good move for Pixar.

It struck me that a similar situation exists with suppliers to the supermarkets in this country, where they effectively require manufacturers to pay for the 'privilege' of selling their product under the retailers brand.

If profit was weighted more in favour of the producer, rather than the marketeer/distributor, the food industry, especially, would be much better off.

I totally agree. Though when they were in partnership they did maje some good films.
