Pixar Possibly Staying With Disney?

After holding discussions with MGM, Sony, Warner Bros. and Fox, Steve Jobs' Pixar Animation Studios has concluded that it will remain partnered with Disney, the New York Post reported today (Wednesday), citing sources familiar with the matter. The newspaper commented that such a development would represent a significant victory for Disney CEO Michael Eisner, whose relationship with Jobs was described by the Post as "acrimonious." (Jobs has told interviewers in the past that he would renew negotiations with Disney only if Eisner was forced out.) Jobs had reportedly been hoping that another studio would agree to a deal in which it would receive simply a distribution fee to handle Pixar films and would not share in their profits.

Sounds kinda shady to me... need to get an official word before I believe it. But Disney needs this to be true, what is it, like five of their last six movies have been total flops? They better hope this goes through.

Ugh, I wouldn't trust IMDB if they said Kevin Smith was fat

This is good news. No need to mess with what works. Hopefully this will ensure Disney releases no more Brother Bears.

I'm sure Disney is getting desperate for help on Toy Story 3....

If this pans out, Disney are very lucky.
