Disney buys Pixar.....

Hey pops, that hand drawn animation version reminds me of the fact that the exact same thing happened to Stuart Little [straight to video, normal animation and no original cast] for the 3rd [I think] film.

Gah, it's all so frustrating when that sort of thing happens.

Disney is just too...weird isn't the word I'm looking for. They just seem to sanitize (and worse) everything they touch. And I hate that their name is above the title of 'Tron'.

Looks like their aquistion of Pixar may bring Disney back to the front in quality family entertainment. I especially like the part where he is canning the direct to video sequels to Disney's classic films.

Check it out here.

I'm sure they'll be getting a ton of dough from their latest batch (Bambi 2 and ilk) though.

Well, we WON'T be watching or buying Bambi 2, that's for sure. But we are going to get the new release of Lady and the Tramp. You know, the whole voting with our dollars sort of thing.

Too bad Lasseter could not stop Bambi 2, but that one was just too far gone.

I wonder how much they paid Patrick Stewart for 'Bambi 2'.

Yes, we certainly needed a sequel to to a classic like Bambi 60 some odd years after it's original release.

Yeah, especially when so many of the original actors have aged so much or have died
