Please God No
When the talk started of Disney buying Pixar a few days ago, I discounted it. But it's suddenly everywhere, and The Daily Telegraph reckons its happening today. Amid Amidi over at Cartoon Brew is suprisingly upbeat: At this point, it's easy to see it going either way: either Lasseter and company will shine their creative light upon Disney helping to revitalize the Mouse's slumbering animation division or Disney's corporate bureaucracy will drag down Pixar with it and we'll enter a new era of films like THE INCREDIBLES MEET WOODY AND BUZZ.I wish I could agree that the upside was there. To me this seems roughly equivalent to deciding that a mix of Grange Hermitage and orange juice is going to taste better than either on its own. Posted by Stephen Rowley @ 23.1.06
