That is not surprising. I knew Disney wasn't going to want to let go of them.

Damn... I hope Pixar can manage to stay independent. Disney isn't what it used to be and until they return to their roots and leave the Dark (ie commercial) Side... I'd rather they didn't put their hands on those on the Light Side :)

Hey if they continue to make such great movies as Finding Nemo, and the Incredibles, I'd be fine with that. I am such a sucker for animated movies, I Love the incredibles, I thought is was a brilliant movie!!

[prydain]

I'm not big on animated movies in particular but I like that Disney is getting more mature and doing bigger things.

lol i love the old disney movies like The little mermaid oh and Beauty and the Beast... They are so sweet! lol ALthough i loved Finding Nemo, Sadly i dont watch animated movies much anymore...

[prydain]

I used to love Finding Nemo...

"Es-ka-pay! That's funny, it's almost like the word 'escape'." lol

I love certin lines and i mean love them like

Dory:"just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim. "

or

Dory:"I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my squishy Come on, squishy Come on, little squishy....Ow Bad squishy, bad squishy"

I agree, but for some reason I think Disney would ruin Pixar :( Ok probably not but that's the was I feel lol. Love Pixar, mhm.

OMG I love this Quote, I think it is like one of my all time favourite lines!! I own two little terrapins(Turtles) and I named one of them Squishy, because of this line!

[prydain]

Oh dear. lol

That's a little much. :p

[Angels baby101]

You named a turtle squishy? HOW can a TURTLE be squishy :P

Oh i thought about buying a fish and naming it squishy once, then i remember i have no luck iwth fish so then it was gonna be a rat that i fatten up. But i moved from delaware down here with my dad and he wont let me have one :(

[Black Eye Guy]

I just thought it was a cool name for a sea animal, Ok I am really sad, and weird, but al least I realize it -That Counts for something right?

P.S. The other turtle's name is Squash, so they are Squish and Squish :)... Yeah ok really sad!

Is Disney trying to buy Pixar because Pixar is in financial trouble or is Disney trying to buy Pixar's technology and computer graphics guys? Disney has been known to buy the company to get the people.

[Angels baby101]

Squishy and Squashy lol thats so cute

I had a rat named Cheeseit but he died then i had one named Cracker and he died, Now i have one named Cheddar up in delaware and i wanna get him a companion named Salami!

Well, from what I understand - and this could be false, I dunno, it's what I heard - Pixar got mad or something b/c Disney either wasn't giving them enough credit, or something along those lines, so The Incredibles was supposed to be the last movie they did together. Disney obviously makes a lot of money off Pixar and now that they're going to own it, they'll make even more. So they're pretty much buying the people cuz I guess they can't find any on their own, and they want more money.

[teentitan]

I know there is a computer graphics school in Canada where the students have a job a year before they graduate and a lot of them do not head to Disney. It's Pixar or Lucas Films. So yeah it seems Disney is looking for the cash. Guess it's just a fun place to visit not work at?

[prydain]

Michael Eisner is like...evil. lol. Of course Disney's not fun to work for. You should read some of the things about Disneyworld/land...it's horrible.

[teentitan]

Yeah I heard there is a dungeon to the bottom of the Magic Mountain and one of the most treacherous torture devices is...an eraser! lol. And Eisner is not evil he is just a live version of the mirror on the wall.

[Allycat]

I'm quite sure he was rooting for the Evil Stepmother, Scar, Jaffar.... and :pout: .... the Hunter who killed Bambi's mother !!! :cussing:

[prydain]

Well, someone who calls the public stupid for liking Lost, and who forced Miracles to do constant reshoots because he thought it wasn't light enough is evil enough. And I meant Disneyworld's policies on a lot of stuff. One time a woman drowned and they TIED HER TO A POLE and left her body there for three hours before calling the police and her little son had to stand there and watch them do it, and they kept him somewhere until the police came. Didn't even give the boy a frickin lollipop.

EVIL.
