Re: Disney to buy Pixar for $7.4 billion
ABC News announced this at 3:30 on WLS talk radio Chicago.
Here's hoping for good things! (And a partial return of hand drawn animation!)

Re: Disney to buy Pixar for $7.4 billion
I'm think this is a good thing, Disney/Pixar movies and the best so I don't see how this can be bad.

I'm starting a pool:
On what day does Steve Jobs become CEO of Disney?

I hope they do bring back hand drawn. The computer stuff is great, but nothing will ever beat the old school stylings.

 Now I have a dread that Microsoft is going to buy out Six Flags or something and then over the course of time slowly grind the Disney+Apple team-up into dust...  Okay, that is far-fetched...

Re: Disney to buy Pixar for $7.4 billion
Well Apple is not part of the deal, Pixar is it's own entity. Correct?
So let's not bring Xbo... I mean Microsoft into this.

Re: Disney to buy Pixar for $7.4 billion
The one guy who becomes a very powerful and influental man in the Disney family is John Lassiter. He will run the movie part of the company and also have alot of say in what new attractions they have at the parks and what characters to base them on. I know Iger definitely wants to tie in the movies/shows with Apple though and I can see that happening pretty swiftly over the first half of the year. IPODS will sell even better than before.

Re: Disney to buy Pixar for $7.4 billion
Has this been made official yet? I thought I had heard that they had indeed done it but anyone know if this is confirmed?
