Re: Is Disney buying Dreamworks?
I haven't heard that, all I have heard is that he does want to repair the relationship with Pixar. I would find it hard to believe the management of Dreamworks would persue anything with Disney but money always talks.

Re: Is Disney buying Dreamworks?
Katzenburg back at Disney!? No way!!!! I think they will repair their relationship with Pixar, but if Iger gets desperate enough maybe they would bring Dreamworks on board.

I thought they were mortal enemies!
Sounds like a paradox to me!

Re: Is Disney buying Dreamworks?
It's not such a far futched idea. Read this from the article.
Despite Katzenberg's courtroom battles with Eisner over his compensation, a deal with DreamWorks might not be as unlikely as it seems. As president of ABC prior to its 1996 acquisition by Disney, Iger bought a 1% stake in the upstart DreamWorks studio and ordered two TV shows for the network. When Iger married TV reporter Willow Bay in 1995, Katzenberg was front and center. "They have a good relationship," says a friend of both. The deal could be structured as a stand-alone unit, similar to Disney's 1993 arrangement with Miramax, which was negotiated by Katzenberg. But it would still face hurdles, including a hefty price tag and DreamWorks' existing distribution deal with NBC Universal. Neither Disney nor DreamWorks would comment.

Re: Is Disney buying Dreamworks?
If Disney bought Dreamworks, or worked with them, there would be virtually no competition! It would all be one BIG thing. I guess they have competition with the makers of Iceage/Robots, but I'd imagine that the competition between Disney and the "iceage" people isn't as big as the competition between Disney and the "Shrek" People. Just a thought.
