No, I was quoting the article: "$7.4 billion deal that gives Pixar animators creative control over the world's most famous cartoon studio and makes Pixar CEO
Steve Jobs one of Disney's largest shareholders."

And also: "Disney also will surrender control of its world-famous animation studio, the birthplace of Mickey Mouse, to Pixar creative chiefs, Ed Catmull and John Lasseter. The companies will combine their animation operations.

Catmull, who is currently president of Pixar, will become president of the combined Pixar and Disney animation studios. Lasseter, who is now executive vice president of Pixar, will be chief creative officer of the combined studios.

Lasseter will also become the principal creative director of the Walt Disney Imagineering group, which designs theme park attractions."

Almost sounds like more of a giant merger than a takeover. Either way...it's intense. Yeesh.

Disney will own/run the world someday, maybe. I know everyone loves Disney, but it'd be more in keeping with my absurdist view of life if Bugs were in charge...:roll:
