Catmull, who has been with Pixar since it was started by George Lucas in the early 80s, will become president of the Pixar and Disney animation studio. Lasseter, a one-time Disney animator and the director of Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and the soon-to-be-released film Cars, will be chief creative officer of the animation studios as well as the lead creative adviser for Disney's Imagineering unit, which devises new rides for the theme park. I find the Lasseter/Imagineering connection interesting. The article is about keeping people from leaving Pixar now that Disney owns it. Whole article is here: Business Week: Hi-Ho! Work for Disney or Go?
