Disney could gain from Pixar loss

"We believe the economics that Pixar was seeking were not beneficial to Disney," said Mike Kupinski, an analyst at A.G. Edwards, in a note. "We would view any weakness as a buying opportunity, as we believe Disney's fundamentals are improving." -end quote

"Disney may have lost considerably more had it agreed to Pixar's request, i.e. given up control to copyrights and sequels while agreeing to revised terms on the next two films," said a note from Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen"-end quote

"Disney has the resources and now the motivation to compete with Pixar at the box office and on the home video shelves at Wal-Mart and everywhere else. In animated film, Disney is, in our view, a very formidable foe."

I duno why but the Incredibles reminds me of Buzz Lightyear..with the whole super-hero guys..I kind of feel like its "been there done that"...I hope I am wrong.

thats one reason I loved Nemo,it looked and was so much different then all the other Pixar films...Incredibles reminds me alot of the Lightyear character...cocky super-hero etc etc

Not really cocky. Just washed-up.

well its still the super-hero thing,Cars sounds more appealing in my opinion because its something theyve never tackled.Im curious to see how they approach it.

They've never tackled actual super heros with super powers.

One time I tackled Superman. He was ticked.
