# Hehehehe....
I'm confused by the Disney/Pixar business now.

I thought Disney owned the Pixar name now, but all the creatives (like lassetar) had gone off to another company.
So the new Pixar films, aren't actually made by Pixar but are released under that name.

Or soemthing

# not in the slightest
Disney bought Pixar for a huuuuuuuuuge amount of cash and appointed John Lasseter as creative head of both companies. Which explains why
Meet the Robinsons, Bolt and even the Tinkerbell movies have had a stroke of genius on them and the 2d Princess and the Frog looks like it may be a return to Disney glory days too.

(and now with Disney absorbing Marvel too, Disney is possibly all of the win)

# Just read the wiki page...
I must have heard some rumour around the time of the takeover, and my brain just shut down at that point and assumed that was what happened

# Lasseter's a director in Disney
Disney have absorbed Pixar but they still have a sort of independance because Lasseters' a director and has said they can carry on what they're doing.

With the success they've had, who's going to argue?

Edit: Wot HT sed /\
