| A Little Stock Talk |
As you have probably heard Disney agreed to purchased Pixar for a mere 7.4 Billion in stock yesterday. Why mere you ask? Because can you really place a price on a good creative decision?
One immediate sign of Lasseter's influence is that plans for Disney to make the long rumored sequel "Toy Story 3" on its own have been scrapped. If the film is made, it will be done by Lasseter and the other creators of the original film, the companies said.
While I do own Disney stock (which has lost money since the day I purchased it, Thank you very much) it is not my stock price I think about when hearing of this deal. Oh no, it is the far more important movie watching experience of which I speak. One of my jobs as Auntie to my numerous sibling progeny is to attend the latest animated movie. Those little tykes have me on speed dial and I have sat through a few recent Disney dogs (Lilo & Stich and Chicken Little are two painful movie watching experiences I hope to never repeat).
So if this deal means a return to good movie watching fare ala Toy Story then it is worth all those Billions. |

I think it would be win/win for you! If they'd make another Toy Story, I'd imagine you not only wouldn't have to sit through another bad movie, but you'd see that stock price jump a little!

The win/win would be a great thing. I will have to peek at my account tonight to see if Disney managed to move up any.

Huh, I love Lilo & Stitch (though I thought Chicken Little looked pretty darn bad so I didnt bother) I didn't expect much though, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
