“LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 Pixar Animation Studios, which produced last summer’s popular ‘Finding Nemo,’ said on Thursday that it was ending talks on continuing its 12-year partnership with the Walt Disney Company and would seek another studio to distribute its films, beginning in 2006.”
This is groundshaking in Mouse terms.
Face it; Movie wise, Pixar has been the only real outlet for Disney’s animated wares for some time. Some of the non-Pixar CA stuff they’ve turned out of late just didn’t make it… “The Winnie The Pooh Movie” as an example. The animation was simply awful; even the kids watching it said as much. I can’t imagine the Mouse competeing against Pixar toe to toe, and coming away with much of anything.
Matter of time, now before Eisner is gone.
