Pixar board approves Disney takeover

Bah! Pessimists! I think Pixar will remain true to its creative integrity for at least a few more years.

WAIT!!! Did that say takeover? As in Disney will OWN Pixar? I am such a dunce. I totally thought it was another distribution deal. This can't be good.

Well, hell- they already owned the rights to the majority of the Pixar's characters. It would take years for Pixar to build up again, and they're no longer the only CGI kids on the block. This will be interesting no matter what, with Jobs being the largest shareholder. If creativity is stifled, then that just leaves things open for another company to step up to the plate.

I wonder what this may do to the Microsoft/Disney relationship?
