Good synergy, but $6.7 billion, that seems overvalued to me. What has Pixar done lately to command such value?

Pixar has had nothing but solid successes. Its animation is clever, fresh and timeless. Both the art and the scripts have been outstanding. "The Incredibles" is not only one of the best animated films ever made, it is also one of the best films ever made.

Disney animation has had a long string of flops. Its animation has been short in length, poorly animated and depends on Rossanne Barr type humor. I think "Aladin" may have been the last enjoyable Disney animation, which was released about a decade ago.

Disney needs Pixar because they've fired most of their animation staff. With Jobs as the biggest stockholder, maybe he can set Disney on the right course.

If Disney buys it, they'll ruin it.

It sounds like Disney wants to get into the Family Entertainment business.

They aren't doing that well with the "Fudge-Packing" films.
