>I also read that if Nemo does well, it would give Pixar more leverage in its escape from Disney. I think that's a lock...

I'm not sure Pixar
wants to "escape" from Disney.
On Disney's cable

channel, they do tons
of commercials and tie-ins
for Pixar movies.

(Now and then I watch
Disney for "Lizzie McGuire.")
If Pixar breaks "free,"

that saturation
kind of advertising costs
a whole lotta cash...

I bet that either
Pixar stays independent,
OR Jobs will SOMEHOW

buy Disney himself
and merge Disney to Pixar...
Then he could clean house...

>I bet that either Pixar stays independent..."

Opps. I meant to say,
"Pixar stays independent
but with agreements

for distribution
and advertising links with
Disney, but they'll get

better terms." Disney's
marketing clout is too great
to walk away from.
