That's a lot of fish sticks.
Holy cow -- Pixar Earnings Soar on Popularity of Finding Nemo. As in 400 percent. As in $84 million compared to $17 million in the year-ago quarter.
Maybe Pixar will be just fine without Disney after all.
Oh, Pixar will be sitting pretty.
The Disney/Pixar breakup will be a minor annoyance for them. It's Disney that shot themselves in the foot with their usual insistence on total control.
Yeah, maybe. Although I did read a contrary-to-the-norm report that said that the breakup was partly Steve Jobs' fault for wanting to rewrite their existing contract to cut Disney out of a bunch of money they'd already agreed to. Which sounds Jobsian, but, well, seems like a valid negotiating tactic to me. I mean, isn't that what a contract renegotiation is?
