So, the Disney buyout of Pixar is official! This means Steve Jobs, who doubles as chief executive of Apple Computer Inc., will take a seat on Disney's board. He also becomes Disney's largest individual shareholder. Further, several Pixar executives will oversee Disney's animation unit along with their own operations. This move by Jobs into the house of Mickey Mouse will radically change the venerable Hollywood studio, analysts say. ``There is no middle ground with a meeting with Steve Jobs,'' said Richard Doherty, an analyst with the Envisioneering Group. ``You are either contributing to something he has thought of, or you are agreeing to something he has thought of.'' In other words… Do it my way, or you are mouse droppings. As Doherty so succinctly put it… ``His magic is seeing value where others don't,'' Damn right… Particularly when most of the value goes to Steve. Maybe now we’ll start to see some decent Disney advertising!
From now on, everyone, including Mickey and Minnie, will wear black!
