CNN
is reporting that
Disney is buying Pixar for $7.4 billion, confirming lots of speculation as of late. Jobs will join the board of Disney
while John Lasseter, the creative spirit behind Pixar, will become chief creative officer for the combined animation
studio. I hope this means only good things for Disney, and no bad things for Pixar. Only time will tell.

Looks like Disney gets everything they want and Steve Jobs gets some new influence in Hollywood. I just liveblogged the CNBC interview with Jobs and Iger on my blog. Looked like two chums, one selling a car to the other.
I think this bodes well for Disney. Especially if John Lasseter is given free reign in Animation and able to stop some of the lower quality projects currently in the pipeline at Disney.

I hope Disney finds the Nemo they're looking for... Now if they would only re-release "The Black Caldron." That movie rules!
