You are right of course, but who gave those two such autonomy? Jobs knows that autonomy is what makes Pixar so great. Will the other Disney "overloards" realize that or just grind Pixar into the ground like they did with their own (once brilliant) animation studio?
- jcl 18y agoPart of the Pixar/Disney deal was that Lasseter be put in charge of all Disney animation ("Chief Creative Officer"). Disney Animation Studios is presumably in good hands now... once they flush out all the stuff that was in the tubes prior to the merger. (Edit: ...assuming, of course, that Mr. Lasseter's hormones remain OK. This is another case of a particular individual succeeding where a group failed, so there are similar risks.)
- froo 18y agoClose but not the full story. Ed Catmull was put in charge ("president") of all Disney and Pixar Animation and Lasseter was made CCO as you said, so both have control of both animation studios.
