Since 2006 Disney owns Pixar. It was purchased by a stock only transaction worth over $7 billion.
The deal made John Lasseter, formerly Executive Vice President of Pixar, Chief Creative Officer of both Disney and Pixar.
Ah yes! Thanks, Imagineer.
Did this signifcantly change the way Pixar does business and/or makes decisions? Does the larger Disney company (i.e. executives other than Lasseter) have a significant authority over what Pixar is doing, or is the acquisition more or less in name only?
Just wondering if anyone has inside info...
