Pixar Takes Aim at Disney (http://www.thestreet.com/_tscs/tech/georgemannes/10141772.html) - The Street.com, 2/4/04
QuikQuote: Although professing some regret over Pixar's decision to end the company's distribution deal with Disney, Jobs made clear his disdain for Eisner and much of the rest of the Disney organization, and made it clear there was minimal chance of extending Pixar's current deal with Disney, under which Disney will distribute two more films over the next two years.
Jobs' comments, which came on a conference call with analysts, made it all but official that Pixar will have as little as possible to do with Disney over the coming years, and that one of the other four major studios in Hollywood will be distributing Pixar's future movies.
