Jobs Jabs Disney As Pixar Earnings Soar (http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/biz/content/business/ap_story.html/Financial/AP.V8698.AP-Earns-Pixar.html;COXnetJSessionID=AhXI2jcPko9SGn9Z2JAbQS oYpXLYdR3Bq1MBZ81XaH3K2YzTS4il!-1409227676?urac=n&urvf=10759433045360.47262068626895226) - AP, 2/4/04
QuikQuote: In a conference call with analysts to discuss Pixar's earnings, Jobs took a slap at Disney's recent animated films. "The truth is there has been little creative collaboration with Disney for years,'' Jobs said. "You can compare the creative quality (of Pixar films) with the creative quality of Disney's last three films and judge each company's creative ability yourselves.''
Jobs criticized Disney's last two animated efforts, this year's "Brother Bear'' and last year's "Treasure Planet,'' as "flops.'' "No amount of marketing will turn a dud into a hit,'' Jobs said.
