The Buzz: July 2004

Disney and Pixar back together again?

In another turn for the merry-go-round of this story, the New York Post is now reporting that: "Steve Jobs' Pixar Animation Studios is likely to renew a lucrative movie-making partnership with Disney, according to sources familiar with the matter." Essentially after taking interviews with other studios, Jobs decided that Disney is still Pixar's best choice. Rumour is that Disney and Pixar could be making the announcement as early as he San Diego Comic-Con although it is being emphasized that these are still rumours at this point.
