"Steve Jobs continues to maintain that Pixar and Disney will not renew their distribution agreement. Specifically, Jobs has said the company would not participate in sequels to "Monsters Inc.," "Finding Nemo," and "The Incredibles," as well as "Toy Story 3," all of which Disney plans to make.

Eisner called Pixar's human animation "pathetic," to which Jobs retorted, "I know our films don't stack up against films like 'Atlantis' or 'Emperor's New Groove,' or 'Treasure Planet.' We just kind of wrote that off to Michael being a loose canon."

Eisner is a censored as it is, don't be surprised. I'm glad to see Pixar go it on there own, Disney helped them get off the ground and become a household name but now Pixar no longer needs them.

I laughed at what Eisner says, he's probably just censored that he won't be getting anymore millions of dollars they've been leeching off Pixar from for the past seven years. Steve Jobs hates Eisner and for good reasons, Eisner can't run a company for crap anyway, Disney is doomed, like I care though.

I'm tired of this Disney is doomed stuff.
It's not doomed.
It's pulling in millions of dollars through the parks, and merchandising. Not to mention what it makes from movies. It has profited from every cartoon movie it's made in the past 20 years.

Eisner may be bad for the company, i'll grant you that, but Eisner won't be there forever. People realise whats going on at Disney. It's OBVIOUS about whats going on at Disney. People won't stand for it once Eisners gone, and i'm pretty sure reforms will be made.
I wouldn't be calling it's doom yet.
Not to mention that it's gone through lulls before with the movie qualities.
Thats no new news for Disney.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to make continual hits? What the Disney company has done is amazing, let them lull for now, it'll pick back up.

"While it has taken three years to reach this point, our efforts to remove Michael Eisner as CEO of the Walt Disney Company have finally succeeded. Even the Disney Board, which has proven unresponsive to its shareholders, recognized that it had to take this action after our campaign which resulted in a resounding 45% No Confidence Vote on Michael Eisner last year."

Unfortunately, our concerns regarding this Board's process to replace Mr. Eisner were well-founded. We find it incomprehensible that the Board of Directors of Disney failed to find a single external candidate interested in the job and thus handed Bob Iger the job by default. We find it very telling that Mr. Mitchell refused to answer repeated questions about whether the entire Board had interviewed more than one external candidate. The Board has failed in what is clearly one of their most important responsibilities, the selection of the Company's CEO.

The need for the Walt Disney Company to have a clean break from the prior regime and to change the leadership culture has been glaringly obvious to everyone except this Board. The scathing portrait painted by James Stewart in DisneyWar has been widely reported without serious challenge or contradiction. A Board that is so deaf and insular cannot be entrusted to provide independent stewardship to this valuable, unique institution.

The selection of Bob Iger is yet another example of this Board's breach of faith. The pledge made by Chairman Mitchell to conduct a bona fide search was a ruse to avoid a contest at the 2005 annual meeting. Mr. Mitchell's approach to good governance is no better than a carny at the fair, enticing words but in the end the game is rigged. Disney Shareholders have been conned and their trust in this Board abused.
