OT: Animation Fans Rejoice! The Disney-Pixar thing.

Sorta off-topic but hours after the Disney acquisition of Pixar, John Lassiter scrapped the Toy Story 3 project.

A bitter idea, where the partner who didn't create the original films (Disney) decides to make a sequel "because they could" without any regard for story, the original creators (Pixar), and purely for financial gain. Let's be honest, with the run of Cinderella 2's and Lion King 2.5's and I'm sure there is a 3 in their library somewhere, plus the rash of remakes, it's heartening that Disney now has an animation soul once again. I loved the quote from the link, above:

"sequels should only be made if there is a really great story that demands it, and should be the domain of those who created the original film."

Does anyone have any Champaign?
