As you've already heard by now, Disney bought Pixar for about $7.5 billion a few days ago, and now comes word that the first new move ... is to scrap the "Toy Story 3" project -- at least for now.
From the AP Wire comes the new tidbit: "One immediate sign of Lasseter's influence is that plans for Disney to make the long rumored sequel "Toy Story 3" on its own have been scrapped. If the film is made, it will be done by Lasseter and the other creators of the original film, the companies said."

As far as I can tell the original "Disney" plot was that Buzz gets recalled to Taiwan. Odd, interresting premise, but I am absolutely extatic that Disney will not tarnish the film by making a sequal themselves. I still don't like Pixar being owned by Disney, but as long as there's hope of creative control in Pixar, may Toys Story 3 rock under Pixar's might... not become a Disney Cheapqual.

When I read the title, i thought Pixar was recalling the TS2: SE DVD release. Good to know that Pixar has creative control and that maybe they won't flounder like their parent company, and maybe even pull Disney back from the brink.

Not necessarily. If they put out too much at one time, the market's getting too much to carry. People will not be able to buy everything, DVDs will remain in stores, pile up, use up space. Disney on the other hand has already had all the expenses to produce, ship and advertise the DVDs yet they're not earning a cent.

That's basic economics. Didn't you pay attention at school?

Tough. They'd kill their repeat market.

This is a good thing. At least something good came of this.
