My love for Pixar is well-documented. I also have a 2 year old daughter in the house, and have to be careful to watch my language around her. So when I read this, my immediate reaction was to shout "F*CK!" Allison scolds me from across the room, reminding me that little pitchers have big ears, but when I read the headline outloud she answered with "SH*T!"

The analysis on Cartoon Brew is probably the most promising I've seen so far, since it at least allows the possibility that Pixar could infect Disney, and not the other way around. I'm not holding out hope. I think that, thirty years from now, we'll look back at the brief golden age that was the initial run of Pixar films, all commercial and critical darlings, before things went really, really bad.
