Rumors of Disney buying Pixar are heating up again. I think this would be a good thing for Disney; whether it would be a good thing for Pixar or animation fans is another question. (Do we want anyone involved with recent Disney features being allowed to boss John Lasseter or Brad Bird around?)

I do sort of like the idea of Steve Jobs becoming chairman of Disney, though: In multiple ways, he reminds me of Walt. (With Woz as Ub.) And he's head of the company that's made more good animated features than any company since Walt-era Disney…
