Does anyone, but me, feel disney stole the characters that pixar created and pawned them off as their own, before they actully merged. Before i saw this documentry i honestly thought; "Toy Story", "Monsters INC.", "Bugs Life", and so on were disney, am i alone in thinking disney is a credit whore?
shareWhen I think of PIXAR'S movies, I think just that, PIXAR. I always find myself thinking Pixar did it again. Another awesome movie. Disney deserves no credit for their awesome work. If you watch the documentary you will find out that Toy Story was a piece of junk when doing it disney's way. When they did it how they wanted, we got the masterpiece we know and love today.
shareMaybe I've always been a specific, detailed person, but I always recognized those movies as purely PIXAR's creations. (Though as a kid, I'd connect it to Disney as "Disney-PIXAR" because that's how I would see the credits, in an abbreviated way)
I think that yes, Disney has their own sort of tradition/reputation in their movies and they often want to keep movies within those standards, possibly out of fear of flops that would be blamed on them because of their name, but PIXAR has given a wellneeded push over Disney in their new, seperate characteristics.
I've always seen Disney and PIXAR as a collaboration, but I also see them as two almost entirely different companies. Neither is taking over each other; PIXAR still has their say in things and people definitely recognize and credit them in their own individuality.

I always thought of them as Disney/Pixar films. I had no idea until recently that all Disney did was market them. xD

Disney is the one that pays for them, I believe.

I don't think Disney has taken any more credit than they deserve. I've never thought that Disney made the movies on their own or anything.
Disney is the reason that Pixar was ever able to make feature films. Without Disney, Pixar probably would have continued to lose money year by year until the company had to shut down. We wouldn't have any of the Pixar movies that we love.
The credits have always been Disney/Pixar. Disney is the bigger, longer-lasting company that fronts the money and distributes the movies. I don't think they've ever taken credit for creating the characters or anything. If you assumed that, then that's not Disney's fault.
Be glad they have the respect to give the people at Pixar the creative freedom that they do. Not a lot of production companies would do that.
Well it was all Michael Eisners doing. If Pixar had left, Disney would have taken there characters. So yeah they kind of almost stole from them. But since Eisner was fired the wrongs have been righted.
shareIt always reminds me of Dreamworks and Aardman, Dreamworks being the huge company that funded the movies and Aardman the quite a lot less well known company that spent years doing the whole clay animation thing with little help.
And on IMDb I always see people saying 'Dreamworks did Chicken Run' and things like that.
But yeah, most people I know think Disney do the Toy Story movies and Finding Nemo, and all the others. I always knew it was Pixar, but this documentary showed me just what the difference was.
