Disney loves Pixar

I am so happy that my kids are old enough now that we don't have to see every Disney film that comes out - whether in the theater or on DVD.  In our short tenure, we've had to sit through enough Disney crap.  Other than The Tigger Movie, the Pooh revivals have been disgraceful.  I actually fell asleep during the sequel to Peter Pan.  The straight to DVD stuff has been worse. 
 
The only bright light in animated entertainment has been Pixar.  Down the line, we've enjoyed every single Pixar film.  Now, there are excessive rumors that Pixar and Disney might merge.  Uggg.  http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2006/01/20/BUGLAGQ6FP1.DTL&type=business
 
I hate to say it, but Disney is creatively bankrupt.  There is nothing left.  If Pixar merges with them I fear that they will suck all of their creativity into a morass of dumbed down poppycock.  Just say no, Mr. Jobs.  Please.  For the kids sake.  I understand the desire to get your sequels back.  Disney will probably ruin those.  Find another way.  Don't let your culture be assimilated.
