Pixar (PIXR) hints at a Disney (DIS) reunion (quotes from conf call)
Below are some comments from Pixar (ticker: PIXR) from its May 5, 2005 conference call with investors.
On conversations with Disney’s CEO-elect Robert Iger:
Speaking of Disney, I had some nice conversations with Bob Iger but we are not yet in any negotiations to strike a new deal with Disney at this time. We are still waiting to see what happens and we will let you know when something, if something starts to happen….
…as I mentioned I've had a few nice conversations with Bob Iger, getting to know him a little bit.
He seems like a terrific guy and we will see when the conversations turn, if they turn to Disney wanting to strike a new deal with us we will see how things go.
…as you know we have not struck a deal with anybody else. We were waiting to see what happened at Disney. And so as Bob as Bob assumes control of the company we will figure out fairly quick if there's some common grounds or not. When we reach any conclusions we will let you know.
Quick comment: In contrast to Jobs' praise of Iger during today's call, during a previous conference call he referred to Michael Eisner as a 'loose cannon'.
