Pixar Creative Chief to Seek to Restore the Disney Magic - New York Times: "If Wall Street has been fascinated by the pas de deux featuring Robert A. Iger of the Walt Disney Company and Steven P. Jobs of Pixar Animation Studios, animators have been transfixed by someone else caught up in the dance: Pixar's creative leader, John A. Lasseter, who will now face the challenge of reviving Disney's weakened animation unit without losing the magic at home."
