What mad world are we living in where Disney — Disney — is paying someone to lose control over its IP?

Disney has been a wannabe tech company for the longest of times. They started the streaming Wars with Disney+ and have had massive spend on AI already. There is virtually no creative or artistic talent left in the company.

Toy Story was essentially a tech demo for Pixar. And they worked alongside Apple to make the Squeak Smalltalk programming language.

Pixar was bought by Disney years after it was already a movie powerhouse. Toy Story was released in 1995; Disney acquired Pixar in 2006.
