∙ 14y agoDisney bought Pixar for a number of reasons. Mainly, the old contract signed by the two companies had expired, and Pixar was looking for more creative freedom. This created a lot of tensions between the two companies. At the same time, Disney was looking for a fresh start from their old C.E.O Micheal Eisner, and wanted to adapt the "Pixar" spirit at the company. Mr. Eisner was removed from the board, and Pixar was bought by the company. In doing so, John Lasseter (Pixar's creative leader), became the chief creative officer of both companies. Dispite the ownership of Pixar, they have agreed that Pixar can remove itself from the Walt Disney company at anytime (with the penalty of a large sum of money) and Disney cannot influence or work on Pixar's projects. In addition, Pixar now funds there own movies, and does not require funding from Disney.
