Lasseter takes charge
"We would never seek to suggest, to tell Disney what they should do."
—Steve Jobs, Pixar earnings conference call, May 2005
"On Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Mr Jobs and Disney's new chief executive, Bob Iger, unveiled the merger, [Pixar creative chief John] Lasseter went to Burbank with Pixar's president, Ed Catmull. He announced that Toy Story 3 would now be scrapped, without a word about the fate of the animation team."
