Is Disney Group just the publisher of the animated movie "Monster Electric"?

Of course it's not just that!

In the early 1990s when Pixar Animation was not yet on the rise, Pixar Animation was extremely short of funds, and Jobs regretted buying Pixar more than once. Moreover, even the production funding of the famous work "Toy Story 1" animated film that Pixar started with was as high as 35 million US dollars, all came from Disney Group.

It can be said that without the financial assistance provided by Disney Group, there would be no subsequent rise of Pixar animation.

However, Disney is not a philanthropist!

Pixar received $35 million in production funding, but it also paid an extremely huge price, including peripheral authorization!

As we all know, Hollywood movies’ income in peripheral licensing is often 1.5 to 2 times the box office revenue of movies.

It's highly likely that's the case.

Animated movies are even more popular, often with more than twice the profit.

But Pixar animation is very sad.

In the 1990s, Jobs made up to $35 million in production funds for the animation film "Toy Story 1", at the cost of giving up the bulk of Pixar's peripheral licensing income in the next few years to Disney Group.

Pixar's convenient profits are only 12.5%!

The big winner is always Disney Group!

Jobs regretted more than once: "In the early 1990s, we got $35 million from Disney, but today, in just a few years, we have created more than 10 US dollars for Disney, and even more!"

John Lasseter, the leader of the Five Pixar Tigers, also complained to Zucker after drinking.

He said: "The majority of the peripheral income is from Disney Group, including the peripheral authorized purchase and sale decisions. They are also from Disney Group. As the copyright owner and producer, we only have the right to suggest. How frustrating is this!"

Pixar Animation, it is the most awesome animation company in the United States today.

However, it is also the most depressing animation company in the United States, no doubt about it.

Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg and mayor of New York, also talked about the relationship between Disney and Pixar in a TV interview.

"If Pixar had not received the $35 million in Disney's funding, then, could Pixar animation survive that year?"

"So, we cannot just see Disney's exploitation of Pixar today!"

"In other words, is this Disney's reasonable and legal income? After all, Disney Group took a huge risk when it took $35 million."

"Is the animated movie "Toy Story" successful? Pixar Animation survived? And it has become the most powerful animation company in the United States today, and Disney has benefited from it? I think this is a win-win cooperation."

Does Michael Bloomberg's words make sense?

Of course it makes sense!

But? The people of Pixar animation don’t think so; Jobs himself is even more dissatisfied!

Just like now...

Disney Chairman Michael Eisner said at Pixar Animation Company with a domineering instruction: "We Disney Group has a perfect plan for everything about the release of "Monster Electric Power Company". You Disney cooperate with you and we have everything."

"snort!"

Where could Jobs suffer such a frustration? He immediately snorted: "We Pixar are the producers of "Monster Electric Company"? We are not bystanders."

Pooh ~

"Okay, okay, you're right~"

Michael Eisner immediately laughed, his eyes slanted, and he said in a very perfunctory manner: "We Disney never treat you Pixar badly. Of course, don't forget? We Disney have the final decision on copyright and peripheral authorization."

"If you forget, I suggest you take out the contract and look through it again."

“…”

Jobs was furious.

From beginning to end? Jobs was not a settled person, otherwise he would not have been regarded as a representative figure of the word "rebellion" by countless people.

But now?

He was silent? He was speechless, he could only passively surrender? Even though he now returns to Apple as chairman and CEO.

The meeting ended in a bad mood.

In the car? The secretary couldn't help but smile and said, "Boss? I saw it. The famous Jobs's face turned purple. If he was seen by his admirers, he would probably be frustrated to death."

The words fell.

Disney Chairman Michael Eisner couldn't help but raise his lips slightly: "As long as Disney exists for one day and as long as I am still the chairman of Disney, Pixar Animation will never be able to turn over and can only fall under our Disney."

"Jobs..."

"Haha! Others say he has a bad temper, is it that my temper is good?"

In the words, Michael Eisner was full of disdain and never took Jobs seriously.

......

Burbank Villa.

Tonight, Zucker invited John Lasseter, the leader of the Five Pixar Generals, to be a Hakka.

"Lasseter, it's not two days since "Monster Electric Power Company" and "Flying House Global" were released. I have to remind you that this time the showdown will definitely be me who won the final victory!"

Zuckerton said.

John Lasseter smiled and said, "Do you think the Water World Animation under your name can complete "Flying House Global" so quickly without our Pixar's technical support?"

Zhuke said unwillingly: "I don't deny this. But you Pixar also benefited a lot in the process of our cooperation."

John Lasseter stopped talking this time.

What did Pixar get?

Pixar Animation has gained a chance to leave Disney in the future!

If Jobs hadn't insisted on letting Pixar Animation go public and thus gaining a large amount of funds, Pixar Animation would have long become one of Disney's subsidiaries.

But even so, Pixar animation is still not easy now and is under control of all aspects of Disney.

Zhuke continued: "I still say the same thing. In the future, Pixar will definitely help you, and this is...my promise."

......

Time passes by rapidly.

This day was November 3, 2001.

It is also the day when Water World Animation Company's new work "Flying House Global" and Pixar's new work "Monster Electric Power Company" was released at the same time.

Countless audiences who love animation movies in the United States flocked to the theaters frantically, and they felt extremely happy today.

Since the 9/11 incident, the long-silent North American film market has finally ushered in a big explosion.

The theaters, Hollywood colleagues, and media reporters are all paying great attention.

"Water World Animation and Pixar Animation, who can become the savior of the current North American film market?"

This topic has become the focus of many people.
