First off, I must say that I'm shocked by the few negative reviews of the movie. I was personally amazed at the movie. It was graphically stunning (despite being used to CG), the story was good, the comedy was hilarious and the action was fantastic. I give it the distinct honor of a Xeph A+. This is not handed out to many movies!
Secondly, Pixar won't be "up for grabs", per se. Their contract with Disney will be fulfilled and they'll be able to work strictly on their own. They'll only need a good distribution deal like Lucas has with Fox regarding the Star Wars franchise, and all will be well in the world. Sadly, it means that "The Incredibles 2" may not be possible, or might be done by Disney (ala Lion King 1 1/2), which is a serious tragedy. Disney is a great company, but their penchant for rehashing the same story and characters doesn't fly in the 21st century. Pixar will do, IMHO, wonderfully as a stand-alone company, Jobs, Eisner and everyone else be damned.
