Pixar Splitting!

I’m a big fan of cartoons. I grew up on the Disney Channel shorts with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, the whole gang. Later on I got into the Japanese anime cartoons, with over proportioned girls, outrageous blood and guts, and super evil villains. I didn’t stray from the cute and fun cartoons as I still watched Tom and Jerry, Sponge Bob Square Pants, and my favorite Cartoon Network show by leaps and bounds: The Power Puff Girls. It’s taken me a bit of time to recognize and appreciate the art of digital animation. Pixar started out with the movie Toy Story and has since then made six total movies grossing more money than I could spend in four greedy lifetimes. This week Pixar announced that they’re stock spilt 1-2. For stock market dummies such as myself, this means they have 200 million shares now, before they had a mere 100 million shares. The share holders also have double the number of shares that they used to have.

It looks like we’ll be entertained by more digitally animated features from the innovative company in the near and far future. This is good news to an animation lover like me, bring on the toons!
