iDeal: Pixar takes over Disney Animation and Imagineering

So unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard that Disney is buying Pixar. But what I find particularly interesting and exciting - aside from the obvious implications for Apple - is that Pixar will actually take over the entire Disney animation unit, and John Lasseter will also take the reins of Disney Imagineering (encompassing Disney theme parks).

Disney's purchase of Pixar is smelling a whole lot like Apple's purchase of NeXT. And that's a very good thing.
