Pixar Takes a Dump

The last month or two have been interesting. Not too long ago, DreamWorks stock took a fall after they over estimated how many Shrek 2 DVD's would sell, then just yesterday, the same thing happens to Pixar. It seems that they overestimated sales of The Incredibles. Their stock took a nasty bite too. continued...

I'm not sure what is going on, but I find it odd that the two companies both had very similar problems. It probably isn't anything more than a current slow period of DVD buyers. Same thing is happening with theatre take. Everything seems to be in a lull. I don't think we are seeing any new trends, just a temporary slump.

Speaking of Pixar and The Incredibles. There is an event going on July 29th that Brad Bird will be participating in. You can find out more here: http://www.oscars.org/events/animated_performance/index.html
