According to The L.A. Times, Disney CEO Michael Eisner and Pixar CEO Steve Jobs have been publicly sparring with each other this week. When asked about Disney’s computer animation efforts during an investor conference last week Eisner “described as ‘pretty pathetic’ the computerized human characters created by Pixar, compared with the ones Disney itself is working on with veteran animator Glen Keane, director of the studio’s forthcoming film Rapunzel Unbraided”. Later that week during a conference call with analysts Jobs responded sarcastically, “Our films don’t stack up to Atlantis, Emperor’s New Groove, or Treasure Planet”. Jobs added that Eisner was a “loose cannon” and figured “that it explained why Eisner would say such a thing”.
