I don't know much about the technology Pixar uses, but it seems to me that it will eventually be used for standard movies not just cartoons. Movies like Jurassic Park could be done directly without all the steps of painting T-Rex skin over a skeletal matrix. World War II movies could be done after all the airplanes and tanks are in museums. THAT's where I see the potential. Cartoons are just a precursor to that. How long it will take to get to that point I don't know, but that is why I am long.

rory,
Good post with good points. One thing that keeps me confident that PIXR will be OK long-term. It's Steve Jobs. Think about who you would want to work for if you are a young and talented animator. Considering that Jobs invented the PC, and working for him is a little like working for Thomas Edison about 100 years ago.

I think the Jobs factor will keep the company attracting the best and the brightest.
