According to "Bizjournals.com", This week, as expected, The Walt Disney Co. bought out Pixar Animation Studios in a $7.4 billion deal.
The move comes as new Disney CEO Robert Iger is making efforts to get Disney back to its roots in animated-feature movies.
In an informal Los Angeles Business survey, a majority of readers think that the merger will do just that, as 53 percent said that Disney will once again be tops in animated features.

However, plenty of people think that the merger will not work, as 44 percent said that Pixar will be ruined under Disney’s watch.
