Question 1.7.5 Disney’s takeover of Pixar
a) There are quite a few benefits for Disney by acquiring Pixar. One of the main benefits Disney would acquire would be “synergy”. Synergy is a main benefit because of the fact, that many of the animated films created by Pixar became hits for Disney like Finding Nemo. This means that taking over Pixar would allow Disney to take advantage of the animating expertise at Pixar and create even more hits. The second main benefit for Disney by acquiring Pixar would be an increase in profits. Since acquiring Pixar would allow Disney to make even more animated films and with Pixar’s rate of success that could lead to a high profit. Additionally, by acquiring Pixar they would be able to continue to sell merchandise for films like Buzz Lightyear and earn profits from that without having to follow a distribution deal.
