Gotta love Toy Story 2. Pixar is going to try to get movies out there more often... speeding up to one a year. Sounds like a good company to me, and the stock has been a bit depressed as of late |

Max, it sounds like you're saying there isn't a strong short-term correlation between the company's business and the stock price. That sounds to me like an opportunity... when the stock is low but business is good, buy, and when the stock is high but business is bad, sell. |

Who can figure out movie studios? Yesterday, Pixar slid $6 1/8 to $42 after posting Q2 earnings of $0.13, up from last year's $0.04 and $0.02 ahead of the estimate. However, the company said during a conference call that U.S. video sales and product licensing revenues for its movie A Bug's Life have been less than anticipated. I used to invest personally in Ascent Communications, whose main business (besides owning the Denver Nuggets and Avalanche - they sold that off last year) was churning out movies. And I could never find a correlation between releasing good movies (there best was Air Force One) and a stock price move. When it finally fell down to 6, i sold. However, it's now back up to 16 (the only reason I can see is the sell off of the sports teams). Besides sucking for me, my point is that the movie studio industry is just too hard to read. An educated guess would assume that Pixar will raise again when Toy Story 2 comes out, but who knows? |

Kind of as a response to Lee's early April message, I don't think Pixar needs to really worry about the saturation - Pixar has such a different animated product (realism) that they can deliver. It's kind of like where disney was in '89 with the Little Mermaid (the sudden new advances in animation). So I wouldn't bet against Pixar (especially with such can't miss hits such as Toy Story II and a newly announced Monsters, Inc. about Monsters only children knew existed in their bedrooms)until they have a bomb (a la the cycle of Disney). Maybe that's how the animation market is - governed by cycles of wonder and beenthereseenthat over and over. |

Found this on the USA Today site: The growth of animated movies by such studios as Walt Disney, DreamWorks and Warner Bros. could "saturate" the market, according to a filing Wednesday by the maker of Toy Story and A Bug's Life. The next wave of animated movies worries Pixar. In June, Disney's Tarzan hits the screens. Pixar releases Toy Story 2 in December. DreamWorks' The Road to Eldorado comes out in spring 2000. And a Rugrats sequel is planned for fall 2000. That comes on the heels of Pixar's 2001 release of its highly secretive Film Four. The saturation of the market "could result in the failure of (Pixar's) films to achieve the extraordinary commercial success required" for the company to reap profits from such films. |

Those numbers were actually better than expected. Such is the nature of the business. 1997 numbers were helped by Toy Story, 1999 numbers will be helped by A Bug's Life, 1998 numbers were not helped by anything. They're now cranking out about one movie per year, so that should help their revenue consistency from year to year, at least a little. |

Revenues for the fourth quarter were $3.1 million compared with $7.1 million in the fourth quarter of 1997. Net income for the fourth quarter was $1.1 million compared with $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 1997. Ouch! |

Movie sequels are usually pretty lame compared to their predecessors, but I think the new Toy Story will be better than the first one, because the technology has improved a lot. |

I heard that Toy Story II is expected to be released around Thanksgiving 1999. They've also started working on a movie for 2000 but I don't know what it's about. |

mr big- The next release is Toy Story II. There was no specific release date. . . just sometime in 1999. |
