Pixar Animation Studios: Home of the Toys

(3 of 3)

Now with Toy Story 2 generating good buzz and A Bug's Life's profits finally pouring in, Merrill Lynch and other analysts have put Pixar back on the "accumulate" list. Lasseter and his crew will be over at Lucas' Skywalker Ranch this week, finishing up the sound and music, while everyone else at the studio--confident they have a hit on their hands--is preparing for the annual Halloween costume party. Maybe this is the way to run a $2 billion company after all.
