Maybe 'lucky', but not a legend. In fact his film handling at Disney might have seriously tarnished his 'legend' status.<br /><br />I hope he fixes Cars 2 as better than he fixed Bolt and Meet the Robinsons - or than Cars 1 for that matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-46893891911034408162010-01-23T11:37:49.713-08:002010-01-23T11:37:49.713-08:00Pixar should be like that, right?
