edit war re inclusion of class action suit[edit]
Article missing information or otherwise not making sense.[edit]
In the section starting with "The two companies attempted to reach a new agreement for ten months and failed...", a series of dates are listed then an apparent result is mentioned, but neither seems to match the objective of the start of the paragraph. Danlo88 (talk) 19:59, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

"Ducks" has not been officially announced.[edit]
@ZX2006XZ To be short, no one has officially confirmed this project's existence. Until that happens, it remains a rumor. DanielRPK and WorldofReel are not reputable sources to confirm or deny, it needs to come from someone close to production or Disney/Pixar themselves. That's as simple as it is, really.
Beyond this article, the mention of this project's existence is also featured in List of Pixar films and List of Walt Disney Pictures films. It should be removed from there as well. Madyoshi01 (talk) 02:12, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Madyoshi01, it's no longer rumored. Info here. ZX2006XZ (talk) 20:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- As @Geraldo Perez has said, a personal blog and an unverified Twitter account are not reliable sources; and as I've told you there, your sources beyond that are unreliable at best. I know this is a good faith edit, but none of your sources are valid.
- The film has to be officially announced to be properly listed. Iger's words regarding Toy Story 5 are an example of this. I'm not saying the film doesn't exist, it wouldn't be the first time a film's development gets leaked before a proper announcement. But, as it stands now, it's not properly announced, and considering this, it shouldn't be part of any article.
- Wait until a proper announcement. Madyoshi01 (talk) 21:20, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
I think the "$26 million dollar deal with Disney" claim is false. What to do?[edit]
I'm talking about this sentence:
Pixar made a historic $26 million deal with Disney to produce three computer-animated feature films, the first of which was Toy Story, the product of the technological limitations that challenged CGI. [37]
The Newsweek article on Toy Story 4 that is cited there ([37]) mentions nothing of this deal. If I search on the internet to corroborate this $26 million dollar deal, I only get recent results (last several years) that are all from summary articles (ie. not detailed secondary sources) with suspiciously similar phrasing to the above sentence.
Doing brief research, I found an SEC filing that mentions Disney and Pixar *did* have a movie deal from 1991, but there's no mention of any payment to Pixar (let alone the $26 million figure) and I can't find any reliable looking source for that claim. In there, it also says that movie deal was for "up to three" films, *not* "three films", so that part of the sentence is probably inaccurate.
Using Blame, i found that the original incarnation of this sentence was added to Wikipedia in 2004 without a citation. Searching by date on Google, I can't find any still existing webpage from 2004 or earlier that corroborates this $26 million dollar deal, and I think all of the more recent ones are just copying from the Wikipedia page.
I would edit the sentence in the article to remove the $26 million figure and have it say "up to three films" instead, but my account is new and the page is protected. The $26 million claim *might* be true, but i think just adding a "[citation needed]" wouldn't deter people from continuing to spread this unverified claim around. Does anyone with more experience know what the best thing to do in this situation is? Tinkledoop (talk) 06:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
