Walt Disney is well on his way to becoming the most written about creative talent in American film. This is the 100th anniversary of his birth and thankfully any examination of his life can still include careful interviews with people who knew him and worked with him.

Disney first entered into a feature film agreement with Pixar in 1991, resulting in the release of Toy Story, which was hailed as an instant classic upon its release in November 1995. In 1997, Disney extended its relationship with Pixar by entering into a co-production agreement, under which Pixar agreed to produce on an exclusive basis five original computer-animated feature films for distribution by Disney. Pixar is currently in production on the final film under that agreement, Cars, to be distributed by Disney on June 9.

Disney followed its 1994 blockbuster movie "The Lion King" with the release of "Pocahontas" and "Toy Story" the next year. "Pocahontas" brought in $140 million and was the #3 grossing film of 1995. But Disney doesn't cater just to kids. Miramax's "Pulp Fiction" was a smash hit too.
