From 《Will Pixar Move In With the Mouse?》 The Washington Post Friday, January 20, 2006

Still, Jobs's influence on Disney could be profound. A deal could leave him as Disney's largest individual shareholder¹ and land him a seat on the board of directors, according to the source familiar with the talks. Placing Pixar in the hands of a giant parent would give the animation² studio a solid distribution network and deep pockets to offset³ potential stumbles. In the increasingly competitive entertainment industry, independent studios are finding security in mergers⁴ with larger companies. In December, the studio operated by Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, DreamWorks SKG Inc., was gobbled up by Paramount⁵ Pictures.
