Price writes that as the deal finally was about to be green-lighted, Jobs hauled off with a slap at the company that Mickey Mouse built, saying he felt &quot;sick about Disney doing sequels [to Pixar films], because if you look at the quality of their sequels, like &#8216;The Lion King 11\/2&#8217; and their &#8216;Peter Pan&#8217; sequels and stuff, it&#8217;s pretty embarrassing.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> says the article.
