There was a short article in today’s Financial Times about the possibility of Disney selling its interest in Pixar to Fox, who apparently is unhappy with their alliance with Blue Sky Studios (Ice Age movies). Apparently there’s been informal talks about it, but if it will go anywhere no one knows.
The article is here:

I’m not sure if you have to have a subscription or not to see it.
EDIT: I found another paper that picked up the story. If the above link doesn’t work, you can also view it here:

Thank God it was only an April Fool’s Day joke.

Heh heh… sorry, couldn’t resist.
Hey, even the most respected media outlets throughout the years have played April 1st practical jokes!
And to make sure people knew it was a joke afterwards, the 2nd link listed went to a page describing the history of April Fools Day…
Well, there’s actually a real article I have ready to post, but I’ll make a separate thread since it’s un-related and not an April fools joke…
(and yes, thank goodness it was just a joke!)

Actually, I was a bit fooled because I thought you actually came across that ‘Fox’ news and believed it, miafka . Heh.
