Jobs was usually disciplined in not making public the strong opinions that he shared with friends around his Palo Alto kitchen table.

"The truth is there has been little creative collaboration with Disney for years.

You can compare the creative quality of our films with the creative quality of Disney's last three films and judge each company's creative ability yourselves."

Jobs had pulled off the remarkable feat of building a brand that was now as big a draw for moviegoers as Disney's.

"We think the Pixar brand is now the most powerful and trusted brand in animation."
