I think the "$26 million dollar deal with Disney" claim is false. What to do?
I'm talking about this sentence:
Pixar made a historic $26 million deal with Disney to produce three computer-animated feature films, the first of which was Toy Story, the product of the technological limitations that challenged CGI. [37]
The Newsweek article on Toy Story 4 that is cited there ([37]) mentions nothing of this deal. If I search on the internet to corroborate this $26 million dollar deal, I only get recent results (last several years) that are all from summary articles (ie. not detailed secondary sources) with suspiciously similar phrasing to the above sentence.
Doing brief research, I found an SEC filing that mentions Disney and Pixar *did* have a movie deal from 1991, but there's no mention of any payment to Pixar (let alone the $26 million figure) and I can't find any reliable looking source for that claim. In there, it also says that movie deal was for "up to three" films, *not* "three films", so that part of the sentence is probably inaccurate.
Using Blame, i found that the original incarnation of this sentence was added to Wikipedia in 2004 without a citation. Searching by date on Google, I can't find any still existing webpage from 2004 or earlier that corroborates this $26 million dollar deal, and I think all of the more recent ones are just copying from the Wikipedia page.
I would edit the sentence in the article to remove the $26 million figure and have it say "up to three films" instead, but my account is new and the page is protected. The $26 million claim *might* be true, but i think just adding a "[citation needed]" wouldn't deter people from continuing to spread this unverified claim around. Does anyone with more experience know what the best thing to do in this situation is? Tinkledoop (talk) 06:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Replace the reference attached to the sentence "In December 2022, Disney CEO Bob Iger noted that they would rely more on the Pixar brand", which currently links to an archived retweet of a video, with this transcript of the same video from the actual source: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/09/cnbc-exclusive-cnbc-transcript-disney-ceo-bob-iger-speaks-with-cnbcs-david-faber-on-squawk-on-the-street-today.html 203.211.79.95 (talk) 02:18, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Typo in "Highest-grossing films in North America" Table:
The year for Toy Story in this table should be changed from 1005 to 1995. BoogieT (talk) 07:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
