Pixar CFO and Senior VP of Strategic Planning Leaving

Twitter Names Pixar’s Ali Rowghani as Finance Chief

Seems like this could be significant to the future development of Pixar Place. Perhaps, along with film studio changes, this also could mean a shift in thought in incorporating Pixar in the parks. Thoughts?

Why would it? Pixar is still owned by Disney, its just a simple change in management.

He's going from Pixar to CFO at Twitter. What does that have to do with Pixar Place? :shrug:

Well, the key word was "could" impact the development of Pixar attractions in the parks. I would imagine that Pixar, even though Disney owns them, has some amount of planning control and financial power when creating attractions/products/etc. He was also VP of strategy which would include marketing and development which is part of attractions.

I was simply asking for opinions hoping someone with better knowledge of the relationship would chime in. I suppose it could matter more who replaces him.

(PS Sorry for the typo in the title.)

Yeah, that still leaves the CEO and all other high ranking officials at Pixar still very much the head honchos at Disney...

Considering that John Lasseter is one of the creative consultants to WDI in charge of a ton of imagineering development, it won't have any impact.
