I believe you have this completely backwards. Disney and Pixar work
together like hand in glove on computer animiated features. Toy Story I
and II as well as A Bug's Life and the more recent Monsters Inc are all
listed as "Disney movies from Pixar Animation Studios". The other films
such as ANTZ and Shrek come from SKG studios, an entirely different
outfit.
It is quite possible that Disney and Apple have something cooked up
because Jobs and Eisner have a close working relationship from Pixar.
