Meet
the
Robinsons
apparently
hasn't
succeeded
in
making
the

the
equal

according
to
the
critics.
(Actually,
the

by
Disney
when

Pixar may have been more generous in granting back-dated options to its employees than originally reported. According to today's (Wednesday) Daily Variety the lucrative options were issued not only to top executives but many mid- and lower-level employees as well. The Walt Disney Co., which acquired Pixar, said Tuesday that it will issue new options to the employees and pay them as much as $34 million for the backdated ones.
