...about strength if it is used properly. The Yankees have good players, and the Romans made awesome aqueducts.

Disney refused, unless the film would not count as one of the five included in the Pixar-Disney deal. That left Lasseter and Jobs fuming. They were also annoyed by the length of the talks, during which...
