Mouse House would offer Pixar Animation Studios a stock deal of $59 per share; the animation unit would become part of Disney's filmed animation division.
Deal would grant Pixar CEO Steve Jobs a seat on Disney's board. Other details, such as employment contracts, have not been finalized, although John Lasseter, Pixar's chief creative officer, is expected to lead the new operation.
