This article is a great rundown of Pixar and Disney, but while the latter did publish Pixar's movies through the nineties and early naughties they had very little creative influence over them - especially compared to what would come post acquisition. Even the four "transitional" films (that had already begun production in 2006) are clearly more Pixar than Disney.

Ok? Already knew all that

The point is that Disney is famously child/family friendly and that they had influence on the film, thats why a direct reference to suicide in the first 5m is especially surprising: Disney let it happen

Pixar actually being the ones who made it is entirely irrelevant to my point and also incredibly basic film trivia

In general I tend to differentiate between creator and publisher in all art. It would have been a more shocking inclusion had it been a movie made by Disney themselves - at least to me. I'm open to being wrong about how much Disney meddled in Pixar stories pre 2006 purchase though. I can't say it's a subject I've studied at length. I know there is a book about Pixar but I haven't read it. Do you have any sources?
