Toy Story is followed by one hit after another.

史蒂夫?乔布斯再次证明我们是错误的。他已经预料到这将会是一次重大事件，他也使它成为重大事件。

我不只喜欢《超人特工队》。我爱皮克斯公司。我喜欢他们所做的，他们的精良制作让观众为之敬佩。

It's bigger than even Steve Jobs could have imagined. In 2006, Disney buys Pixar for 7.4 billion dollars. This mouse proves to be more lucrative⁴ for Jobs than this one.
