Executives were mum on one of the biggest questions in Hollywood -- which studio Pixar will pick to distribute its films in 2006 and beyond, after its current deal with Walt Disney Co.(DIS.N: Quote, Profile, Research) ends. Disney will release Pixar's next movie, "The Incredibles," on Nov. 5. Although Pixar earlier this year called off talks with Disney to extend the current deal, there has been widespread speculation that the two sides might return to the bargaining table as Disney Chief Executive Michael Eisner has said a deal could be good for both companies. Bax, asked whether talks with Disney had resumed, responded, "There has been no change in the status of our distribution agreement. I just don't have anything to add to that." <a href="http://www.reuters.com/aitoolkit/aitArticle.jhtml?type=hotStocksNews&storyID=5889853" target="_blank">http://www.reuters.com/aitoolk it/aitArticle.jhtml?type=hotStocksNews&storyID=5889853</a>
