Nah, Pixar does all their writing in-house. John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton are the main creative forces behind the films, and both of those guys work for Pixar.
Lasseter has writing credit for Toy Story (interestingly along with Joss Whedon), Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life, and Cars.
Stanton wrote Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., and Finding Nemo.
One of the 2 has also directed every Pixar film so far, with the exception of The Incredibles which is a Brad Bird project (of Iron Giant fame).
Supposedly Disney was going forward with Toy Story 3 since they own the characters, so it will be interesting to see if Pixar gets involved with that now. I bet Pixar doesn't want to make Toy Story 3, since they only did Toy Story 2 so that the Disney-made direct to video version wouldn't suck. It was only picked up for theatrical release after people saw what a hit is was going to be.
Of course, the above is all going on information released to the public. I'm probably totally wrong, and P1X is chuckling to himself right now.
Anyway, congrats man! I hope the wealth is spread around. The last thing Steve Jobs needs is more money.
