I think the very formulaic aspect of Pixar movies and their copies got old fast: it's the same exaggerated facial expressions used over and over, the shoutiness, the basic premise of slightly annoying animals hamming it up and so on.  I dunno, I sound like I'm just being an old fart, but I've always felt that way about that sort of stuff, by which I mean the cartoon equivalent that pre-dated it (although not Tom & Jerry, obviously, since that was awesome).

Disney's offerings have often kinda bothered me from the cultural appropriation aspect, though.  Then again, the same can be levelled at much of Hollywood and film-making in general, Jackson's de-anglicised version of Lord of the Rings being a fairly recent example.

Well, once you've established a 'brand' you can milk it till it's dry. This can apply from movies to David Beckham!

Look what dinosaurs did for the film industry.
