Sounds like you just hate the CG animation that Pixar puts out. I have just about all of Pixar's movies and I love every one of them. Finding Nemo (which I've probably seen close to 100 times now), Monsters Inc, Cars, The Incredibles, Toy Story 1 and 2 (two was going to be direct to video until it was decided it was to good for that). Every one of Pixar's movies is story first and animation second (they even say that on the commentary). Hell, on the Finding Nemo commentary, they mention that they do movies of things they want to see and it just happens to be something the kids want to see too. They even said they had to scale some of the scenes in Nemo back since they'd be to scary for little kids. Nothing wrong with that, especially since parents probably don't want their kids screaming and having nightmares after watching the movie.

All other Disney films have been failures because the stories all sucked. It really had nothing to do with the animation. The animation looked fantastic, but the stories totally blew.

Disney wasn't just the release studio on several Pixar films. They were the release studio for ALL Pixar films. Now they're another division of Disney. That alone should make future Disney films much more successful. I for one would go out of my way to see Pixar films before. Now that they're owned by Disney, they'll just get a bigger cut of the receipts.

I don't know how you can even compare any of Pixar's movies to Pokemon. The former are expressly designed for kids and adults alike with wonderful stories and great animation (whether you like the animation or not doesn't mean it's not great animation). The latter is a show strictly for kids that has only slightly more plot than an average episode of Dragonball.

And while Shrek 3 may not have been as good as Shrek 1 or even 2, it was still a fun, enjoyable movie. I really like the way those guys poke fun and make references to all the fairy tales.

So by your reasoning, all animation that targets kids is crap. Well, IMHO, Chicken Run was a pretty lame movie and Wallace and Gromit didn't look that good either.
