Disney and its frequent collaborator at Pixar are known for their innovative spirit — at least, that was definitely the consensus a few years ago. Despite basically writing the book on the animated blockbuster, a formula that saw Disney dominating in the ‘90s and ‘00s, the House of Mouse has since been surpassed. Its smooth, slick 3D style isn’t quite enough to capture an audience anymore, even if its films are just as visually stunning as ever.
