The last great Pixar Animation Studios movie was 2010's Toy Story 3. It wasn't just a great movie, it was a groundbreaking animated movie. Since then we have had the insipid Cars 2, the clever but weak Brave, and the routine sequel Monsters University, What happened to Pixar to deteriorate so badly the the last few years? Remember that before Toy Story 3 we had the glorious incarnation of Wall-E, immensely popular and entertaining Cars, followed by the a great original movies Ratatouille, and Up? What happened to quality? The answer I believe is overlooked but quite simple - Steve Jobs died, It hasn't been the same since. Current Pixar chiefJohn Lasseter who wears many Disney hats (including a Jungle Crusis skippers hat at on one time( be a master of execution but more and more but it looks like Jobs, in so many ways, was the visionary for not only Pixar but Apple too.
