Just remember that "The Incredibles" is a Pixar movie, not a Disney movie - and Pixar movies are just in a class by themselves. ;^) For what it's worth I was actually pretty impressed for the most part with "Brother Bear". I just think that's a tremendously rich but mostly ignored culture and it was treated pretty well there. > Anymore, it seems that most animated movies, for children, are just part > of the marketing machine to suck our wallets dry and quality > entertainment be damned. Pretty much true. Of course it works. My son really wants to see "Madagacar" and begged to see "Sharks Tale" and all the other movies that come out. In some cases the "hipping" of a movie works - "Shrek" was still great with it. But movies like "The Emperor's New Groove", "Hercules" and others just use it instead of a story. And that almost always sucks. > I will say, however, that I'm very much looking forward to "Cars" by > Disney/Pixar next year.

Remember that Disney is purely a distribution partner: they have no input into Pixar's culture, studio, storylines or anything else really - essentially they just help shovel the money. Disney has a similar deal with Studio Ghilbi that's working out for them as well.
