Variety published an interesting article regarding the changes at Disney after Pixar was purchased.  More specifically, it talks about what Ed Catmull and John Lasseter are trying to do, to bring back the quality to Disney animated features.  "Their top priority is reviving Disney Animation Studios. From new offices to new talent, a new development process, and an openness to the formerly shunned technique of hand-drawn toons, WDFA is in the midst of its biggest changes since the late '80s, when Jeffrey Katzenberg re-energized the then-ailing unit that was turning out only one film every four years."

"The problem these days isn't quantity, but quality. In the past six years, WDFA released seven toons, only two of which made more than $100 million domestically and only one of which, 2002's "Lilo and Stitch," was also positively received by most critics and the animation community."  You can read the entire Variety article here.
