Has Disney lost its magic?

Kemper now:
Even though Toy Story (Pixar) is owned by Disney, I wouldn't say it's
a product of Disney.  Though, I suppose Disney did recognize Pixar's
superiority.

Beauty and the Beast (and later, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and many
earlier cartoons) are fluffy versions of the original version which is
what Disney is awesome at accomplishing. 

Pixar is Dorthy; Disney is the Wizard.

Or something...
