You know what I think would be cool? If Pixar was the taking-risks-branch, while Disney proper released low-risk content based on their main IPs like Mickey, Star Wars, etc. But Disney seems set on making “new” IPs/universes which are half-baked copies of past successes (looking at you, Elemental)

That’s roughly how Dreamworks came up. The core team working on The Prince of Egypt sent their scrubs and/or co-workers being punished to work on Shrek

  That’s why literally everything about Shrek is dunking on Disney

I enjoyed elemental as a piece about first generation immigrants. Also found it refreshing that Disney allowed it to be a love story, and that drove the plot. But yes, the scene where they all get to element city or whatever was a total retread of zootopia
