Pixar isn't perfect. Both Toy Story movies were good, and The Incredibles is a masterpiece, but A Bug's Life was only mediocre (the Dreamworks knockoff Antz was funnier) and the teaser for Cars made it look pretty hard to take. Technical excellence only gets you so far; when Pixar scores a hit it's because they also paid attention to basic virtues of story and character.
