Is Pixar FAILING? A Video Essay

Is Pixar FAILING? A Video Essay is a video by Saberspark about Pixar's state in 2016. It is a part of his What RUINED/What's RUINING? series. It was uploaded on June 30, 2016. 
== Content ==
Saberspark briefly talks about the history of Pixar, and then gets to Cars 2 and its negative reception. He then talks about each film released after Cars 2 and gives his thoughts about them. 
He then says Pixar is becoming like DreamWorks. And he was completely fucking right. Pixar in its current state primarily consists of sequels (a lot which are actually worse then most DreamWorks sequels) and either forgettable or really great films. They have a mixed output, when they didn't before. 
He also discusses how Disney and Pixar almost split up in 2004 after they contract for Disney distributing their films was about to expire. 
He later comes to the conclusion that Pixar's shift to making less original films and more sequels is weird, and how they're falling short because of this.
== Trivia ==
* This video has aged very weirdly, with Pixar's current state as I'm writing being very mixed, and John Lasseter having left the company in 2017 following reports of alleged sexual misconduct in the workplace. 
* Joy from Inside Out and Dory from the Finding Nemo series appear in thumbnail.
* Finding Dory was released shortly before this video's upload, hence her being in the thumbnail.
