Pixar vs. the Rest

With UP! already well on its way to being a blockbuster hit, Pixar is now 10 for 10 in producing films that are successful both critically and commercially. The fact that a studio unknown to the world just 14 years ago has found such great success without relying heavily on franchises and sequels is pretty impressive. With the exception of Toy Story, Pixar has produced blockbuster after blockbuster - all featuring original characters and memorable story-lines - a rarity in today's marketplace.
