With the exception of Cars and maybe A Bug's Life, every single film Pixar has made have been beautiful, poignant, wonderful, awe-inspiring, sad, funny, unpretentious examples of great film-making from the top down. Those other two, along with a disproportionate amount of CGI films made by other studios have at least been enjoyable, intelligent, emotionally genuine and generally solid. At the very least your average CGI film has been wildly effective amongst the target audience- I think people sometimes forget this?- kids. The only real stinkers, in my opinion, have been the two Shrek sequels, Madagascar 2 and Shark Tale.
In other words, the CGI animation studios have a far, far, far better strike rate than the major movie studios in general. What standard are you holding them to?

I'm holding them to the standard of good movies. Feel free to watch all the Happily Never Afters and Space Chimps and Chicken Littles and Shark Tales you like, however.

I don't understand the original post's cartoon :[

Anna it is a comparison / contrast. The implication is that Pixar comes up with novel and unique premises for their movies, whereas Dreamworks uses a rote formula again and again.
