Sure, but Illumination basically took the spot Blue Sky had before. My point being that there's not a sudden glut of new studios -- it's still Pixar, DWA, plus

Sure, but Illumination basically took the spot Blue Sky had before. My point being that there's not a sudden glut of new studios -- it's still Pixar, DWA, plus a couple of other top studios. I really don't think the market is any more saturated today than a decade ago. I agree with you on Lasseter, btw. It does seem that his departure was the start of Pixar's creative gap.
