Last year, I was told by one of the technical managers for animation at Pixar that they're all in 24 fps. They've used all the increased processing power since their founding in the 90's to increase detail, so the result is that the time it takes to render each frame has barely changed since Toy Story. Each frame of Monsters University took an average of 29 hours to render.
