It was just an observation. They are making heartfelt, fun, entertaining as hell movies. People go to the theater now for a spectacle. Something ridiculously fun and joyous. People aren't going to pay their money for any old thing, they have to be earned.

Disney is earning it with movies that meet what I listed above. We're past the days of Citizen Kane or Gone with the Wind. That was in an era of three TV channels that largely gave you nothing entertaining. TV is where the best and most profound stories are being told. What makes a good movie today is does it resonate with your feelings, do you have fun watching it, do you feel it's money well spent, and did the story grip you. Well, Disney is doing all of that. Most of the others aren't.

When the numbers come in from Pixar and Toy Story 4 it will reinforce all of those things. As the reviews are indicating. Hopefully we can put to bed the absurd notion that releasing films in June is a death nail. No, releasing movies people don't want and have lost connection with is a death nail. (See: Phoenix and MIB)

Disney has earned the trust of the audience. Simple as that.
