isn't part of Pixar decline was because their talents were "poached" by Disney? Its around the time that Disney in-house team transition to 3D as well.

(poached probably not the right word but I recall reading Disney tried to jumpstart their in house studio 3D transition and have John Lasseter manage both studios)

Doesnt Disney own them? Why would they poach if they already…unless they want to force it to evaporate indirectly.

They are but there's only so many talents to go around at that level. Specifically talents with the institutional knowledge.
