What happened to Disney?

I came across this article on Slashfilm.com - Click HERE. It's about how Disney has often turned to Pixar for help. I find this kind of sad.

Don't get me wrong I like Pixar, but I love Disney. Disney at one point was the reigning king of animation. And in my eyes it still is. Pixar produces some fantastic stories and they deserve all the credit in the world. But what is lacking at Disney that they have to turn to Pixar for help so often? I know that Disney owns Pixar, so essentially Disney is getting help from themselves. But articles likes this just disappoints me that the Disney artists can't resolve their own problems. Maybe I'm over-reacting, but Disney needs help from NO ONE! But if they do I'm glad it's Pixar.
