Could we all appreciate Ratatouille and Wreck-it Ralph?

They were probably two of the most innovative movies Disney has ever made. Frozen and Tangled were so overrated. I honestly think a movie where a rat cooks and a bunch of nostalgic characters in one movie are much more creative than the typical princess and prince love stories.

No one waits over 5 hours for a rat cook, but they have for a Frozen princess.. That's worth some amount of appreciation right there.

This year has been Universal's year - 3 moviesinthe Top 5 grossing movies of the year.

Universal - $6,475,661,921 box office gross, across 21 movies released in 2015. An average of $308,364,853 per movie.
Disney - $4,535,004,405 box office gross, across 11 movies released in 2015. An average of $412,273,128 per movie.

(and Star Wars is still playing.)

I wouldn't say that it has been Universal's year.

Actually, it has. Even though Disney's 2015 movies average a higher gross /movie, that comes from very high budget movies, while Universal has had some huge hits this year with relatively small budgets ( Minions, Pitch Perfect 2, Fifty Shades of Grey, Straight Outta Compton). Also , you have to bear in mind some downright flops coming from Disney, such as Tomorrowland and The Good Dinosaur, which lost them a good chunk of money.

Even with the Juggernaut that The Force Awakens is, Universal will probably have made more profit in 2015 than Disney, when speaking of movies.

I just watched it two days ago. I loved inside out. Such a creative movie. Don't see how it didn't get one billion

Disney also has a recent history of almost one big bomb a year (Tomorrowland, The Lone Ranger, John Carter, Mars Needs Mom). I'm thinking The Finest Hours will be the the Disney bomb for 2016.
