As all the *good* CGI films prove, the problem is not the technology but the people who employ it. I doubt CGI has particularly elevated the percentage of films that lack true story and texture. They've just migrated there. That's just the latest distraction from artfulness. Pixar has never made a bad film and that's because they always let the story and the characters drive the CGI. Of course it's different when CGI is employed to simulate something ostensibly real than when it creates a patently imaginary world like the Pixar films. But I think it nonetheless proves the point.
