Are there any decreasing marginal returns in improvements in the graphics industry with respect to animated movies? I remember watching Finding Dory (2016) and being very underwhelmed by the lack of improvement between it and Finding Nemo (2003). When I watched Finding Nemo as a kid in 2003 I was enchanted by all the ocean colors, but I remember watching Finding Dory as a teenager and saying to myself, "This looks graphically the same as Finding Nemo, I can't believe after 13 years of innovation, there is no noticeable improvement."

I guess some stories and contents might better reflect the improvements in CG. I personally find the graphics of Coco and Frozen 2 pretty impressive.

@tsk That's fair, I did think Coco and Frozen 2 were particularly well-animated. Maybe Finding Dory is just not a particularly epitomic (in my opinion) show of animation prowess.
