I realize this isn't proof of anything, but Pixar is a hell of a lot more successful than Ren & Stimpy. Perhaps that means something.

I don't think either's success can be compared accurately — one is a behemoth of a company and the other operates on a much, much smaller scale.

Besides, Ren & Stimpy did garner a sizeable cult following (not including myself) — and quantifying interest in a cult classic isn't as simple as tracking purchases.

Perhaps a better comparison would be Pixar vs. Nickelodeon.
