To make a Pixar quality film would require a bunch of different world class skillsets. In addition to animators, modellers, riggers, lighters, lookdev artists, fx artists and compositors you'd need writers, editors, sound designers, voice actors etc.

In addition to all that you'd need some sort of top down project management structure. If the people who are directing/supervising the project decide one of the sequences that a bunch of people have worked on for 6 months isn't working, they need to be able to make the decision to abandon the work without causing massive animosity and have people quit the project.

Which is sort of the purpose of the current structure. The studios are under contract and receive funding...

I would also imagine "on budget" will trump most quality or artistic issues in this project...
