Pixar and Disney are different studios...

The global illumination tech used on monsters university was just standard path tracing with physically-plausible sharers - the first time pixar had used that instead of radiosity caching. Other studios have been using path tracing for years before - pixars lighters are very good however, so the results are very good.
