Now if only they could make a cartoon that doesn't suck...

I'd agree with that in terms of some of their recent output, but that said there's some gems post Lion-King in amongst the musical-theatre mire. Lilo and Stitch is utterly charming and beautifull designed and directed by Chris Sanders, The Emporers New Groove is considered one of the funniest animated films ever created (wierd considering the mess making it) and Mulan is very highly regarded in critical circles.
Even some of their second-rate films like Tarzan, Pocahontas and Hunchback have a high level of artistry despite the narrative misfiring and token songs and sidekicks. Hell, despite it being a terrible film, at least Atlantis had designs by Mike Mignola! As for Treasure Planet, the less said about that the better...
Previous films have highs and lows, but to say Disney creates movies that suck is a bit absurd. They're totally lost the plot recently though, but the recent Chicken Little trailer doesn't look half as bad as I thought it would.
