Pixar still prides itself on art. Critics just didn't like Cars 2 because (I'm assuming) it had more action than heart, and heart is what Pixar is known for. That doesn't necessarily mean that Cars 2 is bad - it's just not as up there with the rest of the Pixar films, but it's still miles ahead of lots of OTHER movies.

Opinions vary, so while you think 3D is pointless, people actually do think of 3D as something fun, enjoyable, and enhancing. Some think that 3D actually pulls you more into the movie, causing you to become more immersed in it, furthermore enhancing the enjoyment you get once viewing the film. Perhaps some folks at Pixar thought that, and decided to convert the movies to 3D to do these such things - making the movies a more pleasant experience to watch and, of course, to allow people who didn't see the movies in theaters on their initial release to do so now.

As for the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast thing you said... get out of my sight. D:<
