This is all too true. Remember how every single PIXAR movie trailer references older movies?
"From PIXAR, the company that brought you..." is a easy way make a profit. By using their name, they're already securing mindless sheep who remember older movies and believe the new ones must be as good.
Which they're not.

Some new Pixar films are good.

But would they have done nearly well on the marketing side of things if not for a large brand name?

Build up the name. Creation the illusion that greatness is associated to the name. Use the name on less-than-quality products. Consumers consume products based on name familiarity. #Profit

I believe that's what happens, but if you look at them as standalone movies (if possible) most are still high quality.
