They said that sequels should only be made if there is a really great story that demands it...

To translate this from Hollywood-ese to English,it reads: "around here,from now on,sequels will only be made when we're assured that receipts will substantially exceed production/distribution/promotion costs..."

Cheap sequels are a big money maker for Disney, which is why they churn them out. Pixar cares about quality. For example, Toy Story 2 was supposed to be a cheap Disney sequel (they had all sequel rights to the Pixar movies), but Pixar decided to make a real movie out of it even though it didn't count towards their six movie contract with Disney.
