That article has me worried - if the films they mentioned wouldn't be made "today" (ahem... that was only a year or so ago they were made, how could times change so drastically?) what's left? I am not against sequels, re-makes, etc. interspersed with original content. But original should outweigh the re-make/sequel/spin-off content.
If Disney starts doing all manner of Maleficent Movies, Pixar sequels, etc. and it overpowers original works, I may distance myself from the company.

And, Andrew, I read your Twilight comment when you posted it, but didn't write anything. Yes, the franchise would bring Disney money, but a) it's almost over, they're not going to go to Disney with it. b) I mean, it'd be different if Disney had gotten the rights from the beginning; Disney doesn't need getting outsider's castoffs (like how Fox got Narnia). c) As a Twilight fan, and I'm saying this as a Disney fan, I'm glad that Disney didn't make the films- not that they're "edgy", but I imagine that they'd be less so if Disney were making them.

The verdict on Rich Ross is still out and it'll be a year or more before we start seeing the results of his taste, but I'm quite surprised and curious as to the people that he's attached to films in the Disney future...
