I've said this before, but I don't think it's fair to pin the blame soley on Lassetter since there are so many others in charge of running the company. Lassetter runs both Pixar and WDAS, but he's not an executive of the entire Disney company, whom he still has to answer to. He also has no involvement in the marketing and release of the movies; I imagine he never intended to release Winnie the Pooh near Deathly Hallows. I'm also sure he still wants hand-drawn animation to return, but the execs (many of whom were disciples of Eisner) have created essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy. It'll return someday, just wait and see.
