An article about a new dimension in rendering quality, and they're demonstrating that quality with two images the size of a stamp...WAT?

Wow! There's actually a huge difference! Not that I'm really surprised but still.

You also have to consider that Monsters Inc. was one of the earlier Pixar movies.
The contrast to Brave isn't that extreme.

Since the movie isn't actually out, this is more of a promotional piece. Also the first image is a bit bigger http://pixartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Monsters-Un... but is fairly low-quality and for some reason is scaled down to stamp-size on the page.

Comparing raster graphics from 12 years ago to ray-traced graphics from today isn't a fair anyway. Part of why raster has persisted against ray-tracing for so long (despite numerous predictions to the contrary) is that raster graphics techniques are constantly improving.
