Is there a terrible looking Blu of a CG film? (half-serious)

Wrong, dude. There is TONS of compression still. Uncompressed 1080p video would take up SOOO much space.

But yeah, when things are sourced from pure digital, they're going to look clean and nice. From there, it's just a question of the look of the style of the animation and the workmanship that went into production.

The earlier shorts on Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1 looked a bit rough, Here's the explanation from this sites review:

Four of the shorts, Pixar's earliest from the 1980s, may disappoint due to their apparently less-than-pristine presentation. One must remember, however, that André, Luxo Jr., Red's Dream,, and Tin Toy were produced during computer animation's very infancy, and rendered at a relatively low resolution in comparison to today's slick CG features. These shorts may have been stored on analog devices, additionally.
