OK, so right now a Pixar movie is created by a large number of creatives:
writers, directors, animators, composers, musicians, voice actors, etc.
What a single person could right now wouldn't be comparable to that.
A small team on a small budget, right now, could make a decent animated
movie.

The tools will get better--probably to the point where a single person
could animate an entire movie. That still leaves writing the story,
composing and performing the score, and doing the voice acting. Voice
synthesis is also nowhere near ready to replace human voice actors.
