There is still no way for realtime rendering of Pixar-like stuff in the near future, be it on mobiles or desktops.
I attended a conference where the head of Dreamworks animation was speaking about the process of making a CGI movie.
I was amazed to discover that each frame of a high-quality, big-budget movie is rendered 100 different times differently. Some layers are masks, other layers are specific aspects of the scene. Each layer is composited with the others to make the final frame look just right.
Realtime Pixar-like graphics will not happen in the near future, and not just because of processing power. Those graphics are excellent because of more than just rendering.
