Titan AE was a big money-loser. But since then there have been pix like Shrek, Nemo, Monster Inc. etc., which tend to indicate the demographic is ready for animation if it's relevant to that demographic, produced by the right company and dumbed-down enough for the lowest common denominator. Actually, I thought Titan AE was the dumbest of that lot by far. Final Fantasy was okay but it seemed like it was trying to be Japanese and American and it just didn't quite get either. It didn't help that the cgi actors were almost right, but not quite. Some people found the movie creepy because of the minor imperfections in facial and body movements. As well, Disney's films haven't been doing well because they assume the audience is dumb and they use the same formula over and over again. Shrek did so well, in part, because it took the Disney formula and skewered it. Shrek said, "Hey, you people are smart enough to recognize blatant manipulation" and poked fun them at every turn. Anyhoo, hopefully the next service release to P5 will straighten a lot of stuff out. I use P5 because of the library structure, otherwise I'd go back to PPP. P5 is still very pokey and tempermental for me. Hopefully the next release will like my computer better. Cheers!
