I don't know why you think animation means you don't need actors. I'm not saying it doesn't - it obviously does.. what I'm saying is that not all animation has to be film scale, nor does it have to have proper actors as draw cards for voice talent. My argument was that WALL-E was a smash hit and the use of big name actors as voice talent to sell the film wasn't part of the equation. You completely missed the point. But you seem to be saying that since its animation, you can have lower standards. No: you need higher ones. No, I'm not saying that at all - Going up against a studio like Pixar/Disney or Dreamworks Animations thats entirely the case, but there are plenty of films out there that you don't even hear about that are plenty profitable - if you were to target the film industry that is. You just don't need to scale it up (in terms of budget) for it to work, that's my whole argument
