Check out the Curiouslabs website, there are examples of how Poser has been used professionally in animation. There is a short cartoon that is supposed to be up for awards in which Poser was used. Other's have used Poser aminations for story boarding for various films. I think there is a bit of snobery in the 3D community against Poser. Sure it has certain limitations, but every animated feature doesn't have to look like Shrek or Monsters Ink to be enjoyable--especially to a child audience. Certainly cartoons as good as the old stop motion ones we grew up with can be produced if someone had the time and inclination. Children don't care if the models have flowing, photorealistic hair or gravity obeying clothes, all they care about is a story that will entertain them. I'm sure that Poser can be used for such things but because it isn't a program that costs thousands of dollars no one takes it seriously.
