heya; i think you're forgetting the difference in time between photographing a frame of hand-drawn cartoon, and rendering a frame of 3d animation. :) mainframe (who produced reboot, and transformers:beast wars, etc) did manage to produce fully 3d rendered cartoons for a weekly schedule. but they obtained or developed some proprietary tools to help them speed up production. i cant find their official website... though you could try this as a jumping off point: http://www.UltimateTV.com/UTVL/utl.html?card+1611 good luck!
