i wouldn't be surprised if it picked up a bit through good word-of-mouth, but it will be an uphill battle. i wonder the merits of making a movie like this (if you're not pixar), i was reading something about how lilo and stitch cut their costs tremendously by simplifying the animation just a bit (i think it had to with freckles on one of the main characters face). as awesome as these films are too watch, all those little details that serve as background can cost a buttload, and probably don't add enough to the film to justify their cost.
