^ Much as I'd love to one day see animation one day grow more popular with adults, the world (America in particular) still has a long way to go before it loses its 'kiddy' image.

Japan is just about the only country that really respects it, and until that changes we'll generally see direct-to-dvd releases instead of theater releases. That, and it's likely that most animated features will remain to always be under an hour and a half's length because of smaller budgets.
