If it was from those two studios, it wouldn't really be anime then,
would it?
No. It would be CGI. :) Or animation. But not anime.
I think anime, in the English speaking world, has a far more
specific definition than it does in Japan. I would argue, then,
that a movie made domestically could never be anime, since it
wouldn't have the little cultural quirks and background what is
called "anime" in the US posesses, and makes it endearing...
Agree. It doesn't have to be a Japanese story, but it does have to
have that look and feel. Howl's Moving Castle is anime, Ice Age isn't.
But I do agree that Startide is far more likely to work as an
animated or largely animated feature. (Might work in the Babe style,
mind...)
