Sure, just Gimme an A4000 (or an A1200, I'll happily make do if its free!) and
write a 256 color variant of Moviesetter - or send a letters barrage to Gold
Disk and tell them to do it (actually they have. It's called Animation Works:
available for Mac and Windows).

Correct, for the most part. I've done anims on Mac (640x480x8) in 5 or 6 megs
o' memory that similar(in subject matter) anims on the Amiga (352x240x5) take
about 1.5 - 2 megs for. BTW, At the Movies 2 (at 4 disks) was done in a
different form (Anim-5s linked in Director) than the anims in Moviesetter
(That's why ATM 2 does only about two minutes in the same memory as a 4.5
minute Flip Cartoon)
Besides, For YOUR money, the gain in memory, and file size might not be worth it for what you get in the animation itself (how much d'ya expect? I do flat color cartoons.)
What'm I doing? well look for Team 17's Superfrog game animation and another Filp the Frog cartoon from me in the next few months.
