Could animated films and TV shows be on the rise due to the pandemic?

   I have nothing to back this up, nor do I have any inside Hollywood sources telling me this, as this all just my opinion.  Take it or leave it.  Up to you.   
   
   I feel that due to the pandemic, animated movies and TV shows could go on the rise within the next few years, and here's why.   
   
   Unlike live action shows, and movies, people working within the animation industry can mostly make those films from home using various computers.  Granted, the voice acting may require for someone to film their scenes in a sound studio, but if ESPN and Fox sports commentators can do their jobs from within a radio station talking about the same topics over and over again, during this pandemic, then I'm sure arrangements can be done for that as well.   Whereas with live action stuff, you'd need large gatherings of people to shoot scenes, but that would put many lives at risk due to the coronavirus.   
   
   But, you won't have that problem in animation.  Again, I have nothing to back this up right now, and if I'm wrong, then shoot me.   However, I believe "Trolls World Tour" was a game changer for movies in general based on last weekends results, and if that grosses a hefty profit of say around 300 to 400 million dollars from VOD sales alone, then I predict other studios like Disney, who are currently hemorrhaging money week to week as they continuously borrow up to 6 billion dollars each week just to keep alive during the pandemic, are going to get so desperate that if Trolls 2 ends up being as successful as I now think it's going to be, then various companies from Disney, Paramount and others might just start releasing more of their finished films that were supposed to be released this year in theaters onto VOD and streaming instead.  However, the problem is studios can only do that for so long because once they release their films to try to stay afloat, then what?  They can't exactly shoot any films right now.  And according to some experts, they're saying the pandemic could go way into 2022 as well, so what do you do about this situation if your a Hollywood executive? 
   
   This is where animation comes in.  As I stated before, animating TV shows and movies can be done mostly at home, and you wouldn't have to gather lots of people in one area to shoot it either, which would make it more convenient for studios, and continuously allow them to push out content to keep themselves afloat.   However, what are your thoughts?  You think I could be onto something?   Or am I simply fooling myself/  Please discuss.
