If I wanted to start an argument, I'd say that any movie where more than 50% of the frames are more than 50% CGI should be counted as "animation". Which covers most of those franchises.

Saying CGI is animation is a bit like saying a photo printer prints paintings, because the latter uses pigments (just like painters!).
