There's a lot of things that could happen before there are any meaningful results from that. Even if it's initially a smash hit (however that might be defined), they'd want to see how it does over a longer time span. A year would be the minimum time before anyone else would be making decisions based on that.

I also don't think it adds a lot of additional information that isn't already there. They already have all the Starz content, which they'll likely be losing. But content owners have a model they can see currently. Adding a few additional animated films won't likely change much, and it will be at least 2 years before any meaningful results are out.

There's a much better chance that between now and 2 or 3 years down the road, that something else more significant takes place. Netflix, upon losing the Starz streaming rights, could be out of business. Individual studios could be doing streaming on their own, and finding success with that.
