The use of animation in movies is to bring worlds that don’t exist in real life. It has been and it will be the purpose of true animation studios (Disney, Pixar, etc.), to create stories that will engage their audiences, bringing believably (not reality or photo realism)
As for Visual Effects in movies, the use is to supplement the real life world with computer generated elements (explosions, water effects, natural phenomena), these will share the screen with the actors to enhance their scenes or make them believable.
And there’s also Digital Matte Painting, which is directly involved to create real life environments (backgrounds, set extensions, etc.) that will be safe for the actors and their performances (i.e. the impression of jumping off a cliff), and also will cut down significantly the budget. For instance, to build a real world set will take time and money, a Matte Painter can reproduce that in weeks and with a significantly lower budget than building it in real life.
