Yes, that's my point. It was, after all a fantasy. And I think because it was animated, we allow it all sorts of fantastic things.
Why is Indiana Jones any less of a fantasy? Certainly not because of its pedigree. I think the primary difference is live action. Even in more blatant comic book films (Spider-Man, Batman, IronMan and the rest of the men), I think they have to stick to certain rules of physics ... and in animation, those can go right out the window.
Heck, I think even the incorporation of live action Fred Willard and Hello Dolly worked in animation! They can get away with anything!!!
