As for Titan A.E., that was also animated digitally like Anastasia but ultimately finished as a filmout likely for budgetary reasons. The digital screening at SuperComm 2000 was probably a 960p pre-release version from the SGX files before the final mastering and filmouts took place.
Ice Age was a 2k DI render and finish and did get a digital screening for industry and CEOs, but when Fox got a distro rights deal with Blue Sky they added their masthead and Union/DGA compliant ending credits, sourced from 35mm and scanned 2k with lasergraphics onto the DI. That explains why these bits were added and not initially part of the render since they always looked really janky on the 35mm prints. Fox did not have a compatible HD digital version of their masthead until 2004 via collab with Blue Sky, as the only digital version prior was the 525p low res render from Flip Your Lid which was always meant to be transferred to film.
