Sure, but like I said, that's post production work. On a normal show, an episode's budget includes everything that happens *before* the animation files get sent off to the render farms too. Concept work, story meeting, planning, screenwriting, shooting, scoring, voice work. It all adds up and if you're able to not have to pay for most of that by dint of a lot of it already being done, you can then apply that difference to asset creation, cloth & hair simulation, render times, lighting effects passes and the like, making for a much prettier product, for basically the same cost.
