Ken didn't slight Imagine.  In addition to logo type animations, he mentioned
mechanical animations (cars, planes, etc.).  I'm sure that organic shapes can
be created and animated.  Louis Markoya can attest to this ("Whale
Trace","Woodland II").
 
But no polygonal rendering package can get the type of smoothly flowing curves
that splines afford.  And the closer you get to an edge, or the higher the
resolution of your output device (be it framebuffer or film), the more
pronounced its faceted profile becomes.
