I've always been under the impression that the ~$50K figure should really
be around ~$3K, and that it isn't due purely to marketing considerations.

For people with small pocketbooks that are interested in previewing
animation quickly (that rules out film...), I'd suggest a cheap
black-and-white single frame VCR.  I used one in an animation class
here at UCLA 4 years ago, and it was perfect.  For the final project,
beg some place with real equipment to let you use it at night...
direct to video, or 35mm and then transfer to video.
