It would be a good idea to make a thread that lists “statistics” for requirements for making an animation.
Please feel free to share your experience in this thread 
The kind of information that could be interesting (but not only limited to these examples) would be:
- what is the poli count for models used for full-shot human(oid) character in realistic versus toon shaded style
- what is the typical poli count for a single frame [before layering/nodes/editing/other postpro]
- what tools do you use besides blender [sound editing: Ardour/Logic/Nuendo? video editing? 2D effects? etc]
- typical team size of your animation projects
- link to your work
- etc
