Thanks for all of your hard work. I'll bookmark your post.
Just an FYI..maybe you interpret this differently than myself and others...but from the way I read the transcripts, the animations were a separate issue from the movies.

SAN DIEGO -- Jurors reacted emotionally to the sight of pornographic images -- some said to be depictions of violent attacks on children -- retrieved from David Westerfield's home computer and shown by prosecutors to the jury in his murder trial Tuesday.
At least two jurors cried after viewing the images found on computer discs police seized in Westerfield's home. Prosecutors showed jurors 17 examples of still images and movies found on compact and zip discs.

There may have been (probably were) live action movies, but what I just posted specifically says that THE rape movie was a cartoon. And, no, I don't interpret the testimony the way you said. It just appears that the first part of the presentation was all stills, and the last part all movies.
