I don't think the FMV's really allowed for us to see much more than was shown, due to having to keep things short, sweet and to the point.
Essentially though, you are right although comparing any OWI FMV to Pixar's Finding Nemo seems a tad unfair to me. Finding Nemo was absolutely stunning and took many years to fine tune in a medium where graphics are the be all and end all. The FMVs in OWI's games, however, are just the icing on the cake and really didn't need to be anything special.
Again though, with the focus now being on animated CGI, without this silly 'gameplay' thing to get in the way, it's my opinion that we can set our hopes high for the first Oddworld feature film. Lorne's vision of Oddworld was always an epic one, and when you think about it the technology at his disposal in the realm of hollywood by far outdoes anything he could achieve on any console. This is a good move for OWI.
