if we are talking movies we are most likely talking renderman
prman is a scanline renderer, but bmrt was used for 7 shots in a bugs life 
(needed ray traced reflections)

pov lacks displacement mapping, photon mapping (at least in the offcial 
dist) support for nurbs, no shader support, etc. and its animation control 
isn't geared towards movies at all
