This is a case where animation differs from live action. Obviously in live action you can't reshoot the footage so the film is as far back as you go... with animation, if the original hand drawn cels still exist, you can remaster from those and essentially recreate the footage in a pure manner.

Yes, but film is still a very high quality source, more than enough for an HD transfer, which is actually low resolution compared to what film is capable of (assuming at least 35mm film, which is the most common format for Hollywood-type movies).

Yep. Some of the most impressive HD transfers I've ever seen are of old(er) film movies. Sure, the 'all digital' stuff that's been coming out lately is very sharp - sometimes overly so - but it's amazing how well a well maintained or cleaned film master can transfer to HD.
Re: projectors - another yep. when you're talking about increasing the screen size by a factor of 4 or more (area), you want as much resolution as possible. The terminology is different, but the effect is the same: seeing the "pixel structure" of the image. Many pj manufacturers use techniques to blend the pixels while preserving sharpness to try to reduce the "screen door effect" (SDE). I have a 720p projector and an 85" screen that looks very nice at 8', and spectacular at 12'.
