This is semantic quibbling. The cost issue is still there.
To answer your question, i understand CGI to be digital image work. Whether the finished product is cartoony or realistic doesn't really matter. Old school animation takes many forms, from claymation to stop-action to cel-block and is/was used with or without live action.
