Aleksandr Petrov is now jobless, has run out of money made from his first movie, and cannot even start a new movie due to lack of funds.

No happy endings in the cruel world of celluloid animations-for-money-not-art.

Agreed, it is a generalization.

But if you delve into the history of comic strips or animations or anime, you'll see what I am saying is quite true. Too often, creative/genius artists have struggled to get due recognition and (corresponding) rewards, while lackadaisical projects have reaped huge amounts of money due to marketing muscle and misuse of established brands/studios.

It's happening a lot in my country too, these past few decades.
