Very broad question, short answer, Unix is an efficient operating system especially for number chrunching, etc (although with the amount of CPU firepower, it is hard to argue otherwise).

3D animation is also historically Sun, Unix dominated, packages are probably more mature on these platforms.
It is interesting to note that the CGI for "Titantic" was rendered on a Linux farm and the graphics for "The Matrix" were rendered on a FreeBSD farm.
