Anastasia: Like the Phoenix Rising, Fox Takes On the Disney Tradition. It began as a gleam in an ex-Disney executive's eye, the conception that feature animation could grow and prosper somewhere other than at the bastion of the industry. Now, more than three years since the idea planted its seed in his fertile mind, Mill Mechanic, the chairman of 20th Century Fox Films, has seen that simple concept grow into a full-fledged division about to launch its first full-length animated feature, Anastasia.

Hercules: Having the Strength to Soar - On the surface, it seems like the folks at Walt Disney have done it all over the years, turning children's books (101 Dalmatians), fairy tales (Beauty and the Beast), adult novels (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and even real-life historical figures (Pocahontas) into much-loved, incredibly successful animated feature films. But oddly enough, they had never tapped into mythology, a natural source for artistic inspiration, until they hit on the story for their 35th animated feature, this summer's Hercules.

Spawn Is HBO's Midnight Crusader: HBO Animation pushes the envelope with Spawn, the first of its adult-themed animation series being offered for midnight viewing on HBO - On paper, Spawn looks like the top-selling comic book character he is, complete with tights and flowing cape. But regular readers of Todd McFarlane's hit comic book know that Spawn has a darker side - a much darker side.
