Long before its release, Fox's ANASTASIA was greeted with some strangely familiar skeptical remarks. "The execution of the Romanovs?" scoffed the wags. "Not exactly the stuff for an animated film, is it?" Similar words greeted Disney's POCAHONTAS a couple of years ago, and that film went on to take a criticaly pasting for not being enough "fun." Journalists and studios have formed an odd tag-team perpetuating the notion that an animated film with adult subject matter is just a waste of time between the Happy Meal characters. While television has produced smart animation for grown-ups like "The Simpsons," "King of the Hill," "Dr. Katz" and "South Park," adult-themed animated features have been treated as though they were violating the social order. It's like folks don't like their cartoons gettin' uppity.
