...even so, Anastasia would seem a particularly welcome release. Along with Dreamworks' upcoming Prince of Egypt (the story of Moses!) and Warner Brothers' Camelot, Anastasia promises to break Disney's long-held hegemony over animated features. Unfortunately, Fox has made the mistake of attempting to make a Disneyesque film better than Disney and in doing so, has made the same, crucial mistake as Disney: substituting historical fantasy for pure fiction, as in Disney's Pocahontas. With such great creative minds at their disposal, Disney and Fox opened unnecessarily problematic territory when they entered into the realm of historically inspired...
...Kennedy is the serene leader who guides the nation away from nuclear conflict. He is the man with the best grasp of how wars arise from miscalculation and weakness, the man who turns aside his bellicose warriors. Now we have Seymour Hersh and his book The Dark Side of Camelot, an exhausting catalog of Kennedy's alleged sexual indulgences, cover-ups and unlicensed use of family wealth to buy his office.

Efforts to expose what Seymour Hersh calls the dark side of Camelot began even before the idea of an American Camelot was born. On the day John Kennedy died, the best-selling nonfiction book in the U.S. was, as it had been for several months, Victor Lasky's J.F.K.: The Man and the Myth, a withering attack on the character and competence of the President. The attacks have continued, and escalated, ever since--in books by historians; in memoirs of friends, associates and acquaintances of Kennedy and his family; in gossip columns and tabloids; and at times in official documents...
Warner, which saw the part-animated Michael Jordan jape Space Jam earn $350 million in world theatrical release and merchandising, is preparing a fully animated feature, The Quest for Camelot, an Arthurian romance about a girl's search for Excalibur. The film, with songs by hitmakers David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager (at home she is Mrs. Robert Daly), has had a troubled history: it lost its director and two lead animators, and its release was bumped from this holiday season to next May. The Warner team's next project: Iron Giant, from Ted Hughes' novel about...
