Such therapies will not, on their own, be able to rid the body of large tumors. So it is likely that oncologists will put together cocktails of treatments, each using a different strategy to outfox the cancer. In the future, traditional chemotherapy will be combined with other cell-killing treatments like the COX-2 inhibitors, drugs that are chemically related to pain-killers like ibuprofen and that appear to force cancer cells to self-destruct. Chemotherapy will also be used with treatments that aim simply to stop tumors from growing, such as the so-called antiangiogenic factors, relatively nontoxic compounds...

Anastasia is the first in a salvo of all-animated features from three deep-pocketed Disney rivals: Fox, Warner Bros. and DreamWorks SKG. The next few years will see the biggest splurge of cartoon features ever. But after the exclamation point come the question marks. Are there ways to make popular animated films that don't slavishly follow the rules Walt and the boys made up in the 1930s?
