...extras, amongst them children you'd love to take home. A gilded barge gliding through the waters of an enchanted jungle. Well-behaved elephants. All of this headed by the regal, charming, sexy Chow Yun-Fat. Sounds better than the Greatest Show on Earth. However, the shaky basis, unnecessary length and wobbly storyline of Anna and the King denies it a place amongst epic love stories like Ben-Hur and The English Patient...

Being the new kin on the movie block, Pixar had yet to be a force in the movie industry. Luckily, Pixar and Disney teamed up in 1991 and committed to making up to three feature-length animated films.

Because it is difficult to predict how long the clearance process may take for a particular recruit, the candidate is reduced to being a powerless bystander, unable to plan a personal life and career, waiting indefinitely for a thumbs-up from the Agency. For those currently holding jobs and looking for a career change into the Agency the hope for a quiet job search is blown as the investigators require interviews from the candidate's current...

Back in that once upon a time, Walt Disney made miracles. In 1928 he presented a primitive Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie. By 1940 he'd brought sophisticated color and sound to cartoons, extended them to feature length and, with Fantasia, boldly merged classical music and abstract images. Those were revolutionary days for animation; more was conceived in those 12 years than in the 60 that followed. Fantasia 2000 may look a bit timid by comparison, but it provides some fine artists the chance to stretch and frolic, even as it reminds today's audiences of animation's limitless borders...
