	Fox produces animated feature - with a difference
		Since it opened in late 1993, the studio has been devoted to the making of ''Anastasia,'' a fairy-tale rendition of the lost Russian princess who was the last surviving member of the toppled Romanov family.
		Fox built its $100 million animation studio outside of Los Angeles to ''break the mold and be different,'' said Kiki Morris, senior vice president and general manager of Fox Animation Studios.
		Just as Fox broke the mold by leaving Los Angeles, Bluth and his creative partner, Don Goldman, left Disney after spending the early part of their careers at the animation giant.

	Russian Royal Family - Response From Fox Studios in Regards To the Movie : Anastasia
		Presented below is the response from Fox Animation Studio in regards to the letter written previously.
		Fox was not looking for "permission" to create a fairy tale based on the fact that the real Anastasia was a wonderful human being or the myth and rumors that caused the essays, books and eventually a play to be wriften.
