Anastasia is a full-length film realized by the 20th Century Fox, which regrettably will realize no more than three traditional cartoon movies because of Titan A.E's failure. It will be the release of the Ice Age movie, in 2002, that would make the 20th Century Fox back in the movie making business.  ...

 

The 20th Century Fox is one of the most important production companies of the cinema industry. Their biggest success have been: this day Adversity, by James Cameron. It was created in 1915, originally under the name of Fox Film. In these debuts, the studio which we know today was mainly interested in the theater. The company developed very quickly, and in 1926, it made the 1,2 km acquisition ² of ground in the campaign on the West of Beverly Hills, where it made build Movieton City, the biggest cinema studio of its time. However, William Fox became bankrupt. With more than 500 theaters, Fox Film was placed in compulsory liquidation. The only choice which offered itself then to allow the studio to survive was a "fusion", and so in spring, 1935, its taken place with the Twenty Century Picturnes, the independent and very powerful organization. It is from there that we know its current name: The 20th Century Fox, renowned for its licenses.
