Yes, of course expatriates worry about family and former associates back in Iran.

But criticizing the regime is criticism whether it's done in live action or animation. Ya worry no matter what the medium.

Ya think the mullahs were OK with Persepolis cuz it was animated?? No...not from the protests they lodged with presenters and embassies all over the world where it was shown. Do you think the fact that Persepolis was animated softened the hard liner's ire toward Marjane Satrapi?

I stand by my statement that Satrapi "could" have made as a live action pic somewhere with some actors if that's what the she had really wanted to do - she lives in France after all. But SHE DID NOT so choose. She chose to make the film of her famous *graphic* novel in her own medium as they best way to tell that particular story.

BTW, Satrapi is currently working on her second film, an adpation of another of her graphic novels, this time in live action.
