I can't test this under windows XP right now (I can tomorrow).  But
how are you running your script (double clicknig, from a shell, from
within an IDE?

What does 

  c:> python anim_tk.py --verbose-helpful report?

I searched the matplotlib-users archives at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=33405 for
PyEval_RestoreThread.  This has cropped up a few times before on
windows (including a September post from you also on anim_tk which did
not appear to be resolved).  

My usual first guess when people get this message is that they are
trying to run matplotlib from within a GUI IDE and are getting an IDE
conflict, which is why I asked you to test from the command shell.
Let me know the results of the tests above, because I'd like to track
this one down.
