Question:animation and range problem error

Is there a reason that an angle theta from zero to pi/2 (0 to 90 deg) returns as invalid for an animation range?  I am trying to rotate a vector 2D for visualization.  This is build-up towards a 3d rotating vector in an animation.  

 

Here is the code: theta is the arrow tip rotation's location via cos(theta), sin(theta) coordinates in a 2D vector.

 

animate(arrow, [<cos(theta), sin(theta)>, width = [0.05, relative], view = [-1 .. 2, -1 .. 2], color = "blue"], theta = 0 .. Pi/2)

 

ErrorMessage:  

Error, (in plots/animate) 0 = 0 .. (1/2)*Pi  is an invalid animation range

 

 

Thanks In Advance,

Bill
