Goodness gracious I'm years late on this but HOLY SMOKES 1:47- 2:20 UNPARALLELED CHILLS ARE YOU KIDDING ME RN, Gleb's wavering resolve, Anya's growing confidence, THE VISAGES OF THEIR ANCESTORS/FATHER????? HELLO?????? I love this so much, thank you so so much for sharing this <3 <3

This animatic permanently changed my brain chemistry thanks very much

Reminder: Communism is when ugly deformed freaks make it illegal to be normal then rob and/or kill all successful people out of petty resentment and cruelty. The ideology is all just window dressing.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH SO GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO GOOD

the fact he sang this while anya was listening he and her not knowing shes actually the actual anastatia

I LOVE THIS I LOVE THE BROADWAY SHOW AND I LOVE THIS IT SOO BEAUTIFUL YOU CAN FEEL THE PAIN IN ANASTASIA'S VOICE WHEN SHE INTRODUCED THAT SHE WAS THE GRAND DUCHESS

1:30

still the best anya animatic i love you op

Beautiful animatic BUT TELL ME WHY WHEN WATCHING AGAIN (to read the comments) I STARTED TO TEAR UP 😭

I just found this during a random Anastasia binge, but by god is this incredible!!! I got chills, your expression work is phenomenal. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece!

I think about this animatic often It's one of my favourite ever

i know everyone is giving very deep and beautiful compliments about emotion and plot consistency and stuff- but can i just say that i really liked how you drew his hair? 😂 bravo 👏🏻

AAARGGGH I LOVE IT!!! I love how Anastasia is the one whose walking towards him and he’s the one backing up

i played the horn part in this ugh there are few more satisfying feelings than the hit in "we have a past to bury ANYAAAAAAAA" like damn legit almost creamed my pants in the pit every dam night

I love how Vlad gave someone his autograph 😭👍

This is FANTASTIC.

I know this video is kinda old HOWEVER I actually just got home from a dance rehearsal for this song for my school's production of Anastasia! The whole time Vlad is just kinda in awe of the crowd and it's great there's also one part where all of the reporters cross in front of him and spin him all around and then Lily comes in to save him and it's great. Also I really love your art style!!!! This is exactly how i imagine the characters and their personalities in my head and it's awesome how you animated those personalities!!!!

My high-school put on this play, and it was absolutely beautiful.

WHAT A FUCKING CHAMP- THE ART THE MOVEMENT THE CAMERA PLACEMENT THE EXPRESSIONS HOLY- CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The way at the end they both do something their fathers would never allow, especially after trying to claim themselves as them. Anastasia forgiving and Gleb not killing her

Still holding out hope this is finished one day. It's so good. I'm living for your expressions on the Countess.

THIS IS SO GOOOOOOOD

That was so adorable!!

Absolutely adore the vampiric look he has!

The romanovs were monsters. I know it's easy to idolize then, especially as the house the Bolsheviks built is currently trying to start WWIII, but the Romanovs were not better. I like how the play maintains that the royals were no saints, and yet equally maintains that killing the children was too cruel an act. So, the play asks, if this situation DID happen, what would be the ethical thing to do? Gleb wrestles with this question the entire play, and even here, at his most self-assured, you can feel the conflict storming within. What, really, has this girl done? What right does he have to kill her? Gleb is such a good antagonist. Not a villain. Just a good man who thinks he's doing the right thing

THIS IS JUST SO ADORABLE AND SHOULD TOTALLY HAVE MORE VIEWS

Amazing!! 💖💖 I love your style so much

Loveee it!, I really hope you'd do the whole song or more parts of the musical!

FRICK that's adorable! The smile on my face man!

3 years later but I'm still thinking of this. "But it's the silence after that I remember most/The world stopped breathing/And I was no longer a boy" followed by "...but I believe he did a proud and noble task" so perfectly captures a man who recognizes the horror that his father wrought, but denies that horror by convincing himself that his father did something good because he can't stand the alternative

you made him so evil and squishy its perfect

why... WHY did youtube just reccomend this to me??? This is amazing! I love how animated they are for an animatic, and I especially love that little head shake at "nothing-," it caught me off-guard xd

Thus gives human feelings to ghe Romanovs killers and in fact the head killer was so messed up afterwards and he hated how his men were desecrated thier bodies and he felt true remorse for his part in thier deaths! Gleb im glad gave us a flawed antagonist with conflicting emotions and a story behind him and his arc...more then Rasputin!

in fact revualtion is human tragedy

Could you possibly do Land Of Yesterday? That's one of my favorite songs in the musical. My high school did Anastasia and it was a huge success. I played the most characters, and I was in Land of Yesterday, it's a very fun song.

I love the little "nothing" bit. So much character in the expression not changing but shaking his head.

i love your style and your story telling! crazy how we interpret the song differently :o

YOU'RE NOT DEAD

This is perfect!! (Also kinda funny cuz I only subbed a couple days ago lol)

NICE

Lydia's thought process of realising she could really mess with this dude was brilliantly conveyed here. I love it!

The cutoff is perfect! LMAO

INCREDIBLE!!!

Ahh! I love the character designs so much!!!

That shake of his head when he says nothing absolutely kills me. This is well done tho, it's impressive! I loved every second of it :^]

banger

Aaaaaaah amazing!!! Every animation is worth the wait, this was a solid 10/10

1:35 I’m guessing the girl with ribbons in her hair is Maria, Olga is the girl close to the back with her parents and the girl Tatiana is the one sitting down next to Alexei. Please tell me if I’m wrong 😅

Currently playing Gleb in a production of Anastasia and literally found myself looking at these videos as framework
