ANASTASIA Live Action | Proof of Concept Short Film

[@--7107]

Are we going to talk about how much the movie Anastasia is just like L. They were born in Russia, they both have amnesia, they have an attitude just like Anastasia (which we all love them them for), they have (really) cute dog(s), and they both have a supportive friend/partner who’s trying to help them through their amnesia. Tell me if I missed anything!

While disney now owns fox, fox was the ones who made the movie. Not disney (it was made by an animator who left disney though and wanted to make his own projects. Which is why its got that disney look) So fox would most likely have to be the ones to greenlit a live action. If they do though they better hire L and everyone else who worked on this lol cause this was amazing

[@heatherrhoades2006]

The majority of the royal family's remains were found in the forest just outside of Yekaterinburg in Russia in 1979. Yekaterinburg was were they were assassinated. They identified the parents and three of the girls in one grave. In 2007, they found the young boy and the fourth daughter in another grave nearby. Their executions were horrific. The Bolsheviks involved were brutal fanatics because Lenin feared that regular Bolshevik soldiers were becoming too sympathetic to the royal family. Possibly to the point of assisting in an escape. The White Army (tsar supporters) were apparently getting too close to Yekaterinburg and the orders were given for their deaths. Russian leadership has stated that the horrific murders of the family, especially that of the children, is one of the darkest moments in Russian history.
