Seeing Anastasia's sisters come out of the painting kills me, how later on she mentions how Alda teased her about a drawing Anastasia made but yet they did love each other. In her memory they seem to be giving her their blessing for surviving, and to keep on doing so.

Hmm the animation is mostly pretty bad as it all comes from animating over live actors. Too much in the uncanny valley with weird exaggerated movements that are totally unnatural. And besides an awesome set up and some great music, the movie really looses quality in the 3rd act, especially with Rasputin and that awful ending. Also it's kinda sad that the Don Bluth movie with the most success is the one that copied the Disney formula for money. Secret of Nihm and Land Before Time were more unique and not as popular though they do have a cult following. So I say Anastasia is rated pretty accurately: some people really love it, and some people thinks it's just OK.

It makes me so made when people say they don’t like this movie because it “isn’t accurate”. The movie wasn’t based on the story of the real Anastasia. The movie was based on the story told by the woman who thought she was Anastasia. It’s like they created a world where what she said was true and she got to live the rest of her life. And I think that’s beautiful.

The sad thing about her life is she had such a horrible end, and while the movie was so far from accurate as she died, the research didn't' come out until the 2000s she died. I had the hopes as I was a 90s kid that she lived and history wasn't so bad. The sad thing is the elegance of the 1910s that the Romanovs and the many other Royals of europe was vanguished in a desire for a new system that in this the extreme case was a genocide of the aristocracy. The problem is that we keep making these romantic things, while suffering is real, and is needing to be reduced...the murder of people is never necessary.

I believe there was also a belief that the family was dabbling in dark magic. If memory serves from history class, the youngest boy was really ill, and the family met constantly with a questionable person (the namesake of the villain in this movie) for healing. So the entire family and staff were probably killed because they were believed to have been tainted by dark magic.
@-keri-31518 жыл бұрын
Um, no, but I can see how you might make that mistake. :) Rasputin was believed to have mystical healing powers through prayer, and Alexei's mother turned to him for help after regular doctors couldn't cure painful bleeding from his Hemophilia B. However, she started relying on him more and more and believed his prayers were working, and Rasputin visited the palace very very often. The ruling class of Imperial Russia started to turn against him and not like him, since he started getting more privileges than they had. They were also afraid of him influencing the government somehow, and wanted to stop this. He was shot to death for this in 1916 (a year before the Bolsheviks took power in 1917, and two years before the execution of the Romanov family in 1918). Rasputin, however, did not have anything to do with the family's executions. Their deaths were purely political during the Russian Civil War when the Bolsheviks took over and established communism in the country.

Andre Ford Well, the whole mystery about her started because when they found the bodies of the Romanovs, a few were missing. Based on the remains, Alexi wasn't there, along with one of the other girls, either Anastasia or Maria, they couldn't tell at the time. But around 2007 they did find additional bodies whose DNA did match the royal family, so unfortunately Anastasia or Maria did die. But it's nice to dream, isn't it? At least their all together now.

This song is so beautifully made. If you pay attention to the lyrics and how Anastasia sings this with the music... It paints such a clear picture and story of her memory of home & her grandma!! Even the title makes sense with the timing of events! A true masterpiece with the subtle hints of the scene where Anastasia tried to flee Russia with her grandmother but got left behind as she tried to get on the train, only to be knocked unconscious unable to leave Russia. It's ingenious how they matched the lyrics to the scene of their memory together in Russia, only for it to be used later again in the movie when they reunited in Paris ('Together in Paris' key for the music box even had a purpose) and they both recall this song together in a much happier tone. This movie was well executed and well ahead of it's time. The quality of being able to bring together kids and adults to appreciate and enjoy this movie is outstanding! It may not have been popular during it's release, but those who've watched this movie always go back to it. Truly Timeless and marvelous! 👏✨

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's just so beautiful, so haunting and the lyrics are absolutely wonderful. I can listen to this song over and over again and not get tired of it.

I always loved this movie. But of my generation of course many haven't seen it, as it's not "cool" to still watch these movies. Anastasia holds a special place in my heart, as it has beautiful music that I sang and danced to in my bedroom in pretty dresses and curled hair. I can even remember having a little crush on Dimitri when I was around 8 and first saw the movie ;). I'm now 15 and I still watch the movie every weekend, I can probably recite all of the songs by memory. I wish that this was a more well known movie as it surpasses every other animation that I have ever seen.

+Sukritta Panutrakul Just listening to this music again gives me chills on how beautiful it is. My generation is around , as you probably know, The whip, Hoverboards, Netflix and Chill, but in my mind, which nobody seems to understand is,when I think how these people were actually alive, even though their story was altered, it is just amazing how there were people before me, there were actually wars, they aren't just subjects you learn in a history book.

I have always felt a connection to this song and this movie. I never quite knew why, but for a long period of my life I thought I made this song up. I would hum it and dance to it in my head and none of my other friends knew what it was. It wasn't until just a few years ago I learned that it came from this movie, and I had no idea how I already knew the song, but once I saw the movie I loved it too. Turns out, when the movie was released I went and saw it with my Grandma (she passed away when I was in Elementary school) I never remembered the movie because I was too young when I saw it, but I remembered this song, and with the song came the memory of my Grandma which is why I love it so much. In a way, i kinda pulled off my own Anastasia story XD

Dancing bears, Painted wings, Things I almost remember, And a song someone sings, Once upon a December. Someone holds me safe and warm, Horses prance through a silver storm, Figures dancing gracefully across my memory Someone holds me safe and warm, Horses prance through a silver storm, Figures dancing gracefully across my memory. Far away, Long ago, Glowing dim as an ember, Things my heart used to know, Things it yearns to remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December

@@bdayishere1018 Anastasia Romanov was part of the last Russian royal family, the Romanovs. They were all gruesomely murdered because their enemies feared that if a member of the royal family was left alive they could at some point reclaim the throne. Some people held out hope that the young daughter, Anastasia, somehow made it out alive but apparently that wasn't the case

I wanted to growing up, never did. Twirled once by myself until I couldn't stand. I was a weird kid. Boys don't cry, boys don't dance. Not like this, boys don't have feelings. We do, we're just told to hide them by not only our family, but by our communities. I still wonder about this one moment, a memory I remember having less than the event itself. Used to imagine myself in that scene, wondering where my real family was. Spinning as this song happened, the movements in my thoughts. I played the music once by myself on the VHS I think, and the moment stayed with me. I cried once it was over, wondering what was wrong with me. I love to fight, I love the dark, I love videogames and martial arts. But I've never forgotten the feeling this song made me feel. Freedom, Hope, wanting a family. Not one that decided my life. But one whom decided to live with me, no matter what I was.

I loved this film when I was little. I forgot many of the details when I became older, but the one thing I always remembered was this song - it's so beautiful... they practically transcribed the character's desperation, sorrow, nostalgia, and mystery into the melody. I think it's the defining track of the movie.

Before 2009, everyone thought it was quite possible Anastasia had survived, because her body wasn't found with her family's. What everyone forgets, is her little brother's body wasn't found with them either. I love this movie, don't get me wrong, but I would've loved to see her little brother with her during the adventure. His death was just as tragic as hers.
