@Eevee Ish Rapunzel and Anya are long lost princesses who don't know they are royalty. Eugene and Dimitri have the same personalities as they both start off cocky and then they change. Love hate relationship between both Anya and Dimitri and Rapunzel and Eugene . Pascal and Pooka are alike as they get nervous whenever they see their owners kissing their spouses . Guy nearly dies and survives. There is a video on KZbin clarifying why Tangled is like Anastasia.

[@farmhappy3520]

Anastasia is unlike all those Disney princess movies that are too good to be true. A princess doesn't always have to end up with a prince. Everyone can be princess and prince in their lovers' eyes. This is life and destiny. It is what makes Anastasia so special and will always have a place in my heart.

[@kalinlancaster8919]

All the Romanovs have a place in my heart. Nicholas may have made mistakes but did not deserve to die for them.

[@Libellulaire]

Not all Disney princesses end up with princes. For example in Tangled or Frozen the princesses don't marry princes. It's not that uncommon for Disney nowadays. But the true originality of Anastasia and what made the ending so nice is that Anya gives up on her title. In Disney, if one isn't noble/royal then they'll marry in the noble/royal family of their partner and live a wealthy life, but Anya truly chose love, she didn't "get it all". Also Disney movies end on the couple getting married and living in their big castle, both supposedly being proofs of their eternal happiness. It's a true ending -> marriage for love + wealth are the finish line, the goal. While in Anastasia they are simply enjoying being together romantically and are going God knows where. It's not a closed ending, it's the beginning of their romance and new adventures, marriage and wealth aren't what makes one truly happy.

[@kastheglitch]

[@kristinahuchison2511]

I’d argue Aladdin and John Smith tbh, both I had huge crushes on as a kid. Aladdin feeling so insecure about his poor status to impress Jasmine, and John having to learn a valuable lesson about acceptance and differences, and especially because he doesn’t just automatically become Pocahontas’s boyfriend, he was completely ok with just being a friend, despite he really wanted to be something more. But yes, Flynn is another great dimensional character, as he had absolutely no intention of actually taking Rapunzel to the lights and tried several times scaring her into going home and giving his satchel back. But his heart melts when Rapunzel encourages him to be himself and calls him Eugene, not Flynn.

Fast forward to 2009 I ended up in the hospital with a brain tumor a month after losing my grandfather to cancer and that was headed down the path to self destruction. Then later that year my life was saved by the cries of a newborn puppy and his mother let me handle him as he was born. He truly is the best to ever happen to me.

[@emmastential]

Now, I completely understand that the movie gets a lot of hate, but obviously, this is a KIDS MOVIE. And I feel bad about the gruesome murders of Anastasia and her family. But this movie is so magical, and is more about finding your home and your family. It's obviously not historically accurate, for Anastasia was killed along with her family and Anna Anderson wasn't in any way related to Anastasia. But this is my favourite movie for it's story, characters and songs. Also, in the very beginning when Anastasia was separated from her Grandmother, the Grandmother says, "And I never saw her again." Meaning that the creators even stated that this wasn't a true story. Will forever be my favourite childhood movie, and I watch it anytime I feel I need to take a trip back to my childhood.

[@drymeee]

The Nerdy Generation I'm always surprised when people say they hate this movie because it wasn't historically accurate like fr Pocahontas wasn't historically accurate, Cinderella had a lot of modifications (cause Anastasia and Driziella actually cut they feet to fit in the shoe), Sleeping Beauty actually gets raped by the Prince and wakes up because she was giving birth. I can go on and on but in the end these movies are still amazing and fun to watch even if it's historically inaccurate

[@PrettyKennyful]

Who are the 177 weirdos who didn't like this? My childhood would not have been the same without this movie. I love Anastasia!!

[@StephyDee]

This is literally one of those movies from my childhood that I can practically recite word for word, down to the timing they are said. I'll never get tired of it. :)

[@nsandoli]

I watched this movie about 27 years ago but I haven't forgot about this song. it's still good. :)

[@thatgarbagecan5595]

THIS MOVIE WAS SO UNDERRATED! The music is great the voices were great! So what the hell happend

[@rebeccadumornay3605]

It's not Disney...that's what happened. And it stinks, too because this is one of my favorite movies.

[@Ponteszk]

Rebecca Dumornay fuck you

[@rebeccadumornay3605]

Vinicius Pontes because?

[@thenumberoneyoungthug7477]

Rebecca Dumornay I think they thought you meant the movie stinks.

[@mrsrodriguez8255]

Can't wait to see the remake in real life! ♡

[@vydo251]

This move was one of my favorite movies. I'm crying.

[@yanuyanu7451]

Oh darling you, me too

[@AfterDark33]

I listened to this song the whole 4 hours to Chicago, on my little CD player, and I have been searching for this song for YEARS, it has permanently engraved in my mind and I have finally found bliss.

[@applemint7670]

Man back when Disney was still amazing. I always cry when watching Anastasia, the bit when she was dancing in Kremlin with her dad broke my heart.

[@erickgarcia3640]

Its not disney

[@flatjazz12]

Dimitri is basically animated Leonardo Dicaprio :o

[@Alo-gp7mk]

Omg you're right

[@menchielota8304]

We were strangers, starting out on a journey Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing At the beginning with you No one told me I was going to find you Unexpected, what you did to my heart When I lost hope, you were there to remind me This is the start [Chorus:] And life is a road that I wanna keep going Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you We were strangers, on a crazy adventure Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true Now here we stand, unafraid of the future At the beginning with you [Chorus] Knew there was somebody, somewhere A new love in the dark Now I know my dream will live on I've been waiting so long Nothing's gonna tear us apart [Chorus] In the end I want to be standing At the beginning with you...

This is one of the best love songs to exist. A perfect love song for the perfect love story.

[@kathleendickens5428]

I'm 27 and i love this movie

[@DianaJanoyeva]

Im 25 too and love this movie.. btw Im russian like Anya :D

[@PogaduchyEDU]

I think this is one of the most beautiful and incredible movie songs ever made. Always positive and romantic in the same time!

[@sueladd8147]

At The Beginning By Richard Max and Donna Lewis ( From Anastasia 1997 ) (Official HD Video)

[@pawprintheroes8408]

My favorite movie growing up. I will always have a soft spot for this movie. It im sure sparked my love of history. I love the whole story of the romanovs. not just them but also rasputin. the stories end tragically but they are still amazing.

[@anastasiaabramchuk2654]

Thank you be on my KZbin live I'm gonna do it now

[@jengold5868]

I get hit with the strongest wave of nostalgia everytime I watch this masterpiece of a movie or listen to this soundtrack. This was criminally overlooked. This is exactly what Disney Princess movies WANTED to be. I have a copy of the physical CD soundtrack LOL you can say it's a core memory. Everything about this story and its characters is lovely and exquisitely animated. I miss this style so much but these kind of movies never get old. Please go watch it if you haven't already! Also wtf spotify why can't I listen to this???

[@emilyroberts3832]

Lol, the ending to this video creates a funny effect. "I started out on a journey with you... it was a nightmare!"

[@Mimikee12]

can't stop laughing :D so true

[@vishalkhanderao6480]

watch the movie u will get the story behind saying nightmare

[@emilyroberts3832]

Yeah, I've seen the movie, but the nightmare clip at the end just makes the song sound funny.

[@vishalkhanderao6480]

ya Emily but this word is by mistake added to it other wise its so sweet song

[@Vanorah7]

vishal khanderao obviously she knows that...

[@ahmadaslam383]

I'm a 26 year old man. And yes I love this. As kids all the kids watched other things and I watched beauty & the beast, Cinderella, Snow white, Pocahontas, Anastasia etc. :)

[@javirosew6528]

[@racheltheraddest]

Still have a crush on Dimitri to this day! 😂❤️ and this song is absolutely amazing!!

[@anastasiaabramchuk2654]

His taken already he's been married already with me

[@jadefranklin1379]

Hey fuck u bitch!!! Go away u Racist twat

[@MasoodaVarachia-t2s]

I have watched this movie countless times and this song ties into all. Makes you believe in the idea that you are destined to meet certain people. You just have to stay true to who you are and trust the process. Love the edit! Truly my fav movie of all time

[@moonbunnycakes]

2019 and still one of the best looking animated movies IMO. It looks so good and all the details amaze me. I watch it from time to time and just stare in awe at all the time taken into it and the facial expressions are so realistic.

[@tutusketches]

Colleen Marsh I think it’s because they rotoscoped a lot of scenes/most scenes! especially for dimitri. i adore this film and the character design, but there was always something that made be feel a bit odd with dimitri though i adore him the most, and I think it’s the fact he’s rotoscoped haha~~ (I know this now that I started my degree in animation)

[@beautifulspacesllc]

I LOVE IT TOO THANK YOU

[@anastasiaabramchuk2654]

Thank you

[@sweetpeach1987]

This was my wedding song back in 2011 :) still married we met online I was in Canada he was in California BEST journey I EVER HAD :) and still going

[@darkXtacy]

Damn, I'm happy for you both! I'm in California and I last summer i was long distancing with someone from Canada, sadly it didn't work out but never give up!

[@madattitude6726]

Super happy for you guys and wishing you the best 🥳

[@jadefranklin1379]

Awww!!! I'm so happy for u!!☺️❤

[@Vixen743]

I keep thinking that I should have had this as my wedding song

[@ronniedawseyjr5641]

Never saw the movie, but remember when this song hit the radio. I remember hearing it maybe two or three times. Then it vanished off the air... Beautiful song

[@zarineg1567]

Anyone who dislikes this song hasn’t found the person they want to start out on a journey with! 🥺 I love this song.

[@markjosephdiaz89]

:( happily start at the beginning with her but sadly ending the journey separately :(

hullabaloo also princess and the frog. These two is being underestimated by many. But i personally love them. They're my favorites

[@sarzz8494]

Well who’s to say you don’t fall in love straight away but don’t realise until later on

[@sarzz8494]

Píno òso yeah so it does happen also you never know when your going to fall in love there’s no time limit

[@AutumnRose17543]

YES

[@alholbertlim1154]

A true story. A beautiful princess from Russia. May God remember her and her loveones. Good job for producing this wonderful classic animated movie.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

Well, the princess from Russia part is true but the rest of it is fictional. The real Anastasia was executed along with her family during the revolution and the remains thrown down an abandoned mine shaft. Very sad and tragic

[@code-ge3wo]

I've been singing the chorus of this song every time it pops up into my head every now and then for years, and I always try to remember where I heard it from. Today, I decided to randomly rewatch Anastasia (the last time I watched it was when I was a child), and when the song started playing at the end of credits, I was startled. I thought, 'Ah, that's where l heard it from!' I finally figured it out. 😂😂😂This movie is underrated but truly a masterpiece. I enjoyed it even more now than I did as a kid. The details and animation were top-tier. 💛💛💛

[@smehnaz5002]

This animated film was the first ever one I watched as a kid...even after all this time, it remains my favourite...gosh, almost 20 years later and the story is so good and wholesome. This song brings back a lot memories, and will definitely be my wedding song ❤

[@covalopezramos7677]

Just rewatched this movie sooo beautiful of course it was my favourite when I was little. And yes i still have the biggest crush on Dimitri fifteen years later.

[@marinalopezzrm]

totally agree hahahaha

[@shirley7577]

2021 anyone? this song is timeless!

[@mariedonggaas6307]

I'm here because this is one of the songs sang by the actors in the teleserye (Be careful with my heart) A teleserye in the Philippines... Number one entertainment teleserye that moved the heart of many viewers untill now

[@_fairyxprincess_4490]

Me 🤍

[@MrPann6]

I like this song so much.

[@VividProductions123]

2024 here!

[@TadanoCandy]

This is my favorite "princess" movie, and also my favorite non-Japanese animated film. I rewatch it every now and then, like every couple of years when I feel like it, to relive the magic and the amazing characterization and storytelling you wouldn't expect for a kids' movie. People criticize it because it doesn't reflect the real life events, but this is a top tier story if everyone could just consider it as plain fiction.

[@ChloeKruegerSenpai]

Fall of Romanovs and Rise of the Communist in 1921, Real Event

[@TadanoCandy]

@@ChloeKruegerSenpai but Anastasia had never escaped alive. The movie depicts a what-if scenario based on a rumor that circulated back in the day

[@ChloeKruegerSenpai]

@@TadanoCandy Propably you don't need to expect on Fairy Tales that always a Kids Story in Movies, the Truth are came from Dark Stories and Slaughters

Thank you for the lyrics, you are great !

[@BadtimeBard]

Dimitri and Anya are my favourite animated couple :3

[@rachelmurray3434]

mine too, mine too

[@bearsbearsbears375]

same here!

[@gloriachelsea]

Wait wait how did I just see the little Titanic similarities. (I know it's based on the story of Russian princess Anastasia) but the red hair and poor boy who falls in love with her who is charming and also street smart. The stair scene when she shows up in a dress on the staircase and when their dancing on the boat ... Ah clever clever movie. Such an underrated movie!!!

[@dany980ng]

please don't compare this lovely story to that waste of time and money movie with all my respect yo your opinion

[@antimarleyan5208]

Gloria Emmanuella Anastasia Romanov is not a princess though. 😂😂 But I agree! It's a really clever movie, and it's so underrated!

[@Darklilith30]

Her father was Tsar Nicholai II, the last emperor of Russia. She was the Grand Duchess, which as close as princess as it gets in Russia.

[@emanuellax]

Gloria Emmanuella I never watched the Titanic..

[@pikppa]

Oddly enough this was completely a coincidence since Titanic and Anastasia came out the same year so neither could have been inspired by the other.

[@potterheadsfandoms4912]

In my opinion, Dimitri is incredibly hot and Anastasia in extremely beautiful and they make the cutest couple ever. I love this film so much😂😂😂

[@xbabygirltx]

Dimitri: forever my biggest cartoon crush since my childhood years! 😂😂

[@dominikalozowska3351]

My favourite couple ever

[@melissafischer4644]

[@ashantiamv9699]

This is the most heartwarming song that you'll ever seen, is a miracle Hallmark inc haven't made a movie with this song.

[@ayaanatuansi6879]

I wish anastaisha was popular like cinderella and auroa like seroisly :(

[@AgentMacklinFBI]

Same

[@archersangel1]

because it's not a disney movie, it was done by fox, so it's doesn't have the merchandise & stuff like disney movies.

[@user-ln6pu7kq9j]

IMO It's better than those movies

I love Disney and love this movie just as much!!

I dont want it to be ruined....

[@tune-a1481]

we already have broadway musical

[@sofiathomson9137]

please leave animated movies alone T^T

[@saiquatabassum6321]

Yeah. Live action ruins classics. I.e. all of the Disney remakes

[@lululs4014]

[@kimakiniifriends]

My friend played this at her wedding and I could barely contain the tears :,O

[@Mayydayy86]

Her face at 0:35 is just perfect. She has absolutely no idea how beautiful she is or the effect she's having on Dimitri

[@talyorgreen9342]

1:50 I love how Dimitri just causally punches Rasputin😂😂😂

[@WallyHandford]

It's just so sad that the real Anastasia didn't survive :(

[@samuelpi1670]

She would be dead anyways,she was a girl in 1917,if she had survived she would be even older than the survivors from the Titanic

[@MichaelCollins1922]

I think Wally meant that she died a horrible and painful death, instead of experience a life full like most of us have the pleasure to.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

Yes the poor girl - I can't imagine the horror of her last moments as she first witnessed her father being shot in the head at point blank range, a few seconds before she and her mother and sisters were shot. Even then both she and her mother were still breathing so they were bayonetted and clubbed on the head with rifle butts - she didn't deserve such a ghastly death

[@princepeterwolf]

I FOUND YOU

[@LukeRhodesMusic]

Watch the Broadway musical 😁

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

I'm 21 and used to watch this movie a lot when I was a kid. And now, more than 15 years later I find this song

[@salehamubeen6612]

Exactly the same case here ... listened to it after so many years...was my childhood favourite song

[@DaveyJay.]

We watched and heard this as kids together, and now we're all grown up.

[@idolkita6628]

This song is our graduation song when i was in high skul.. This is so special to me ...after all the saddest part through my high school life is still here in my heart and all the journey that i came in right now is still sad... Yet learnings is still there... Love love love...

[@abbieprice3430]

I love this song! It’s probably my favorite one from the whole movie! I wonder what the Romanov family would think of this movie if they ever saw it, especially Anastasia herself!

[@ericjones149]

I’d be happy that they made me so beautiful and got Richard Marx to make this timeless masterpiece! 😭😭

[@pleasereadthechanneldescri4518]

I love the calm vibe the song gives! I remember watching this.

[@etspawn12]

This song is perfect! Absolutely perfect!
