5 out of 5 stars I watched it as a little kid and remember...   September 19, 2006
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I remember when i was 3 my dad brought home this movie and the minute i watched it i fell in love with it. Now I'm twelve and found the movie, and i fell in love with it again. The story line is amuzing and i love it to this day. I like the music too. If you really listen to The Beginning, it will make you cry, at least it made me cry. If you don't buy the movie, buy the music...OR BOTH!


5 out of 5 stars What a Fabulous Movie!   August 11, 2006
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The music is very entertaining and the story really catches your attention. The plot is well put together along with the thrilling and suspenseful scenes of action/adventure. Anastasia (though she doesn't know who she is) is on a quest to find the truth about her past, and bumps into a few guys conning to get a girl to pretend she's the long lost Anastasia and receive their reward, if the girl fits the part. Together, they all go on the journey expecting to find what they're looking for, but on the way there, they face many challenging obstacles, growing closer together all the time. Even a little romance between the travelers comes in that threatens both their lives and having them never actually getting what they traveled the long way for. This movie is totally worth it!!!!


5 out of 5 stars Anastasia   August 5, 2006

When I first watched Anastasia as a young child of eight, it didn't take much for me to fall in love with the movie. A romantic sap even then, I appreciated the skillfully written plotline and couldn't care less about the historical accuracy - or rather, complete disregard for historical accuracy.br /br /After a couple of years, I outgrew typical Disney animation (which this movie isn't, by the way - it's Fox, their first animated feature) and lumped Anastasia along with that. Somehow, however, it got saved when we sold the majority of our animated films in our garage sale, and three years later on a whim I popped our dusty VHS copy into our VCR...and fell in love with it all over again.br /br /The movie deals with the still-vibrant theory that, when the Bolcheviks under Lenin overtook Russia and executed the imperial family, the youngest daughter, Anastasia, survived. In this film, the Russian Revolution is set in the year 1916, with an eight-year-old Anastasia; already, the historical inaccuracies are present. It shows how Anastasia was able to escape the rebels who had come to kill her family, but has her falling to a train platform and losing her memory while still in St. Petersburg. Ten years later, she winds up an amnesiac orphan, who is picked up by a pair of conmen to pose as Anastasia for reward money offered by Anastasia's grandmother, the Dowager Empress Marie; of course, none of them know that she is the true Anastasia. It's fairly easy to guess what happens next.br /br /The film follows a basic formula and includes the necessary romance, soul-seeking journey, and, of course, comically evil villain with equally comical sidekick. However, the way the story is presented is what makes it unique; the animation is fabulous and the heroine is intelligent and spunky. Some of the songs are fairly unremarkable, save the hauntingly beautiful "Once Upon a December" and the inspiring "Journey to the Past", but the score is beautifully well done. The plotline is strung together well and the romance is mature and believable.br /br /Most complaints that I've heard about this movie is that it's very much a fictitious story and that children are confused when their parents say it's true. However, that doesn't act as a critique for the movie or its creators, but rather for the parents who cannot coherently convey to their children the difference between fact and fiction. The filmmakers have created a beautiful journey from a tragic history, and while it's highly unlikely that this truly happened, it's nice to suspend disbelief for awhile and pretend that the princess does always live happily ever after.


5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Lovely   July 22, 2006

Looking back at all the childhood cartoon movies I had, I realize that Anastasia ranks among my favorites. It has a couple of faults, but I loved it and I still do.br /br /There are two primary faults to the movie. Firstly, the animation struggles at times with capturing particular human expressions. Secondly, it is not clever historical fiction because of the sacrifices it had to make over facts.br /br /However, I believe this movie to be greater than the sum of its parts. The songs were amazingly wonderful. The development between Anastasia and Dimitri pulls at heartstrings. The mystic Rasputin arouses the disdain only proper for a movie villian. This is altogether a wonderful movie I would like to own on DVD.

This movie has got to be my favorite childhood movie of all time. Although it is not historically accurate, the music, plot, and artistry behind this movie are nothing less of great. br /br /Many other reviewers dislike this movie because of its inaccuracy to history, but in reality... Disney's the Little Mermaid was not true to Hans Christian Anderson's story, nor was Aladdins or many others. Overall, if you want an entertaining story with romance, action, humor, great music, and a overall heart-felt theme (finding where you belong) then this movie is for you.
