5 out of 5 stars awesome!!!   June 20, 2006
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

this is a traditional "disney musical" (though it was really done by fox) theres the hero (Anastasia) his or her sidekick (Vladimir and the dog) and the love interest (Dimitri) the girl and guy start hating each other but end up falling in love and of course the bad guy (Rasputin)....classic disney musicalbr /br /this show has REALLY catchy music which is greatly sung and orchestrated...so if u watch it as a disney musical is supposed to be watched (no background, not caring if it's corny at times etc.) then you will love it...if you overanalyze it by going into how it's not historically accurate you will not like this movie at all....but if u watch it like you would Cats or Lion King (because animals can't really sing and talk :P ) then you will ADORE this movie!!


5 out of 5 stars My favorite childhood story   June 3, 2006
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Anastasia was my favorite childhood movie. Naturally, I was delighted to learn more about the real Anastasia in my russian history class. After I had completed the class, I rewatched the disney Anastasia and saw that many things in the movie was based on real russian history- about St. Petersburgh, The palace, the romanovs, and even the the villian, Rasputin. True, it isn't all historically accurate, but definately a learning experience for the kids.


5 out of 5 stars I have to say something about the haters   May 12, 2006
~*~MESSAGE FOR THE GROWN UPS:~*~br /First of all, of course the grown ups know that this movie of Anastasia isnt the true story about what REALLY happened in real life. ITS A KIDS MOVIE--IF U DONT LIKE IT PLEASE MOVE ONTO SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE MORE ADULT-LIKE TO YOU. But anyway, though this movie is false, not like the real details of what really happened in the early 19 hundreds, this is a kids movie. I know the kids would probably question of the movie and compare or disagree with what really happen as they get older...that is the point. A movie like this will strive them into learning more and more in school so they ask questions to know what REALLY HAPPENED. Thats all i have to say. Anyone agree?br /br /~*~MESSAGE TO THE KIDS:~*~br /Enjoy the movie!!!


2 out of 5 stars Really disappointed   March 3, 2006
  3 out of 7 found this review helpful

That's the best way I can describe this film. Don Bluth created 2 films that I absolutely loved as a kid: An American Tail and Land Before Time(I still quote that "mother, what's a looooong neck?" line). So watching Anastasia you think, ooh, another one. Just too bad that's not the case since not only did they mess around a bit with history but it just smacks of trying to outdo Disney instead of just telling a good story.br /br /The film centers around Anastasia who escapes a siege in her castle. She loses her memory and becomes Anya and meets Dimitri, the grown up boy who saved her from the castle. He's been training would-be Anastasia's to collect prize money but he finds the real one and has to travel to Paris from Russia to reunite her with her grandmother.br /br /One of the most infamous mysteries in history, let alone Russian history, is what happened to Anastasia, the daughter of Czar Nicholas the 2nd. During the Revolution, Anastasia supposedly escaped and details are wild saying she was bayoneted many times, others say she went to Germany and became Anna Anderson which turned out to be false. The film says that not only did Anastasia survive but actually made it to Paris and all was well.br /br /It's a very interesting story with many ways to go about it but this is quite something. Unlike other films which takes creative liberties to make a better story/pacing, this film throws history out the window entirely. Not to fault the film for wanting to tell a fuller story but it's practically rewriting history. For starters, Rasputin didn't start the Revolution, Lenin did. And Rasputin was actually assasinated way before it began.br /br /What made other animated films that had musical numbers was that they were catchy. Here they seem kind of a hindrance, there's literally a moment where not even 2 minutes pass and we're "treated" to another song. It would be ok if they were memorable but I can't remember anything about them at this point.br /br /One thing that I can't fault the film on is the animation and voice acting. The animation for the most part works, especially backgrounds. Never did like the character designs though since they look kind of ugly, especially Anastasia. The voice acting is quite top notch though featuring Meg Ryan, John Cusack, Kelsey Grammar and Christopher Lloyd as well as Hank Azaria.br /br /If you want notable Bluth films, watch American Tail and Land Before Time but if you want check this film out too but I didn't enjoy it as much.


5 out of 5 stars A 7-year-old's review   February 21, 2006
This is a great movie, with even better songs! Whoever rated this movie one star was a complete jerk.
