    Editorial Reviews

    The first feature from the 20th Century-Fox animation unit in Phoenix, Arizona, this is the ninth film produced and directed by the Don Bluth/Gary Goldman duo (An American Tail) and the first animated feature to be made in CinemaScope since Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959). This $50 million animated fantasy retells the story of Anastasia, daughter of Czar Nicholas, beginning with her childhood in 1916 Russia. After Rasputin's curse on the Romanovs, little Anastasia is separated from her grandmother, the Dowager Empress Maria. After growing up in an orphanage, Anastasia emerges as a young woman called Anya. With no clear memory of her youth, Anya encounters entrepreneurs who seek an Anastasia look-alike in hopes of collecting a reward in Paris from the aged Dowager Empress. Despite demonic interference from Rasputin, the three travel to Paris where another problem awaits: the Dowager Empress is now skeptical of the parade of imposters. Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

    April 30, 2005: This is one of the best animated films of all time. The music is infectuous, the romantic banter between Anya and Dimitri is hilarious, and this movie is appealing to all ages (my dad loves it) and you'll find yourself watching it again and again. The real history behind the fall of the Romanovs: Rasputin was a "healer" of the Romanov's son, the heir to the Russian throne who suffered from hemophillia, and while creepy, he was murdered before the people's revolution. Actually, the movie got this part right (in a way); Rasputin died from drowning in an icy river after being stabbed, shot, and beaten. Czar Nicholas abdicated and he and his family exiled to a small house in Siberia where Nicholas, Alexandra, Olga, Tatiana, Marie, Anastasia, and Alexi lived until the order came through to have them all murdered. The unfortunate family was taken to the basement and told to stand for pictures, then shot by a firing squad and all but two (probably Anastasia and Alexi) were buried together near an old mine. The rumor that Anastasia had survived the Russian revolution was the insiration for this heartwarming tale. Though you won't learn any true history from this truly amazing film, it greatly deserves your attention.

    January 20, 2005: I am a 19 year old college student, and when I go to the video store I still look for and rent this movie. I love the plot, the music, and especially the building romance between Anastasia and Dimitri. If they turned this version of the Anastasia story into a stage production I would be in the front row on opening night!
