gotta be honest tho, this movie has songs better than some of the Disney ones I've seen.
haha
Agreeded
I think that the movie is just a hopeful what-if especially that Anastasia's death in 1917 wasn't proven until 2008 and the movie is from 1997 so the producers didn't know if she survived
How come when Disney changes American history no one really cares, but Don Bluth taking the legend that Anastasia might have lived and make it have fantasy everyone freaks out.
I never said I wasn't offended by Disney changing history, I find that just as discomforting as this.
What movie have Disney done that with? They did it with Pocahontas and everyone hated it there even more than in this film
@@TequilaToothpick Mulan and hunchback of Notre dame are two that come to mind
Yeah i dont get it either
I think it’s the other way around. I NEVER hear anyone complain about Anastasia but did it plenty with Pocahontas.
The "What if" concept is very much like fan fiction. Quentin Tarantino did a "what if" for Inglorious Basterds.
And it was entertaining same with once upon a time in Hollywood
I loved this movie as a child and now. For me the movie is only trying to get people interested in finding out the history themselves not trying to tell the story as accurate as possible otherwise they would have called a documentary.
***** glad you agree.
+animem54 +HolyGrailPrincess I don't mind historical inaccuracy, it can be fun to create alternate timelines in movies. What I don't like is the idea of a movie sugarcoating and glamorising a real life tragedy, I find that to be uncomfortably tasteless. I'd be just as offended if Bluth tried to turn something like the Holocaust into a Disney musical.
+Jambareeqi true this movie may have been seen as sugarcoating the truth but we must also remember that this was also copying the disney formula at the time so sugarcoating was bound to show up.
I don't think you're understanding my point. I don't mind the truth being changed for a movie, what bothers me is that the film chose the sensitive subject of a real life tragedy to give a Disney treatment, I find that to be uncomfortably distasteful. It's like if someone tried to turn "The Diary of Anne Frank" into a whimsical fairytale.
***** I understand what you are saying but tragedy especially in kids movies will get downplayed( Pocahontas In real life was kidnapped at a young age and held hostage until she married John Rolfe). frankly im suprised they got aways with saying anyone died instead of them going "missing". Not saying give a break because of it but they could get with so much during that time. Also if the Titanic can get TWO horrible whimsical fairytale-there maybe be a horrible and tasteless diary of anne frank movie one day.
Anastasia is a childhood classic for me😀
Anastasia is perhaps one of my favorite animated movies, all the way back when I was a kid. To be honest, it seems a bit unfair that people accuse 20th Century Fox for taking a true , and even tragic, story and making it whimsical and fairy tale-like, when Disney has done the EXACT same thing. They did that with Pocahontas while people where blissfully unaware that the real one was actually 14 years old when she got married to Rolfe and eventually dies from tuberculosis. What a happy ending that is!
And unfortunately, I mush humbly disagree with your opinion on the romance part of it. Of coarse, it isn't the best I've ever seen done in a movie before, but I don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be. This also may be that I'm a woman with this opinion, and also with the fact I've seen FAR worst. Ever seen Romeo & Juliet; Seeled With A Kiss? Or how about every SINGLE hand-fisted, forced romance that came out of the bastardized Disney sequels? Or the disgusting love triangle of...Legend of Korra. *SHIVERS*
Although, on the plus side, I do agree with much of everything else you say, much to my dismay. I can admit that it's not at all perfect and that it does copy off Disney's format a bit. Although, I still find this more enjoyable than Pocahontas. lol
+TheDracoChick I do think Disney is distasteful for sugar coating American history, I reckon both "Anastasia" and "Pocahontas" are disrespectful to their source materials. I don't think the romance in "Anastasia" is the worst I've seen either (I have reviewed Sealed with a kiss and that's not the worst romance I've seen) but it's also not that original and draws attention away from the film's initial focus.
How is the love triangle in Legend of Korra disgusting?
It's not really disgusting as it's just cringy and predictable as all hell. I usually like them if they're done well, but the one in Legend of Korra really gets under my skin for a number of reasons. The main one is simply because it had little nothing to do with the plot and made the characters pretty unlikable to me. It caused Korra, who was mean't to be strong and progressively grow as a character, to be a whiny, melodramatic crybaby that's oh-so heartbroken about not ending up with the boring and bland Zuko wannabe. In my opinion, I felt the romance element was completely unnecessary, unless it was more subtle and used to build up chemistry between characters as opposed to creating out-of-place drama.
Also, I feel bad, I forgot to respond to Jambareeqi himself. Sorry, man... :(
I can see where you're coming from
The movie was great in my opinion. No one will ever change that
Great review! :) While this is one of my all time favourite movies, animated or otherwise, I'm not gonna pretend it's flawless, cos it's not. But I don't consider it to be as disrespectable as many consider it to be. This film is what caused me and many other people I know to research the Romanov family and their history. Since the schools never did. We were especially fascinated with the changes made. I think it's partly because some changes were making knowing nods to the real history. The more you do know, the more you can spot in the film, whether it be more obvious things such as how Rasputin is a massive caricature of what the Russian people thought of him at the time; For how bizarre he looked, the amazing medical feats he performed and how he was nearly impossible to kill. In the once "Upon of a december" dream sequence, they animated her little brother walking with a limp since he was a haemophiliac and at the time of the ball in her dream, he suffered a nasty fall and injured his leg. A lot of Anya's behaviour and mannerisms, such as her mischievous nature, sticking her tongue out, her close relationship to her dad, and a lot of the things recounted in the song "Learn to do it" were actual accounts of her life or the people in it. In the scene where Rasputin took over Anya's dream and tries to lure her off the ship, the reason for the use of butterflies is because her celling in her bedroom was decorated with them as a kid. Even the scene where she says to her grandmother about her sister Olga insulting the painting she did, saying "It looked like a pig riding a donkey" That happened too. Anastasia told her father about this in a letter she wrote to him and the picture they are actually looking at in the film is the real painting that the child Anastasia did. I own the (massive) art book of this film and they even include her child painting in it's first page. That and so, so much more that's in there!
While there were some historical strings pulled, it certainly tries much harder than Pocahontas or Titanic animated films ever did, which I really consider to be distasteful. Plus I think it was easier for this film to do this since this is more based around the legends and rumours that surrounded the family; like Anastasia surviving and Rasputin being a sorcerer etc.They didn't come into the film with inconsiderate intentions, but of course that doesn't mean the end result would reflect that. Maybe I'm coming at it from either a slight advantage or bias. 'Cos I can understand how it can come off as a more desperate attempt to be Disney, it really does try to be in some places. I mean the inclusion of that bloody puppy is one of the most eye-rolling for me, I'm surprised/relieved they didn't make it talk. So while you don't need to be aware of all these easter eggs to enjoy it, if people dislike it or are in any way offended by parts of the movie, they're defiantly justified to feel that way.
Yes, the Romanovs are my favorite part of history.
Rasputin in my opinion was a great villain and he did exist.
Cool girl 123 A few months ago made 100 years since he was killed. I think he was one of those people who have the best intentions but he ended up getting so many followers and enemies that he just didn't know what to do with his life anymore. I'm not blaming the Empress but every time someone told her he committed a public act of indecency, she would just say that it must've been someone who just happened to look like him. Not surprising since he was the only person who could literally save her son's life whenever he had a bleeding episode. These people would've been better off in today's world because Alexei's hemophilia would be a LOT more manageable.
I agree this movie IS like A Disney movie. Reminds me an awful lot like Tangled.Boy meets girl,they don't get along,they later fall in love,girl finds out she is the long lost princess.
WOW.. YOU'RE SO CLEVER ARE YOU NOT ?
So, Tangled copied this movie?
You might appreciate the stage musical. It still has Anya and Dimitri's romance (though fleshed out), but does cut out a lot of the superstitious elements, stays respectful to the timeline of Anastasia's actual age (had she survived), and the new villain is a communist soldier who is trying to execute any royalty or members of court who are still alive in Russia.
Now that should have been the villain for the don booth film resputan is way off and doesnt fit at all ruins the realism of the movie
This movie changed my life. R.I.P. to the Romanov Family. #GodSaveTheTsar
Since this movie was my first cinematic experience, I could never dislike it. Even if I am aware that it is flawed. But I don't really blame Don Bluth for making a true story into a fairy tail, since Disney did the same with Pocahontas and kinda with Mulan.
I really like the spinoff that they made off it called Bartok the Magnificent!
It's actually my favorite animated film.
Might I recommend something to you? There's a version of Anastasia that came out in the 50s or 60s. It's almost the same story except no Rasputin, no songs, and stars Yule Brenner.
MAnuscript421 Yul Brynner was the only good thing about that movie!
Marvel's What If presents "What If Anastasia Survived?"
I loved this video. I love Anastasia
This may be a bit late, nevertheless *great review!* It's balanced, detailed and informative. Though the movie take liberties on the content, at least it wasn't as disrespectful as the three Titanic animated movies.
You should review the sequel. It's not terrible!
I know this is an old comment but this movie never got a sequel but it did get a spin off starring Bartok
Flawed but still good, I agree.
I always knew this wasn’t Disney, but some people who find that out later in life are shocked. “It isn’t Disney?!?” My friends day ALL THE TIME when I tell them.
Fantastic review as always. I never new the cast for this movie was that good
whenever i think of Rasputin i think of Hacker
this review doesn't make much sense
It did to me. Wyatt exactly confused you?
Do you know the reason behind the movies making??
That's what I'm wondering.
Obviously you have to put aside the historical aspects of the film that are only told briefly within the opening 5 minutes.
If you were to make a family movie out of what was a tragic historical event, Don Bluth and Goldman did the best they could and I loved the film as a teenager at the time as a result.
I love Aladdin, and you're right I also enjoy Anastasia
At least the movie gets people to research the actual event it’s set around
Any film can misrepresent history and ask the audience to do their own research, that's not really an achievement. If anything, it's relinquishing responsibility.
Fun Fact:
Aaliyah did an R&B version of Journey to the Past
Anastasia isnt accurate....
Gee who would of thought Disney where animals can talk would be for accuracy. I for one loved the movie as a kid, and didnt bother me
Can you review Don Bluth's Titan A.E? :D
Already have, you can find a review of it on my channel :)
***** Heh... whoops. ^_^; I saw it. I'm glad you enjoyed both Treasure Planet and Titan A.E. Watched both of those movies three times! o.o
I love this movie but i have to agree 100% about Rasputin. He doesn't really fit in the movie. I think the movie would totally work without him.
Maybe he could be just an evil force at the beginning (like the enchantress from Beauty and the Beast). That would have been enough for me.
In the movie, Anya never remembers him, has no relationship with him and is not bothered by him until the very end. Meanwhile, Rasputin is obsessed with her, which only makes him seem kind of silly and not threatening at all.
Love this film since I was a kid.I liked the voice acting and the story. Was a fan of Meg Ryan since I was a kid. I subscribed to your channel. Are you British?
+Disney65Fan Yes, as British as Fish & Chips xD
Have you ever wanted to do a review of The Swan Princess?
+Will Lyon fans.vote/v/ACl6PhtAX0I
Could you maybe to a review of Into the Woods movie?
+Will Lyon Maybe one day :)
hi there buddy, there an animated film you never heard of it based on a book call the three robbers . "but in germen it die drei rauber, the film was made in 2007 , so as a request may you pleas review it, as a request pleas
+Bianca Grottolo I'll keep it in mind :)
:)
I love it especially anya and demitri
My favorite history film has to be Lincoln by Steven Spillberg
Will there be a "Titan after earth" review?
+Shoter Aredein Already done one
that quick review? Now I found it and saw it.
Good quickie. And you got the good point in comparing "Titan A.E." with "Guardians of the galaxy". I would add, that "Guardians of the galaxy" feels like the light/"diet" version of "Titan A.E." Because they have space theme and humanity/ universe saving plot.
And yes, it may be like "The fifth element", because the movie showed a lot of sci-fi technology and with awesome cinematic scenes, like chase scenes and romantic moments.
And going back to one thing. Wanted to add couple things about full rotoscoping. I like when animators do follow rules that make their characters look and behave like real people.
I don't like goofy looking characters whose faces and bodies look drastically disproportioned. You may not believe me, but even in deep childhood, I liked difficult realistic animation much more than simple animation.
Sadly, many animated movies look like joke. "Despicable me", "Home" or that "Hotel Transylvania". Even, "inside-out" movie with interesting plot has those unrealistic human models.
I may like animation style if it looks aesthetical. For example, "The Lion king" and "Silveverwing" animation. The characters may look very styled, but you can see to what species the character are related to. It's not when "Despicable me" has humans, that have few to non basis of the their skeleton. They don't share the common skeleton basis.
Remember "Code Lyoko"? The characters were not so realistic. But they shared common skeleton basis. add that everyone had bigger forehead.
I better write better edited text describing the realism aesthetic. Because Right now I see it may take a long time. Your opinion on graphics were very close to my opinion. It is very rare to me, so I wrote it all because I sympathized your opinion.
+Shoter Aredein I like realistic animation but it does have it's setbacks and sometimes makes me beg the question "Why not just do a live action movie instead?". Exaggerated and disproportionate characters with elastic movement justifies the animation more to me.
***** One thing why realistic animation for me: It shows high skill level of animation.
Another thing: For example. Imagine live action "Titan A.E.". Some alien races will be actors in costumes. Other alien races would be CGI. Can you imagine how much resources it would require to make it look good?
I think, there would be only re-colored humans like in "Guardians of the galaxy".
And can you imagine Stith being CGI next to its crew?
I think, realistic animation can optimize the visual look of the movie.
Because CGI would look good if everything would be CGI.
To blend CGI with live action with good result, requires a lot of resources and skill.
Don Bluth didn't had so much resources like James Cameron had with his "Avatar". And look at the difference of date release. They had different technology level. And Cameron's avatars still look very humane rather than cat like. I think it's because we wouldn't recognize the actors under a lot of CGI effects. Because how actors would get more fame if they would play the characters who look much much more distant from humans.
It means we would never get CGI Stith.
+Shoter Aredein I can see where you're coming from, I guess it depends on how the film utilizes the realistically animated characters. I wouldn't say that realistic animation is the only style that shows high skill level though, other styles can be just as impressive and take just as much painstaking talent. It depends on the execution.
I actually agree with you on this movie. It’s not as good as people say, but it’s not bad, it’s just average.
I just subscribed:)
I love that movie!
+BooBop1987 Me too Rebecca.
Sweet Cool!
You know, every time I hear Once upon a December, I have two thoughts about this movie:
1. this tragic real-life historical setting is quite universal not only to a western audience but also to an Eastern audience who have the same kind of historical semi-tragedy ingrained into their national memory. Take the 1984 movie the last emperor or how in Chinese we say "末代皇帝”. Disney or Don Bluth could have made this movie about the emperor child Puyi and make him sing this kind of nostalgic and yet tragic melody.
2. when you look at this movie from the Post Soviet Russian audience's response to this movie, you can see that just like the rest of the international box office ratings, they liked it very much, even though they already knew that the American side would never be able to really give a genuine depiction of neither Tsarist society(emph,, An American Tail) and the Communist Era's ascension and eventual decline.
This is my point of view from seeing this movie as a child, what do you think Jambareeqi?
According, to this movie the Communist revolution happened because Rasputin cast a spell. Yeah I'm from Jewish background, I had family who were in Russia during this time who fought very hardly to get rid of that Czar. They did it due to the injustice the Czar put the Jewish people through, not cause the Rasputin cast a spell.
My favorite is Selma.Disturbing but powerful film. Check it out!
I can't deny that the animation is gorgeous and well-done, but then, what else to expect with a Don Bluth film? I didn't hate the film but I'd have liked it to have toned down the number of tropes and cliches, like the bully who rules the orphanage, protagonist forgets past, con-artist turned good, male and female lead fall for one another, long-lost princess, spunky and sassy and good-intentions girl that's also hot, cute animal sidekick that comes literally out of no-where and so forth.
Thing is, I wish that they removed the fantasy element and instead simply did the Russian Revolution how it was and continued with the "what if" story. The love story.... ehhhh I didn't care for it at all. Frankly, I did actually enjoy Anastasia but especially once she begins her journey with the other characters at around the time the train crashes her character just feels like all the spunk is gone. I really liked her in the first act, like how she's talking to herself outside the orphanage. I wish she had more scenes alone because after the first act it felt like it wasn't really focused on her anymore. Probably just me on that account. Also, I really didn't like how, at the same time, it felt like the universe was centred around Anastasia.
I love the albino bat though.
will you ever review tv shows?
+JHPlushvids No, I'm happy to review single episodes but full shows take too much time to review
***** so you might review a couple episodes of gravity falls?
+JHPlushvids 96 Next year I might
***** ok
I love Bartok
Because I liked the characters a lot, I just went with the movie. It wasn't until I rewatched the movie twice, was when I realized that plot is very weak. But its characters, animation, and music make it strong. Seriously, the first song in this movie was in my head for weeks.
I really can't stand how so many ytube movie reviewers copy Nos. Critic's style.
How am I copying NC's style in this video? It's a non-linear and straight analytical review, with no comedic riffing. I have no interest in imitating Nostalgia Critic, I want to do my own thing.
Okay, you're right I didn't look into it enough. I had just found this one video after coming across like 2 other vids that copied his style, saw the intro to yours, and figured you were doing the same thing. But yeah, you didn't do what he did, sorry about that.
Whoever got it into their head to make a sympathetic story, and an animated musical one at that, about the Romanovs must of been off their heads. True, the Bolsheviks weren't much of a replacement, but bloody hell; the only good monarchy is an overthrown one.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the movie either. Songs are good, characters are memorable, but the plot could've been fleshed out a bit more and seems a little underdeveloped and the historical inaccuracies are a little much
The problem with Anastasia's historical inaccuracies is that they were basically cold war propaganda based on the 1950ies movie also produced by Fox studios. Also throw in some "monarchies are perfect" from Disney's fairy tale adaptation and you get yourself a complete mess of a story.
Anastasia age was changed to make her more appealing to audiences. Rasputin died on December 30th 1916, long before the Romanovs were killed and had himself no association with their murders or their helpers. Also for some reason Rasputin looks actually like those awful Jewish caricatures from 1930s Germany. This guy was a Russian orthodox monk and looked scary enough with changing his looks. Ironically, a good of Anastasia's story in this movie is actually based on the live of Rasputin's daugther Maria whose husband Boris tried to scam people with an Anastasia imposter.
Which leads me to Lenin's most important helpers who were glossed over because of the pro-monarchy sentiments of this movie. The thing is, the people pulling their strings behind Lenin were the Prussian nobilities, with the emperor of Prussia and Germany being Wilhelm II, himself a very close relative to both of Anastasia's parents. Cousin to her mother and both granduncle and cousin to her father if I remember correctly. His motive? He felt insulated because the tsar refused to send him Russian troops during WW I after Wilhelm II kept getting millions of his own troops killed.
Therefore the Prussian nobilities proposed to idea to ship Lenin from Vienna to Moskow by train so he could kill the tsar, install a new government and send the Russian troops to Wilhelm II. There weren't any protesters marching through the main entrance as shown in the movie. In fact, Lenin and his group just quietly entered through the back door because nobody expected them. After all, the Prussian nobilities had visited the tsar numerous times and the knew the outline pretty well so they could tell Lenin how he could sneak in. But again, let's change historical facts for drama. Albeit I have yet so see a single movie portraying that part even remotely accurate. Mostly because every single movie about the Romanovs relies on a monarchy=good, peasants=evil mentality whereas the history is very gray and revolutionaries walking in through the back door is too anti-climatic.
The movie relies so much on painting the nobility as perfect and peasants as evil, the pretty much had to rewrite the entire history and that could have been avoided if they hadn't tried to replicate the Disney fairy tale formula with a historical person.
sorry but "He (Wilhelm II) felt insulated because the tsar refused to send him Russian troops during WW I after Wilhelm II kept getting millions of his own troops killed"??? You do know that in world war one Germany was fighting AGAINST Russia?!?! They were literal enemies, why would they send troops to eachother?!?!?
@@yardriapublica6493 Nope, that was WW II. Russia wasn't really involved in WWI. Also don't forget that all the nobles in Europe were first cousins, changing sides in a war depending on which relative you get along or didn't get along with wasn't that weird.
Google it. Wilhelm II wanted the czar to ally with him and the later refused. Making both Wilhelm II and his fellow Prussian nobles so furious that they decided to get czar and his family killed. Again, Prussian nobles had been extremely brutal and violent before, even for the standards for European nobility who set the bar very high. In fact, the same Prussian nobles who thought installing communism in Russia was a bright idea, also supported Hitler and had him put in a position of power. The very same people or in some cases their sons.
Nowadays these Prussian nobles have the audacity to demand billions of reparations from the German government. The descendants of the guys who invented communism now identify as communist victims and demand money from the descendants of the common people they violently oppressed for centuries.
Nicolas' death had always been a staple of anti-socialist propaganda, the fact that it was orchastred by other nobles didn't fit very well with this propaganda and is therefore completely glossed over. What is also often ignored, is the fact that the Russian csar himself killed over a million people and was himself one of the most violent rulers in history. World history to be exact, because only few rulers actually managed to kill over a million people. His high killing count was probably the reason he got along with Wilhelm who was sort of both his uncle and his cousin at the same time. Nikolas and his wife were also insanely closely related. Making the happy noble family propaganda this movie tries to pull of even weirder.
Portraying Nicolas as the murder he had been doesn't fit with the noble, innocent victim narrative western right-wingers adore so much.
@@jolly_39 Mate. What are you on about?
"Russia wasn't really involved in WWI". Only if losing 1.8 million troops is "not really involved".
Russia was a key player in the war to the point that, if there hadn't been a eastern front, the Central Powers would have probably won
and to think that you have the audacity to suggest I "Google it"
Google this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Front_(World_War_I)
or this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire#War,_revolution,_and_collapse
or even just this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_Revolution
When I was a kid I use to watch this movie a lot. But now that I'm older it really doesn't hold up along side movies such as Space Jam and the Land before time sequels. Except for the characters there decent.
I'm with you. I can't really praise this movie as much as everyone else does, but I guess I can't be too hard on it, considering that all of Bluth's previous movies of the decade flopped. Yes, the subject matter is uncomfortable, and I do question some of the alterations, but it was given the green light to be distributed in Russia under the alias of having the "what-if" fantasy element. Yes, some of the contemporary descendants of the royal family were offended, but others were okay with it.
And yes, it feels it's trying too hard to be Disney (not surprising considering several Disney workers left the studio to make this). Plus while having them travel to France instead of Denmark to meet the dowager empress sort of makes sense, since that's where most Russian fugitives at the time were fleeing to, it feels more like an excuse to indulge in every French stereotype in the book.
Oh well, I guess I can commend this movie for what it does well. Although in my opinion, 'The Prince of Egypt' was a much better example of a movie that tries to use Disney-sequel vibes to tell a very serious story, resorting to historical references with some made-up Hollywood trends, and touching people on a more emotional, adult level. But then again, the movie was banned from Muslim countries across the globe, including Egypt (mastery because it violates their laws of having no visual portrayals of God). So what do I know?
I wonder how many Russians did Don Bluth offended. O_O
+Leonardo Juan Hey, Don Bluth also made An American Tail, which was about a Russian mouse boy whose family immigrates to America to flee from persecution by Cossack cats.
sakuraslicer19
Oh yeah. O-O
+Leonardo Juan As far as I know russians actually loved the movie: the fact that it was advertised less as an historical movie and more as a magical adventure based on a "what if" fact about their history did the trick, from what I got.

Well I'll be Dam. :P
Anastasia is perhaps one of my favorite animated movies, all the way back when I was a kid. To be honest, it seems a bit unfair that people accuse 20th Century Fox for taking a true , and even tragic, story and making it whimsical and fairy tale-like, when Disney has done the EXACT same thing. They did that with Pocahontas while people where blissfully unaware that the real one was actually 14 years old when she got married to Rolfe and eventually dies from tuberculosis.
