if there's one, I'll definitely be there 😍 or how about a fantasy ball in a castle, running around the garden barefoot in your gown, the trees glowing, running through a small river and then into the woods... omg, I might be onto something here
This is so nostalgic, hearing this at a really young age, I was totally entranced by it- it is so somber and moving. Very sad and longing yet intriguing and compelling of visions of what once was and who might have then been, yet you not ever having the chance to go back and experience those things makes it very sad and mysterious.
Yeeees, I love listening to this... I think of all the balls I never went, the dances I never danced, people I never met... everything I've never lived and never will
Yeeees, I love listening to this... I think of all the balls I never went, the dances I never danced, people I never met... everything I've never lived and never will
i'm getting goosebumps listening to this while reading articles about the romanov family. how sweet, magical, and light this is to the ears. how dark, terrible, and horrifying is their story in my eyes.
yeah its true.. I've seen documentaries about their lives... but I feel I mostly blame the Czar Nicholas cause his monarchy and way of ruling was denounced as evil.. thats why people made a revolution on them.. poor of his children who had to suffered as well :( but there are still relatives of them alive and married to other royal families on other countries..
I completely agree. The movie brings a hauntingly beautiful perspective on the whole situation even if it's not completely different. May they rest in peace
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. may peace and calmness fill your life.
Аминь! Вы даже не представляете, как я сейчас себя легко почувствовала, прочитав ваше послание. Я верю, что с Нового года моя жизнь изменится кардинально. Я обрету крылья, скинув со своей шеи тех, кто сел на нее и не хочет слезать.💞💞💞 Благодарю вас, незнакомец.🙏❤
My husband finds it odd but am I the only one who get lost in time reading so many priceless comments in great vids like this? Some make me laugh, some are informative and a bunch of them make me feel emotional or connected to yall in some way!
My grandmother was named Anastasia. In Greek it means resurrection. If I think about her, this music fits very well with her life of giving and loving. She made a lot of sacrifices in order for her kids and grandchildren to grow further. I miss her and with this music I can picture the beautiful moments more easily. Thank you
It's a beautiful assumption but unfortunately Anastasia Romanova was killed with her family. And Grigory Rasputin was a good person, a friend of family Romanov and he was poisoned and then shot by Felix Yusupov.
@@alousna I'm very sorry to tell you but Grigory Rasputin was not a good person, at all, he intentionally grew his reputation as a magical healer throughout the peasant population because he knew he would eventually get the attention of the Russian Royalties, and just like that Nicholas's wife, Alexandra Feodorovna acknoledged his reputation as a magic healer and so he was allowed to be around the Fomanovs in the palace they lived in ( The Alexander palace, which by the way has the ballroom that Anastasia dances in the movie, very gorgeous indeed ), it was reported that Rasputin may have robbed some medicine from doctors in secret, but he's one of the biggest reasons the people of Russia back then really hated the Royalty ( Not excluding their big loss in the Russo-Japanese War and WWI which makes it MUCH MUCH worse ) In conclusion with some of the Historic information I have been gathering for some weeks now ( that I DO NOT assume that it's 100% factual ), I hereby charge Rasputin as very guilty, lol
This brings me back fond memories of my trip to Saint Petersburg, Russia last December 2019. I'll never forget my first real experience of winter and snow, the ornate palaces and churches, the pristine streets, nice people, even the imperial tombs of Russian czars and czarinas where the famous Romanov family were also laid. I would love to come back again someday and explore more of the beautiful city of Saint Petersburg.
As an American, I'm a little intimidated by Russia and hesitate to visit, but that actually sounds quite wonderful!! I'd love to experience what you did. :)
Anastasia is literally my comfort character, her real story is so heartbreaking when you know that’s in reality she was killed in cold hand in 1917 you heard the song, the film in whole different way. It’s just so sad, every time I imagine her afraid, with her family. if there is one thing I would never happen in the past it’s the Romanov tragedy
@@winonaib2228 In fact, in the same revolution of 1917 (in which the Romanovs were overthrown), there were even worse cases. How many children were burned alive by the White Army (an armed formation with an anti-Soviet movement) and it's scary to think. So the execution of the royal family (considering that the youngest of the daughters, Anastasia, was already 17, and her son was 13) does not seem such a nightmare compared to everything else. Sorry for the mistakes, I don't speak English well.
Haha I actually feel that too. If you want to feel emotional, I recommend 'When the World Caves In' and 'Exist for Love', they have been my favorites recently
I'll be honest and say that I am not familiar with her story and I have never seen this movie. This video was suggested because I've been listening to a lot of background music while studying. The music here is so lovely and now I know that if I watch this movie I will probably feel sad because I am such an emotional person and will likely be affected by her story.
@@IndieCindy3 It's honestly one of my favourite Disney movies, though the animation is a little older. I'd recommend not looking up the origin if you think it'd upset you too much, but the cartoon is of course slightly different and definitely a good watch. It's funny, romantic, and incredibly heartwarming. At least it is in my opinion. I watched it again after hearing this and yeah, I cried a couple of times though, lmao.
You can't NOT cry when hearing all these musical scores. The wind gustling after each piece. It's so eerie. They're simply masterpieces! You get transported into another realm. It's unexplainable. That's how powerful it is.
Dancing Bears Painted Wings Things I almost remember. And a song someone sings Once upon a December. Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully across my memory. Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully across my memor

Greetings from Moscow, we are very glad to see you) I am very glad that we still have the opportunity to plunge into times similar to the site with Anastasia. Берегите себя 💞
Это не анимационный персонаж а настоящая КНЯЖНА АНАСТАСИЯ РОМАНОВА. ВСЮ ИХ СЕМЬЮ РАССТРЕЛЯЛИ БОЛЬШЕВИКИ. P.S. переведите пожалуйста чтобы все увидели перевод.
Anastasia is one of my mother’s favorite movies of all time. She showed this to us when me and my sister was younger- I’m 18 now and I’m in awe with the movie. I could care less of how historically innacurate it is, it never fails to make me smile when I watch it. I have a feeling this movie will be on repeat when I’m in college in four weeks, thank you mom for showing me this movie 🖤 ( don’t worry she’s not dead but I am just thankful she showed it )
I always thought Anastasia was my favorite "Disney" princess lol my bad. But really, this had some serious impact. I remember doing a research as soon as I learned that she was a real person.
Fun fact: While the Romanovs were under house arrest by the Bolsheviks, Anastasia opened a window, and when a guard shot at her (and missed) she stuck her tongue out at him before closing it once more.
Anastasia is officially a Disney princess now and I am so psyched because she is my favorite too!! And I have done a lot of research into her life too, lol
Анастасия не принцесса Диснея, а русская царевна, то есть дочь российского царя. В нашей стране другие титулы. Безусловно, это реальная историческая персона, но к персонажу этого фильма, Анастасия не имеет отношения)) сюжет фильма студии Дисней - это выдумка.
I truly hoped everyone got the watch the broadway musical for Anastasia. The production is stunning, and the lines and lyrics of each song just hits you hard
I've seen.both and both are great, but they elininated the more fantatic elements for the stage-- eliminated Rasputin & bat and "in the dark of the night." More realistic.
@@christophercoleman6596 ... Huh. I always felt that the fact that the movie skipped over basically their entire trip in one song but had room for the nonsense that was Rasputin was it's biggest failing. Then again, given the target audience and the subject matter, I can sort of see why they did that. Doesn't change my opinion though. Did the changes improve it?
When i was a kid, i used to think that i was like Anastasia, i always dream about a castle and a beauty dress, the phantoms dancing always enchanted me, it’s extraordinary forever to me :)
In reality, medieval castles are drafty and cold, especially at night. They require lot of heating and high maintenance. Stairs are arduous journeys. My ancestors had lived in castles, before they were demolished by Olivier Cromwell and his troops.
@@Noname_404_ My ancestors fought for many centuries and lost many castles and lands. They lost too their aristocracy a few centuries ago. I still have their surname, a warrior clan. A real castle is a building with a fortress. Without a fortress, a building cannot be called a castle. A small humble house with a fortress can be a castle, while a palace without a fortress isn't a castle. A castle is meant to keep out invaders or warring enemy clans.
When I was little my mom used to have to put this movie on for me so I could fall asleep to the music, and eventually our vhs copy wore out. Thanks for this alternative ☺️💛💛💛
it's an incredible old story behind this tune, it's about a man's love for a woman who lived far away he felt in his heart that the two of them belonged to each other but she did not realize it until it was too late 🙂
Мир музыки, разнообразной, волшебной красоты, мощи и темперамента, лёгкой и весёлой, всякой. А вот цепляет и душа влюбляется только в своё, родное. Это вот оно самое и есть! Судьбе спасибо за эту встречу!
In Mongolia most students sit together for many years (maybe even 12 years). So last year students dance waltz with their seatmates to once upon a december during school's new year party. Some girls got emotional and cried during that dance. Maybe because most of them have been together for a decade. After graduation they will separate ways and become busy. They realize that they're running out of time to have fun with their friends. So this song holds a special memory of students of my generation.
Es sorprendente, ayer me vi Anastasia en Ruso y llevo tatareando en mi mente todas las canciones donde, todo el día. Hoy me encuentro con esta maravilla. Soy español, pero rusofilo, ruso en el alma y amo a Rusia, su cultura, arte, tradición, su historia y geografía. He visto Anastasia miles de veces, en Español, Inglés, Francés y ahora Ruso y cada vez me asombra más la calidad de este extraordinario film que es una obra de arte mayúscula. Cada vez que visiono la película, descubro lecturas nuevas y guiños artísticos y culturales sobre la vida e historia de los Romanov y la Rusia Imperial. Voy a cumplir 50 años y siento un vínculo único con todo ello ❤.
I don't know why or how to even explain why I feel such a deep connection to this music... it's painful but so full of love and beauty, it's really hard to find words to describe what goes on with me when I hear this, I added it to my favorites ❤
Как узор на окне Снова прошлое рядом, Кто-то пел песню мне В зимний вечер когда-то. Словно в прошлом ожило Чьих-то бережных рук тепло, Вальс изысканных гостей И бег лихих коней. Вальс кружил и нёс меня, Словно в сказку свою маня, Первый бал и первый вальс Звучат во мне сейчас. Зеркала в янтаря Мой восторг отражают, Кто-то пел на заре Дом родной покидая. Будешь ты в декабре Вновь со мной дорогая….
I didn't know I needed a video on the ambiance and music of this film until learnt that this video existed. This film, though wildly inaccurate, made me research the real story as a child. The ambiance and music is so beautiful.
This is absolutely beautiful! I love this movie and its Broadway show counterpart. This music just took all the songs I love from the movie and ran with them! I've never been much of a fan of some of the 90's instruments like the electric keyboard so hearing these songs in more traditional and beautiful instruments just melts my soul!
To everyone here listening to this awesome relaxing music, If you are feeling down today, remember this: Life its like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs but in the end it will always be worth it. Don’t give up! We believe in you!
Quartet at the Ballet... that whole scene was stunning, and how they intertwined the different characters' perspectives with Swan Lake is incredible! Wish I could play in the pit orchestra for this musical.
Will forever be a song I'm never going to forget and stop loving. When I saw this my eyes literally wanted to jump out my sockets. My brain jiggled. My heart stopped. Thank you so much for this
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
This song feels like a mysterious Deja Vu. I remember when I was little and I saw this movie for the first time, I had this feeling like I must have had an experience like Anastasia in the past...
the more you play it, the more emotional impact it has on seeing their faces, and feeling the frailty and brevity of this life. Yet also the power of love and this gift of life, for whatever time we have here.
Me too. The fact that it is the instrumental composite of "Journey to the Past" is chef's kiss. It gives a meaning that the "Journey" has come full circle after finally meeting her grandmother.
Brings back the memories, when I worked on the animated version of this movie. Working with Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and the best of the diverse crew is what I miss the most
I feel like the work you all put in was painfully underappreciated! Thank you for what you did, as it impacted so many people, and interested many in researching history and thinking more deeply about the spins put onto stories to make them more palatable. ❤️
@@wendy645 думаю, историю лучше изучать по историческим документам, книгам, учебникам, но не по мультфильмам... 🙄. В этом фильме "Анастасия" 90% выдумки, неправы. У реальной персоны, дочери российского царя Николая, была другая судьба.
My name is Anastasia. I was named after the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II. And this is my most favorite cartoon, though I'm starting to cry every time I watch it. Right now I feel goosebumps 😪 No wonder the last royal family was canonized as passion bearers... their fate is so tragic and terribly unfair. If only they could flee from the regime... I like to think that they could lead a happy life somewhere in US or Europe.
Вы моя тезка, не думала, что за границей до сих пор так популярна тема последних Романовых. Как человек родившийся и выросший в России, которого на протяжении 11 лет заставляли учить историю своей страны могу с уверенностью утверждать, что при желании Николай 2 мог с легкостью покинуть Российскую Империю, еще в те времена когда был правителем, судьбы его предшественников явно давали понять, что монархия не продержится долго, но он был обратного мнения и отказался от престола только когда, грубо говоря, его приперли к стенке, а кризис в стране поднялся настолько высоко, что народные волнения уже было невозможно подавить. А когда чету Романовых сослали в дальнюю резиденцию, охрана, или скорее даже надзиратели не особо следили за своими заключенными, и они могли без особых усилий сбежать. Николай 2 до последнего надеялся, что сможет вернуться на престол, поэтому и не предпринимал попыток эмиграции в соседние страны. Так же усложняло ситуацию то, что его младший сын Алексей страдал гемофилией. Как то так получается. Мультфильм и реальная история значительно разнятся между собой. А смерть у них действительно была страшной. Пошли делать фотографию для газеты, а по итогу всех расстреляли в подвале, столько следов от пуль в стенах осталось, страшно представить, насколько мучительно они умирали.
@@nastavetrova5427 Я тоже родилась и выросла в России, но сейчас живу за границей)) Да, я в курсе реальной истории и знаю, что безграничный патриотизм и оптимизм (если это можно так назвать) Николая II в конечном итоге привел как его самого, так и всю его семью к столь ужасной смерти. От того вдвойне жаль, что все вышло именно так.
Эх, мне 28, но я все еще пересматриваю этот мультфильм. В детстве на кассете просто затерли с братом. Даже сейчас захотелось тряхнуть стариной, хоть он и по-детски наивный, гиперболизированный и исковерканный местами в отношении истории России и царской семьи, но есть в нем эти злободневные проблемы и что-то родное. И ах, боже, этот Дмитрий, чертовски горячий мужчина, до сих пор так считаю! Р.S. Эта музыка воспринимается по-другому, когда смотрел мультик в русском дубляже, этот мягкий напев старой императрицы звучит в моей голове.
Лет в 70 скажете тряхнуть сториной а сейчас судя по комментарию Вам 30 я на 10 лет старше Вас тем не менее старушкой себя не считаю а уж в 30 лет тем более.
Ive listened to this playlist throughout my entire bachelor's studies. It makes studying so much easier and more picturesque 😌 thanks for helping sit my butt down and get stuff done!

wow me as an adopted kid from russia crying at this comment this was so beautifully said
Small fact: at many Russian school proms students dance a waltz to this music
For real?😭that’s so cool I love it
When I was in school the dance music was always similar to this. I miss it 🥺

For real. Once Upon a December is actually really depressing if you think about it. It's still a gorgeous song, just very sad
😔 such tragic death
It’s horrible what happened to the Romanov family
♥
@@dorisbilley8991 no it wasnt
I swear, whenever I watch the scene where she dances among the ghosts and sings Once Upon a December I get chills. Great playlist!

This is poetic. I'm yet to read their story but I heard their death was terrible.
To everyone who is trying to heal from emotional trauma. We are in this together. Sending lots of loves. We can do it.
I want a musicbox that recorded Once Upon a December😭😭😭
I remember watching Anastasia almost every day when I was young so this is super nostalgic for me:’)

Same! I watched it sooo much when I was a child, I still have the DVD :)
Same when i was younger i used to watch it every day non stop

I truly hoped everyone got the watch the broadway musical for Anastasia. The production is stunning, and the lines and lyrics of each song just hits you hard
I've seen.both and both are great, but they elininated the more fantatic elements for the stage-- eliminated Rasputin & bat and "in the dark of the night." More realistic.
@@christophercoleman6596 ... Huh. I always felt that the fact that the movie skipped over basically their entire trip in one song but had room for the nonsense that was Rasputin was it's biggest failing. Then again, given the target audience and the subject matter, I can sort of see why they did that. Doesn't change my opinion though. Did the changes improve it?
It was beautiful
I saw it on Broadway. I actually like some of the changes they made from the film.
I had no idea it was on Broadway!!
When i was a kid, i used to think that i was like Anastasia, i always dream about a castle and a beauty dress, the phantoms dancing always enchanted me, it’s extraordinary forever to me :)
In reality, medieval castles are drafty and cold, especially at night. They require lot of heating and high maintenance. Stairs are arduous journeys. My ancestors had lived in castles, before they were demolished by Olivier Cromwell and his troops.
Тоже самое ♥️
@@pinklady7184
Wow...
@@Noname_404_ My ancestors fought for many centuries and lost many castles and lands. They lost too their aristocracy a few centuries ago. I still have their surname, a warrior clan. A real castle is a building with a fortress. Without a fortress, a building cannot be called a castle. A small humble house with a fortress can be a castle, while a palace without a fortress isn't a castle. A castle is meant to keep out invaders or warring enemy clans.

It's just unbelievable💔
I've always dreamed of visiting such a place and seeing it with my own eyes
✨ It's unbelievable
When I was little my mom used to have to put this movie on for me so I could fall asleep to the music, and eventually our vhs copy wore out. Thanks for this alternative ☺️💛💛💛
it's an incredible old story behind this tune, it's about a man's love for a woman who lived far away he felt in his heart that the two of them belonged to each other but she did not realize it until it was too late 🙂
Мир музыки, разнообразной, волшебной красоты, мощи и темперамента, лёгкой и весёлой, всякой. А вот цепляет и душа влюбляется только в своё, родное. Это вот оно самое и есть! Судьбе спасибо за эту встречу!
👍👏👏👏👏👏
I would LOVE a 6-10 hour version of this!!!
save it on a new list with only this one video and press repeat.
If on a computer, right click the video image and left click 'loop'
Hey you. Yes you. random person that I will never meet. I truly hope that you will find happiness in life. Today is going to be a great day
thanks babe
I hope the same happiness to you
I hope happiness and love fills your life also, such a simple but beautiful message thank you
In Mongolia most students sit together for many years (maybe even 12 years). So last year students dance waltz with their seatmates to once upon a december during school's new year party. Some girls got emotional and cried during that dance. Maybe because most of them have been together for a decade. After graduation they will separate ways and become busy. They realize that they're running out of time to have fun with their friends. So this song holds a special memory of students of my generation.
you know hearing once upon a demember without the words and knowing about the tragic event, it feels more ghostly to me.
THIS.
@@el6563 Thank you.
Es sorprendente, ayer me vi Anastasia en Ruso y llevo tatareando en mi mente todas las canciones donde, todo el día. Hoy me encuentro con esta maravilla. Soy español, pero rusofilo, ruso en el alma y amo a Rusia, su cultura, arte, tradición, su historia y geografía.
He visto Anastasia miles de veces, en Español, Inglés, Francés y ahora Ruso y cada vez me asombra más la calidad de este extraordinario film que es una obra de arte mayúscula.
Cada vez que visiono la película, descubro lecturas nuevas y guiños artísticos y culturales sobre la vida e historia de los Romanov y la Rusia Imperial.
Voy a cumplir 50 años y siento un vínculo único con todo ello ❤.
Спасибо
La misma edad del Zar 😱
Музыка просто волшебная ! Смотрела мультфильм "Анастасия " ещё в детстве и даже через большой промежуток времени считаю очень хорошим.
I get goosebumps everytime I hear 'Once Upon a December'
Suddenly proud that I’m Russian and my name is Anastasia
lucky you!
Beautiful name ❤️ so gorgeous
@@HelenadeEspartaDrz thank you so muchhhhh☺️
Same😄
Let me take you to Paris to see your grandma
I don't know why or how to even explain why I feel such a deep connection to this music... it's painful but so full of love and beauty, it's really hard to find words to describe what goes on with me when I hear this, I added it to my favorites ❤
i also cannot comprehend what feeling it gives me or how to describe it and it kills me! but i agree wholeheartedly w ur comment :)
you are not alone. i always come back to this song. ever since i first heart it in the movie. i won’t ever forget it either
Listening to this in the darkness is a TRIP
Как узор на окне
Снова прошлое рядом,
Кто-то пел песню мне
В зимний вечер когда-то.
Словно в прошлом ожило
Чьих-то бережных рук тепло,
Вальс изысканных гостей
И бег лихих коней.
Вальс кружил и нёс меня,
Словно в сказку свою маня,
Первый бал и первый вальс
Звучат во мне сейчас.
Зеркала в янтаря
Мой восторг отражают,
Кто-то пел на заре
Дом родной покидая.
Будешь ты в декабре
Вновь со мной дорогая….
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful
May I ask, is it russian version of the lyrics?
Or did you write this beautiful poem?
@@BoundlessEternity_ yes, it's russian version
Спасибо
I didn't know I needed a video on the ambiance and music of this film until learnt that this video existed. This film, though wildly inaccurate, made me research the real story as a child. The ambiance and music is so beautiful.
didnt expect too much of it, though. its still a kids movie, so they couldnt make it too dark
press play, instant nostalgia. anastasia was my absolute favorite princess as a child.
I watched this movie more than a hundred times, I've memories all the lines and to this day, 'once upon a December' gives me chills.
The music is beautiful but can we also talk about that beautiful picture?? The sparkles make it so magical. For sure one of my favorite scenes ever 😍
This is absolutely beautiful! I love this movie and its Broadway show counterpart. This music just took all the songs I love from the movie and ran with them! I've never been much of a fan of some of the 90's instruments like the electric keyboard so hearing these songs in more traditional and beautiful instruments just melts my soul!
YES
this was what i've been waiting for my whole life i'm not even kidding i was obsessed with this movie when i was like 5 so this hits different
Truly a tragic story. I love this haunting pieces very much and I hold them close to my heart
this is my comfort movie and omg I'm so grateful for this playlist
Okay guys, I live in Paris and I love to listen this music when I walk through the Alexandre III bridge, near the Eiffel Tower and the Grand Palais.
You are so very fortunate to live in such a beautiful place
ruclips.net/video/Ww3zGcl6JQk/видео.html&ab_channel=StephanieBarbara check this out too
How lucky you are. I'd love to visit your lovely city someday!!
Im so honored to have the same name as her tbh (this was my childhood comfort movie, сплошная ностальгии) ❤
FINALLY SOMEONE MADE IT 😭I've been waiting for a long version to just throw on in the background while doing homework and vibing- ty sm sm sm omg ❤️
I love the Prince of Egypt and Anastasia you guys posted here, Id love to see an Disney Aladdin version like this. The music is so beautiful!
To everyone here listening to this awesome relaxing music, If you are feeling down today, remember this: Life its like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs but in the end it will always be worth it. Don’t give up! We believe in you!
Quartet at the Ballet... that whole scene was stunning, and how they intertwined the different characters' perspectives with Swan Lake is incredible! Wish I could play in the pit orchestra for this musical.
Will forever be a song I'm never going to forget and stop loving. When I saw this my eyes literally wanted to jump out my sockets. My brain jiggled. My heart stopped. Thank you so much for this
O.O. all the memories... Yes might be a sort of pun there.
Love the enhancements. These will be alternating for my listening today.
glad you enjoyed it!! :)
that first one gives me dark academia vibes, i love it
Just sitting here reading a book that is magical, this makes the book that much better! It’s almost like the OST if it was a show or movie...🤍
What book are you reading? 💜

I, too, would like to know.
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
All my college essays this year have been made under this songs. Best playlist for my final papers!
This song feels like a mysterious Deja Vu. I remember when I was little and I saw this movie for the first time, I had this feeling like I must have had an experience like Anastasia in the past...
So did I
the more you play it, the more emotional impact it has on seeing their faces, and feeling the frailty and brevity of this life. Yet also the power of love and this gift of life, for whatever time we have here.
This melody gives me goosebumps. 😊❤️🎻🎼
There's only one word to describe this... MAGICAL
Thank you ❤
Who’s still watching this in 2024
you watching 🤷🤦♀
Meeeee🎉
me!!!
Reminiscing with Grandma is my favorite from the score. Every time I hear it I get goose bumps, my skin freeze of joy. That scene. ✨
♡♡
Me too. The fact that it is the instrumental composite of "Journey to the Past" is chef's kiss. It gives a meaning that the "Journey" has come full circle after finally meeting her grandmother.
Лёгкое, волшебное касание душевных струн.
Thank you for this! Anastasia is one of my absolute favorite musicals and I now listen to this while I study! :)
i love film disney Anastasia and the true story of Romanov family too. This soundtrack is so pefect and kind of nostalgic
Thanks a lot!!!!This sounds so melancholic and beautiful!!!
Goosebumps especially the moment when ghosts appear from the old paintings
A DREAM! Thank you so much for this. I feel like a princess with this. 💗
At first you think this is just a normal beautiful song, But once you know the back story it becomes a whole other song.
Заставка в видео сказочна! Так очаровательно переливается) Музыка трогает до глубины души...Плакала, когда играла первая мелодия))
Чудесная, летящая, великолепная музыка! ❤Мультфильм,, Анастасия,, СПАСИБО
БОЛЬШОЕ!
Instead of studying I’m really listening to the music and pretending I’m in a ball
I swear it! Reading comments like this it makes me feel like I'm not alone in my daydreaming way of life! *or call it ADD if you're a doctor 😂
Anastasia will always be my favorite princess 💗🇷🇺🎀

Brings back the memories, when I worked on the animated version of this movie. Working with Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and the best of the diverse crew is what I miss the most
I feel like the work you all put in was painfully underappreciated! Thank you for what you did, as it impacted so many people, and interested many in researching history and thinking more deeply about the spins put onto stories to make them more palatable. ❤️
@@wendy645 думаю, историю лучше изучать по историческим документам, книгам, учебникам, но не по мультфильмам... 🙄. В этом фильме "Анастасия" 90% выдумки, неправы. У реальной персоны, дочери российского царя Николая, была другая судьба.
Your work got my mom to name me after her… thank you :)
the music didn't even start yet and i already had goosebumps
My name is Anastasia. I was named after the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II. And this is my most favorite cartoon, though I'm starting to cry every time I watch it. Right now I feel goosebumps 😪 No wonder the last royal family was canonized as passion bearers... their fate is so tragic and terribly unfair. If only they could flee from the regime... I like to think that they could lead a happy life somewhere in US or Europe.
Вы моя тезка, не думала, что за границей до сих пор так популярна тема последних Романовых.
Как человек родившийся и выросший в России, которого на протяжении 11 лет заставляли учить историю своей страны могу с уверенностью утверждать, что при желании Николай 2 мог с легкостью покинуть Российскую Империю, еще в те времена когда был правителем, судьбы его предшественников явно давали понять, что монархия не продержится долго, но он был обратного мнения и отказался от престола только когда, грубо говоря, его приперли к стенке, а кризис в стране поднялся настолько высоко, что народные волнения уже было невозможно подавить. А когда чету Романовых сослали в дальнюю резиденцию, охрана, или скорее даже надзиратели не особо следили за своими заключенными, и они могли без особых усилий сбежать.
Николай 2 до последнего надеялся, что сможет вернуться на престол, поэтому и не предпринимал попыток эмиграции в соседние страны. Так же усложняло ситуацию то, что его младший сын Алексей страдал гемофилией. Как то так получается. Мультфильм и реальная история значительно разнятся между собой.
А смерть у них действительно была страшной. Пошли делать фотографию для газеты, а по итогу всех расстреляли в подвале, столько следов от пуль в стенах осталось, страшно представить, насколько мучительно они умирали.
@@nastavetrova5427 Я тоже родилась и выросла в России, но сейчас живу за границей)) Да, я в курсе реальной истории и знаю, что безграничный патриотизм и оптимизм (если это можно так назвать) Николая II в конечном итоге привел как его самого, так и всю его семью к столь ужасной смерти. От того вдвойне жаль, что все вышло именно так.
@@canella070
Does this mean the real Anastasia depicted in the movie actually died?
@@Mary-Ann_B_Mabaet Of course she died, there is no real evidence of her alive...
@@canella070 I presumed so but no one else ever stated it. Thanks for confirmation.
WOW... just wow... this was so nice to listen to! Thank you!
Learning Russian and drawing Russian Empire soldiers with this has been a joy.

Эх, мне 28, но я все еще пересматриваю этот мультфильм. В детстве на кассете просто затерли с братом. Даже сейчас захотелось тряхнуть стариной, хоть он и по-детски наивный, гиперболизированный и исковерканный местами в отношении истории России и царской семьи, но есть в нем эти злободневные проблемы и что-то родное. И ах, боже, этот Дмитрий, чертовски горячий мужчина, до сих пор так считаю!
Р.S. Эта музыка воспринимается по-другому, когда смотрел мультик в русском дубляже, этот мягкий напев старой императрицы звучит в моей голове.
Лет в 70 скажете тряхнуть сториной а сейчас судя по комментарию Вам 30 я на 10 лет старше Вас тем не менее старушкой себя не считаю а уж в 30 лет тем более.
I often cry when I watch this considering the sad truth. However, the Romanovs are now Saints in the Orthodox Church and are praying for me.
Ive listened to this playlist throughout my entire bachelor's studies. It makes studying so much easier and more picturesque 😌 thanks for helping sit my butt down and get stuff done!
Another one of your videos I love!
aw thank you! I love Anastasia as well :)
oh my... this sounds like crystal dust in heaven
This is one of my favorite movies and soundtracks. I almost cried when this video started. Soooo magical. Thank you!!
this movie is perfect
