I like how the writers incorporated some of the real Anastasia's personality into the character. The real Anastasia was pretty mischievous and sassy. She usually didn't care much for royal gatherings as they rarely had anyone interesting to talk to, even people her own age. She also hated having servants dress her up for big events and didn't care much either for fancy dresses. The palace was pretty much the only place where she was allowed to be free-spirited and spent much of her free time pulling pranks on the palace staff, hiding in cupboards when her parents or tutors were looking for her and throwing snowballs at her sisters but as she got older she matured out of her mischievous nature and started writing satires and jokes in her free time, though she continued to be sassy and smart-mouthed. This made her Alexei's favourite sister, since she was sometimes able to ease his suffering by making him laugh. And as Alexei got older, he and Anastasia became very close even though he was considerably calmer and more respectful of authority than her. Honestly, the fact that someone so full of life was murdered stings my heart. The Romanovs were such a loving family.
I was a kid when I saw this and in middle school I learned all about the Romanov family and it BROKE MY HEART. To this day I still have a soft spot for them, history is so cruel. This movie threw me down a rabbithole of Russian history as a child. I was personally offended that they had been murdered so cruelly
Everything about it, even right after I watched it the first time years ago, felt distant and nostalgic. Like regardless of the time period you're in, the effect of this movie is immediate
I'm still horrified when I think about it. My mother is from Russia, and I lived here since I was 6. Realizing that somewhere in this land lays tzar and his family that were killed... Haunting
@@harleyking88, even if he did a lot of mistakes. He didn't kill hundreds of people like some monarchs did. But he still received such a treatment. It's not just unfair, it's savage.
I think she definitely remembers something, considering her sisters and father are there, and we even get a glimpse of Alexei. But I'm not sure - there's a couple of women behind Alexei, but no clue if either of them is Alix (that was her nickname, like how her husband was Nicky). Also, fun fact, I read somewhere that Maria, the sister closest in age to Anastasia, showed some mild symptoms of haemophilia, just like her little brother. Her blood clotted, but not as efficiently as it should have.
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 memory. Far away, Long ago, Glowing dim as an ember, Things my heart Used to know Things it yearns to remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December
I'll never forget this song I remember watching this cartoon movie Anastasia with my little sister's on a cold winter night warm in our house by the fireplace back in 1997
Worst part about it was growing up and doing some search to be shocked that the story that I heard when I was young was wrong and she actually died with em too. no granny was waiting for her...
Shocking how I remember watching this before I was even in kindergarten, this song was deep in my memory and I knew it was Anastasia, its such a good movie
Це дуже сумна пісня в неперевершеному виконанні. Дівчина, що втратила усю сім'ю і частково память, потрапивши в місця де пройшло її дитинство - знову пережила усе це. Поцілуй батька особливо зворушливий. Світ виявився дуже жорстоким для цієї иаленької дівчинки забравши у неї просто все!
the real anastasia actually died the same day the rest of her family did:(. her body and alexei’s weren’t found for a few decades because they were hidden away from the other family members remains.
@@wits3392 i think it was proved to be anastasia because they did dna tests on all of the bodies and the only two that weren’t there were alexei and anastasia
Czar Nicholas was a terrible czar but a good man and father. He was given a crap hand when he came into power, and because his father did not do anything to teach him how to rule he did the best he could. It wasn't enough. Russia was centuries behind in many things and the people kinda just had enough. It didn't help that he made stupid terrible short sighted decisions that because he had absolute authority, he had no one to blame but himself.
If your friends grandma didn't watch this with you while you were being baby sat as she trashed talked Rasputin in the background, you had no kind of childhood lol
During the family being assassinated, it's often said that Anastasia sat up after being shot because the children had the family's jewels sown into their clothes. This song hurts with the animation because people often forget that her father really didn't have an interest in being the Tsar and was more family focused. The royal family didn't have to die, innocent children were murdered. Even now, researchers aren't sure if the female skeleton found belongs to Anastasia or her sister Maria.
Even though it's a cartoon, what makes me more sad, the most is seeing one of the sisters comparing the size of her hand to Anastasia's, because in the murder, she was still a child :( /Sorry the bad english
I was 7 when this was in the movie theaters was awesome because I loved the animation. I used to have the Anastasia doll from the movie but I had to give it to my cousin because I couldn’t keep my toys picked up off the floor.
@@eluisn I know I was just letting them know their is a musical if they were interested. I'm personally fine without the film because there's things you can do with animation you can't with traditional film. Though it could be cool
Okay so who's ready for a story. So . My mother originally wanted to give me anya as my middle name but I have something else but whenever I ask she says she got it from the movie Anastasia and I was like umm ok I didn't know what it was. later I asked and she started to explain anya's story but not well and I just didn't understand. So after watching a scene from the movie on a RUclips short, I was 10 at the time I didn't know it was her but the song that was playing ( this song ) For some reason had me like in a trance😅, so for awhile I was just humming that song then one day I was like ok I'm tired of this so I searched up Anastasia and found this movie and I fell in love and ever since then I've been having a ballet dance at random times singing this song In my room. And you'll see me fangirling about this story. And I'll be buying the book soon.❤
This number has a feel of a haunting lullaby. Makes you feel like you are remembering a distant memory of those who have sadly died a long time ago
it wasn't such a long time ago. a little over a hundred years
I know right?!!
I want Lauren paley to sing this😄
Remember the Holodomor
Y E S!! This is why I'll be having a tattoo with a quote from this song, in memoriam of my grandparents 🖤
Seeing this on the big screen, yes I’m old, the moment the moment the ghosts burst out of the paintings was stunning
It definitely was
Always ! ❤
Beautiful
Especially if these r ghosts of the revolution, poor dears..
Ooo I wish to see that someday

Have you seen Anastasia's photos? They really do display how much like a kid she was, she acts likes a teenager nowadays taking fun photos.
To be fair, the Romanovs were not very loving towards their country
@@s.c.594 Yes they were. Nicholas was a very loving and well-meaning person.
@@vetarlittorf1807 let me rephrase that then, they were not very loving towards their people
Funny how the song is about distant childhood memory's when this movie feels like a distant childhood memory as well.
*I N T E R E S T I N G*

It feels haunting to listen to now.
Its a like a double rainbow :)

And knowing the family was assassinated is horrible. And they have finally all the remains to put laid to rest 😔
I'm still horrified when I think about it. My mother is from Russia, and I lived here since I was 6.
Realizing that somewhere in this land lays tzar and his family that were killed...

makes me sad to think about it, he looked like a nice guy
@@kurtenjoyer9353 He was a good father, he wasn't the best Tsar but he was a good person.
This song gives me chills because it's so good 💞
This scene right was a core memory to 5 year old me , I was almost convinced at one point I dreamt it all up until I rewatched the movie years later
If you look at the floor when she’s dancing only she is reflected. Cause the others are ghosts or just a memory replaying . I really like that

My great grandmother was piano tutor to the Romanov children so this feels kinda personal.

Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.

Far away,

Things my heart
Used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Am I the only one who feels bad over the fact that she was a slaughtered child, their parents were one thing for all the bad but they were just kids
Pour Anastasia… they killed her, they killed all Family
always get goosebumps when the ghost burst out the painting
This sound is so wonderful. The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness!
I'll never forget this song I remember watching this cartoon movie Anastasia with my little sister's on a cold winter night warm in our house by the fireplace back in 1997

I love Anastasia so much
God bless! Thank you for this!

The message of the song is very heartbreaking, considering the actual fate of the Romanovs, its brings tears into my eyes.
Always my fav movie growing up. Enchanting is an understatement for this movie
Absolutely beautiful
my princess 🥰🥰
In Brazilian Portuguese there is also an incredible melody
Ué a melodia não muda em versão nenhuma... A letra em português não chega nem aos pés da original e nem a cantora
one of best cartoon song!
This sounds like what dark academia feels like the haunted but nostalgic castle and misty smell.
Shocking how I remember watching this before I was even in kindergarten, this song was deep in my memory and I knew it was Anastasia, its such a good movie
Love her
Me too
"Someone holds me safe and warm" 😫
This song makes me miss people I've never met and places I've never seen
this song hits different once you know the real story of what happened

It's fake. All of the Romanovs died.
I named my daughter after Anastasia. I thought Anastasia survived and was in hiding and died not too long ago..🤔
the real anastasia actually died the same day the rest of her family did:(. her body and alexei’s weren’t found for a few decades because they were hidden away from the other family members remains.
@@ra1nybugz And it also could be Maria's body, since they were close in age no one knows which body was missing, maybe it was Maria all along...
@@wits3392 i think it was proved to be anastasia because they did dna tests on all of the bodies and the only two that weren’t there were alexei and anastasia
i love the name anastasia and fell in love with it bc of this movie, it’s my number one name for future daughter!!
My mother wanted to make my middle name anya specifically after her.
I regret her change in mind😔
one of the most beautiful song ever from my childhood.
Anastasia is my comfort movie fr
Ух ты, эта песня и на английском шикарно звучит
My Ex-fiance was named Anastasia "Princesses don't Marry Kitchen boys".
💀💀💀
That is one beautiful magical ballroom fantasy.
It's very an emotional and so amazingly a beautiful song it's reminded me back to my childhood years
I love this song sm still
The last bit with her dad 😢

I’m getting old but not old enough to get board of this song and movie!
I think the reason I love this song so much is because my birthday is in December :/ (December 22 specifically)
Es la primera vez que lo escucho en inglés y es magnífico ❤❤❤
For me a lot of old memories start flooding back for some reason. Long, old familiar memories
OMGAAAFAFAFAFAF HER SONG ARE SOOOO ARGHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
If your friends grandma didn't watch this with you while you were being baby sat as she trashed talked Rasputin in the background, you had no kind of childhood lol
why did i start sobbing
such a gorgeous song.
uh i just love December SO much and its my birth month
My Father calls me Anastasia he tells me all the time that i remind him of This Anastasia
I love Anastasia, Anastasia and Anastasia.
I love watching this, I have it on dvd
i love it so much
my childhood
I've been to a haunted castle and slept in the beds anyways... it reminded me of this song bc obvi... and then I listened to it. IT WAS SICKKKKK.
LOVELY song lyrics...
Anastasia is having a sudden guilty conscience about her own past....
i like this song in Russian so much. so glad i am a native speaker
Ilove december ❤

Man most of the songs in Anastasia slap and they have no right to go that hard! 😅
In need of a live action
They have one. I think it's a Broadway production

No it isn't. Live action adaptations as a concept are an insult to animation as an art form.
