Dimitri's character growth is really one of the stronger elements of this movie. He really did grow to care about Anya to the point where the reward money wasn't a major priority anymore. But him planning for months to con an old woman who suffered was something he had to fight to overcome. You could take out everything with Rasputin, and this movie would still work.
3:13 Dimitri has had a change of heart ❤. He grew to love her & discovered she is infact the long-lost princess, the grand duchess, Anastasia. So now hes really trying to help her👍
3:04 Dimitri used Anastasia to impress the dowager empress & claim the reward money but hes changed both his mind & his heart. He cares about her now after discovering she really is the grand duchess, Anastasia & wants her to b reunited with her family ❤
3:00 from the look on Dimitris face you can tell he's saying in his head oh no how long has she been listening 3:08 he knows she heard absolutely everything.
Thing is the royal families have already enough dramas everywhere, they don’t need another adopted daughter or something they just need someone to carry their weight
That slap is absolutely everything. Most shows and movies put in a slap for the sake of conflict and shock. But that slap felt earned story wise. If someone convince me to train “regain” my lost memories to potentially reunite me with the last living family I have no memory of. And found out it was just to con that person out of their money. I would’ve been feeling so sad and enraged and lonely and all the other connected emotional combos from those three. When a man refuses to leave a woman alone after she justifiyingly demands he does so and he grabs her arm. I too would slap him with all the force I could muster in my opera gloved hand.
How can you blame her for not being nice to person who USED her as a key to his/her wishes?Like,money? Although Dimitri started to care about her ,she did the right thing about saying that stuff to him!She wanted to know if she belonged to any family and waited for 10 ducking 🦆 ,sorry,years!How can she think when someone betray her? Could you think better than her ?Lol no,cuz no one could! Put yourself in her situation,and sorry if I'm being rude,and use your brain,please! You must think before saying something.
@@leylafox9697 you’re right. I know Anya had every right to be mad with Dimitri. All she cared about is finding her family and Dimitri had to use it for his own selfish conceited reasons
@@disneyvillainrocket1 Yea, although i sometimes hate the fact that it is an Anastasia movie (Like bro,the historical names and personas written in a fictional movie is something not good,but not bad if the story ,plot is good.) ,i find it not bad sometimes. Like, I don't think that shipping Anya and Dima (You know,our Dimitri 😂) is good cuz Dimitri is a random person ,like ...random OC 😭 (Bro, that's an insult i didn't mean it ) ,and Anastasia....you know,died in 1918 ,and she didn't meet any Dimitri with whom she would fall in love ,like bruh, cuz two things that always comes into our minds are : 1.Like i said,she died .Yea,died,Carl! 2.Never had to meet our boy and neither at least survived during the shot ;( That's why .... it's a little weird for this character to be in this,or any movie, it's just a little complicated,nah 🥲✋🏻 What do you think of it?..- WAIT ,OH,i would like to tell you my opinion about Rasputin. There are some,i mean BIG problems with him . So,where to begin... 1.Bro died in 1916,2 years before the Romanovs death. 2.For the sake of God,he wasn't a villain! 🥲 He didn't kill the Romanovs family,Lenin did! Why did creators of this movie (Don Blut,was that the name of creator?) make him look so bad ,when Rasputin was THE FRIEND of the Romanovs family? Like bro,at 1916,after the death of Rasputin's,ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE ROMANOVS FAMILY came to his funeral:( I don't know why the creators turned Rasputin into this,but ...ok?...i don't know?... So complicated 🥲,lmao
@@disneyvillainrocket1Btw, sorry if i was rude and for my poor grammar ,i just don't understand when people can't just think properly,and who blame the ones who does that only thing ,hurtful ,but the thing that is right in the situation.) But hey,if you don't think bad of that Anya's move ,then i must appreciate your change ! Good job ,lol :^] 👏🏻
As a kid I was scared of when Anya yelled at Dimitri. But now that I’m older and grown a bit soft on love stories, this is a well written break up make up scenario. RIP Angela Lansbury
Speaking of which you should use the footage at2:37 with Anastasia’s reaction to her grandmother’s passing because Angela Lansbury died get it. This should be her reaction.
The ballet that Anya, Dmitri, and Vlad go to in both the film and the stage musical is different, The movie, it's CINDERELLA but in the musical, they go to SWAN LAKE. There's an extended number in the musical while the trio is watching the Ballet entitled QUARTET AT THE BALLET. It basically breaks down the characters points of view.... Anya, Dmitry, The Dowager Empress, and the created Gleb (which replaced Rasputin). If this song was in the film, they could have showed more with the animation of the Ballet but close ups on the characters with just their voices singing in their heads. Kinda like with SOMETHING THERE from Beauty and the Beast.
As a matter of fact I recently discovered a PBS broadcast of the ballet from the 80’s. And I was hoping I would come here hoping the whole ballet portion of the scene would be shown.
He wants to do that, now. When he found out the truth about her, when she explained how they escaped the palace, that’s when he realized that the girl he knew as Anya, was really Anastasia, the Empress’ long-lost granddaughter. All he wanted after that, was to reunite her with her family.
All he had to do in this scene was tell the Dowager Empress up front that he vowed to take no reward nor favor (which he ultimately did later anyway) and present the music box. Would have saved so much time and pain, but then we wouldn't have a movie to watch, so lol :P
I'm not sure if closing it all the way would actually help. Even if a door is closed all the way you'll still be able to hear someone's voice through it.
The thing is the Russian royal princess has been found she under protection by her father putin and usa 🇺🇸 and 🇷🇺 russia it me so I really appreciate all the love you telling my story of my life well done very beautiful
Why doesn’t Marie believe Dimitri that he has found her granddaughter, Anastasia for them to be both together? And why did Marie want those 2 men to chuck him out of that room where she and that lady wearing a turban were in? 😕
The 1st question: They’ve been working on Anastasia look-a likes, and she was tired of it. She no longer believed her granddaughter was still alive. She thought it was just another actress pretending to be Anastasia, but later, after Dimitri finally convinced her to talk to her, discovered it really WAS her beloved Anastasia.
@@cooperlumsden2131 She survived, but her grandmother had not seen her for years, by now. She was convinced her granddaughter was gone. She found out she was wrong. Her Anastasia had returned.
The voice actors nailed this. Meg Ryan is so perfect in this role!!
And to think she went from When Harry Met Sally to this

You could take out everything with Rasputin, and this movie would still work.
But without a villian, this would be a very boring film.
There's a great Broadway play by the same name that I think you'd be interested in 👍
I would have liked the movie more without Rasputin
@@aguitarandapianoI would take it over this version any day

Yes it's true.
But Anastasia didn’t care and got hurt.

This scene never gets old
What do you mean, Gabe?
3:00 from the look on Dimitris face you can tell he's saying in his head oh no how long has she been listening 3:08 he knows she heard absolutely everything.
3:00 I can explain
My thoughts, Dimitri what did you expect.
This scene breaks my heart because Dimitri is telling Anya is the real Anastasia
Yes Elisabeth, but Anastasia didn’t trust Dimitri which means Anastasia thought he was lying to her. 😕
Thing is the royal families have already enough dramas everywhere, they don’t need another adopted daughter or something they just need someone to carry their weight
I still like this cartoon, I remember it very good, because I watched it many times.
Me too.
I first had on video when I was tiny and now I have it on blu ray. ❤
So did I. I’ve watched it since I was 4.
I think I was about 7 myself when I first watched Anastasia.
Oh, yes and by the way, how come Anastasia’s grandmama, Marie didn’t trust Dimitri that he found Anastasia so they can get together?
3:30 No! I don’t wanna hear about anything that I said or remember! You just leave me alone!
Do you think we're deaf? We heard

“Dimitri?”
“Yes?”
“Anya.”
“Yes?”
“I . . . I, um . . . “
“Yeeeees?”
Lol I can’t 😭
I know Anya is upset about dimitri’s betrayal but she must train herself to let go of everything that she fears to lose
She was hurt by dimitri's behaviour. He used her, claiming her to b Anastasia so he can have the dowager empress' reward money.

Anya: Oh! 😑
[ANYA walks away]
Dimitri: Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Deep breaths. Everything’s gonna fine.
😂😂😂🤣🤣
0:51 she looks beautiful.
3:36 man that hurts
I never knew what ballet they were watching but I found out recently that it’s Cinderella.
As a matter of fact I recently discovered a PBS broadcast of the ballet from the 80’s. And I was hoping I would come here hoping the whole ballet portion of the scene would be shown.
3:24 She should have also said to him ,how could you do this to me I thought you wanted to help me find my family.
And he does. The past is the past but now hes trying to help change the future for everyone.
He wants to do that, now. When he found out the truth about her, when she explained how they escaped the palace, that’s when he realized that the girl he knew as Anya, was really Anastasia, the Empress’ long-lost granddaughter. All he wanted after that, was to reunite her with her family.
She should've also added "I trusted you!" to the sentences.

Damn she drew back on that one!!😮
I do the same thing when I’m nervous. 😅
Same!!! Ive never seen it in a movie before

LIKE REALLY💥
3:20 what do yall think she was going to say?
I think she was going to say:
*I actually fell in love with you*

If you’ll just hear me! 2:05
Anya please you have to know the truth! 3:37
She slapped Dimitri 3:36
More like bitchslapped him
Yeah I mean, if someone physically restrains you, you have the right to use as much force as needed to free yourself. Textbook self-defense.
Wait! Don’t go please! 🙏 2:03
Listen to your
..heart?
@@zapzarbiedrama8285Yes. Thats exactly what Dimitri is doing.
Wouldn't be an animated movie without the Liar Revealed/Third Act Breakup cliche.
Good third acts are so hard to find in terms of maintaining the momentum
Dimitri: that's it! I'm going get her grandmother to talk to her when i had her music box!
2;57 this could be a fitting reaction of anastasia learning of angela lansburys passing because she voiced her grandmother the dowger emperess marie
2:37
NO! I don’t wanna hear about anything that I sayed remembered! you just leave me alone! 3:30
Sound like her or act like that in the end it never reserved this time it is her! 2:23
Dimitri should have closed the door properly as he goes into the dowager's private box.
I'm not sure if closing it all the way would actually help. Even if a door is closed all the way you'll still be able to hear someone's voice through it.
Haven’t you been listening? 👂 I have enough! 2:15
You used me? I just part of your con to get her money? 💰 3:03

I wonder how the Dowager Empress knew that Dimitri was a con man?
I have no idea, Lydia. 🤷🏼♂️
Maybe from some very reliable sources in the shadows of St. Petersburg
