Little girls will love it
This was a great movie for my 5 year old granddaughter. She loves anything with princesses and the color was beautiful. Great value with the added bonus of the 2nd disk. She will pass it to her baby sister when the time is right.

I love Anastasia and the digitically remastered version makes everything stand out and capture your heart as if you were watching it for the very first time.
And if you ARE watching it for the very first time -- you're in for a treat.

Great Movie, Misleading Description
I love the movie and have no complaints about the movie itself. I was disappointed though in the misleading review of the movie. I have a love of languages and bought the specially edition partially because it said in the Amazon description that the disc contained a Russian audio track, which it doesn't, but other than that, I am completely satisfied.

Completely inaccuarate, but still fun
If anyone knows the real story of Anastasia and the Romonovs and Rasputin, then they will also know that this movie doesn't resemble the past in any true way. However, technically, this is for children and I guess they wanted to change up the story to liven things up a bit. I can understand that. At first watch, I wasn't impressed with this film. Perhaps because I was too distracted with all the changes. However, upon my second viewing, I found myself getting into it more, and I think it had to do with all the music. This film has a wonderful soundtrack. I especially love the hauntingly beautiful 'Once upon a December'. The other songs are all very good too. So the movie grew on me and I have watched it numerous times now. It is a pretty enjoyable movie and I'm sure anyone young and old will like it, so even with the discrepancies, I would still recommend this.

Bartok Rules!
I saw this movie in the theater and instantly loved it. Great songs, great story, great characters. And, of course John Cusack. But, above all Bartok the bat steals the show. I love bats and this one is albino and Russian. He is the slave pet of Rasputin, what couldn't you love about this movie?

A Personal Favorite
I never saw this movie as a kid- since "The Little Mermaid" was being shown in theaters at the same time this was, I opted for that film.
However, finally watching this movie as a teenager I really wish I had seen it on th widescreen.
We have the tale of Anya- a "nobody" as she puts it, without a real name, past or family. Her only clue? A necklace with the words "Together In Paris" enscribed on it.
It's a beautifuly done movie, breathtaking animation- how can you NOT get shivers up and down your spine during the "Once Upon A December" scene? I know I can't. Rasputin in the cartoon looks rather like his historical counterpart, very, very creepy. I rather enjoyed how they made him "Undead" as in real life he was VERY hard to kill. (I don't remember HOW many times they attempted to kill Rasputin.)
Other than Rasputins looks, and several smaller details, the movie is largely historically unaccurate, but wonderful nontheless.
My one complaint? Sometimes Don's animation goes.... funny when he's trying to animate humans from a particular point of view. It could be just me, but I think he has that problem in ALL his animated films. (With the possible exception of "Titan AE")
Either way, add this to your collection. You won't be dissapointed.
