    This remains to be my favorite Don Bluth film because of the romance and other things that I can't think of right now. And it's good to see someone not giving this movie a "meh" for once. Overall, a good review.

  • @BioGoji-zm5ph
    @BioGoji-zm5ph Před 5 lety +49

    Oh, Don Bluth. Why do your films always get the most atrocious cover art for their DVD and Blu-Ray releases, despite having the most awesome theatrical posters and VHS box covers ever made?

    • @user-ln4gd6hx7e
      @user-ln4gd6hx7e Před 2 lety

      Great observation. I imagine it's because on the original VHS covers, the poster art looks like the animation in the actual movies, which was nothing if not stellar. The DVD editions of these movies sadly came out long after the movies were made and the distributer no doubt didn't feel much motivation to pay to transfer the original over art over to them since it was probably thought the movies were so forgotten anyway, they wouldn't make much money in sales, so why not just have a computer shit out some cheap CGI duplicate animation for the cover. This happens all the time with older animated properties that don't belong to Disney. The distributor figures their is no way they will ever sell very well, so why take the effort and money to give them a nice cover. That might change with Amastasia though, now that it's owned by Disney ironically.

    So as other reviews have noted, they *really* gave Rasputin the short end of the stick by making him in that historically he had a postive relationship with the Romanovs, and was by all accounts a devout Christian.
    What is interesting is there was gonna be an explaination for Rasputin being evil in his film. In th folder script, Rasputin survived his real life assassination and blamed it on the Romanovs. In fact his introduction scene was gonna have him dripping because he's just escaped the river his body was thrown into.

    • @giovannirastrelli9821
      @giovannirastrelli9821 Před 5 lety +3

      Christopher Case, Empress Alexandra has a very toxic co-dependent relationship with Rasputin and it destroyed the little positive image the Romanovs had in the public eye. The fact that Nicholas didn’t put his foot down and banish him is what helped bring about the Revolution (two back-to-ones, actually.)

    I always thought her dad turned into a demon during the nightmare scene because Dimitri distracted Anastasia into looking his direction, thus breaking the hold the nightmare had over her, not because of anything Rasputin did! Common sense should have made him put some kind of spell over everyone else (including Pooka) so they don't wake up and try to save her

    I find it a bit sad that Miss Potts from Beauty and the Beast is the Grand Duchess, an important character, while Lumiere is here for five seconds. He's only here for a cameo...in the french version. (I forgot if he's here in the english version; it's been seven years since i saw this movie, it's hard to remember everything) Why he couldn't be a character that Dimitri know like a friend? I love Lumiere's voice and his accent is very charming, more than the brown hair man in fact. Dimitri's voice is fine but not as seductive as the living object.
    Rasputin is a great villain and is song is amazing, she's so catchy and the lyrics are cool; the music is pretty and i love the guitar parts :D Yeah the visulas aren't as scary but she is still awesome and entertaining!
    Bartok is a bit useless. I mean, he's only commenting on what's happening. The bat didn't help his master, he didn't distract Anya or try to attack her so his partner can kill the duchess. I prefer him in his own movie, at least he was proactive and risk his life to save an entire village. Here, Bartok did nothing important or useful XS

Just leave the only person of your family for a handsome guy. It's not like your grandmother could die or missed you! Anya could at least sends letters to her while she's traveling with her lover, guess she won't do it ;(

      Because Empress Maria Feodorovna both in real life and in the movie was married into the Romanov family, she was originally a Danish Princess. Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna was the only descendant left of the ruling royal family and the rightful heir to the Romanov fortune.

  • @98953812
    @98953812 Před 6 lety +5

    I don't mean to sound like a buzz kill, but I'm just realizing that the promise of a reward for find Anastasia back then was actually pointless in reality. Recently, I read an article about her and it said that her remains were found in 2007 (yeah I know, I'm pretty late) and the experts confirmed that her time of death was in 1918, concluding that she did, in fact, die during the revolution. In other words, in 2007, the entire Romanov family was confirmed dead and no descendants could have possibly been born because Anastasia never survived and lived with amnesia. What a letdown. :(

    The movie is good and all but Anya is a bit selfish. I mean, she abandon her grand-mother after finding her just because she is in love and want to explroe the world with Dimitry. Geez poor Empress! She will be alone and the last person of her family just leaves her for a guy, i feel sad for this women X(
    The animation and the songs are what i like the most in this movie, they are beautiful and catchy. Rasputin is a great villain, he's funny and has great powers; he could make a good partner for Hades; theses two will be hilariosu if they worked together XD

      For one, she only left after getting her grandmother’s blessing, and judging from her reaction at the end of the movie, the Empress is totally fine with it. Probably because she knows that she was not alone for the last nine years.
