- What happened to the real Anastasia Romanov? Well, it's not the sweet fairy tale that Don Bluth's Anastasia would have you believe...

#Anastasia #History #TheFangirl - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Even after all these years it's still one of Don Bluth's best films. And it's still heartbreaking the Romanoff children suffered such a horrible end. Rest in peace little ones
Agree to all three sentences. Anastasia and Titan A.E. were both incredible animations, and it always broke my heart that Titan A.E. did so poorly that Fox closed down their animation studio.
@@TheFangirlWatches yeah it is truly tragic, there was so much potential for more great 2d animated films with Bluth at the helm. Secret of Nimh was also a great animation marvel, and my all time favorite, aside from Anastasia, but hopefully Bluth will raise enough cash to make that Dragons Lair movie one day✊
I always thought part of the rumor was due to Anastasia's bones not being found amongst her family. Then much later with new technology, they discovered that her bones were buried under her brother, Alexei.
I love the myth legend and mystery of Anastasia. Love the movie. The stage musical is also fantastic. There’s so many docs on it now on Netflix. Give all of it a watch. For real.
I know I've seen at least a few of the Netflix documentaries, and loads on the History Channel before that. I prefer the fantasy that she never Anastasia grew up and lived happily-ever-after. T_T
I love this movie. The true story is sad though. Thanks for analyzing so well, Megan.
I agree, I hate the true version of events. I've been planning to do this video since 2016 but I couldn't muster up the mental courage to make it until now.
I love Anastasia! The real story of what happened to her is really sad... You were not the only one who loved that movie, I had the dolls and video and eventual CD and so on. I still believed that she lived..
I feel so bad for Alexi... He didn't deserve his cruel fate..
Rasputin was also horny... Yeah he was a sex fiend....
I do feel that Nicholas truly loved his family but I wished he and alexandra had thought of sending their kids to safety... .
The jerks who killed them also poured acid on the bodies. Also.. a cook, a maid and even the family doctor was murdered.
Shivers.
Nicholas's last words before being shot is chilling " What? What?"
Yeah I tend to think of myself as a Romanov family expert. .
I'm currently reading a book called I was Anastasia.
I honestly prefer the animated movie's ending because I don't want to think of the horrible and violent way she passed..
This video was so awesome!
Always be fantastic.
Your theory videoes are always fascinating.
Excellent singing..
Love your hair. 💙💜
since medical knowledge was still sparse at the time, even though drugs like aspirin were available for treatment. sadly for Alexei, aspirin, considered a cure-all remedy, had the then-unknown side effect of thinning the blood, which would have exacerbated hemophilia symptoms. French historian Hélène Carrère d'Encausse argued that when Rasputin insisted that remedies prescribed by the doctors be thrown in the fire, the discarded medicine likely would have included aspirin. Rasputin’s insistence that the doctors leave him alone would have improved his condition and appeared to create a miraculous improvement in his symptoms.
I remember loving this movie and one time, when I was about 14 years old, I found out about the real story. And once the video talked about the execution, I cried. It was to much for me to handle. Like, just imagine there are people you really trust to help you and non of a sudden they kill you. I still get chills whenever I hear „Once upon a december“.
They weren't lied to; a White Army contingent was actually marching for Ekaterinberg(the city the Romanovs were held near) to rescue the Tsar, which caused the communists in the city to execute the Romanovs early in order to prevent them from being rescued.
Anastasia is my favourite princess, i've been obsessed with her story👑
Iv seen the story of the czar Nichola and his family. It’s tragic, it’s unforgivable. The people who murdered them- shame on them. Even if Nicholas deserved to die the children didn’t.
I also recently saw a documentary where they think they found atleast some of the Romanov family bones.
The society was so man on the monarchy that they didn't care, I was totally for it. Russia was in terrible conditions after the WWI, so people were all for the revoliution
Thank you for making this video. Love the 1997 Film. Love the legend. Love the history as well, in spite of the dark tragedy. Thank you for bringing light to all of this.
Instead of thinking of the movie as being based on a true story, I've always thought of it as based on the legend and mystery that surrounded the princess and her death for nearly a century. There's something so fascinating and mysterious about the idea of a princess on the run, escaping off to foreign lands and going into hiding.
I fell down the Romanov family rabbit whole some time back and read through the entire Wikipedia pages for the whole family. I theorize that the reason why it was Anastasia who was rumored to be alive over her siblings is that she seemed to be very well liked, deapite being a hit of a troublemaker. She was quirky and the palace staff were supposedly pretty fond of her. She may have been thought of as "the favorite child", at least by some people, so it's just my theory that that's why she's the one they started the rumor about.
Thank you for this video! I had to watch it again since Anastasia is now on Disney+. The truth is so heartbreaking.
Your such an amazing singer
I am so not, but I thank you so much for the compliment. 💕
i’ve always loved the animated movie growing up, i know people give it flack for historical inaccuracy tho personally i always tend to look at interpretations in the media a separate thing from the facts. after all it was what got me interested in studying russian history!
It was sad. When I first saw the movie I went on a research spree, so I pretty much already knew that. On a side note, you have a wonderful singing voice. And that's a heartwrenching song.
I was in my early teens when the movie was released. I loved the movie, and it inspired me to research the actual history, which I found fascinating, but also very depressing.
Love the purple on you so much better than the blue and the lip color ommmg! Beautiful
Thanks! That was one of those temporary Splat boxes promoting Descendants 3. They had some good colors in that set!
Fun fact about Rasputin, he was so sure of his magical abilities that he advised not to give doctor proscribed medicine to Alexei. Said medicine was actually worsened Alexei's condition. Accidently, he actually helped the boy.
Oh how interesting! I've also heard that they tried to do away with Rasputin and he just wouldn't be put down!
@@TheFangirlWatches if you mean his assasination, yeah, on the party at Tzars nephew-in-laws(henceforth ill refer to him as count) house he was given poisoned tea, cake and wine, and it didnt effect him at all. Then the count shot him in the chest. They then went to do some scheming to make it appear as if Rasputin just disappeared, but when he and his co-conspirators returned Rasputin leapt at the count, brawl ensued, and at the end Rasputin tried escaping and got shot by other conspirator, at which point they wrapped his body and dropped it in a river. At least thats the counts story. What is weird is that his body had a third bullet that he didnt mention, which lead to speculations of British involvement(Rasputin was a pacifist and advised Nicolas to make peace with Germany)
Made it to the end...thank you for the great video.
Made it to the end..... again your amazing and so is ur voice plz keep being you!!!!
Thank you so much Katie, you’re the best (as always!).
Many people believe that Maria was the lost princess not Anastasia.
I had not heard that before, but from the pieces I have heard, the Russian government wanted to keep a huge veil around the issue, so I'd completely believe that different children (or maybe adults at that point?) would be rumored as alive.
@@TheFangirlWatches Eugene Nicolaievich Ivanoff pretended to be Crown Prince Alexie, Alina was a woman who never publicly said she was maria but her grandsons had. If you look at British and Russian News Reports they say Maria and not Anastasia. The Americans were the ones to start the idea that is was Anastasia has survived. From that idea the rest of the family was not that important or as known as their daughter and sister was. I am not trying to be disrespectful but I understand where you get the idea.

I really love the video though. It just upsets me that the other family doesnt get the spotlight.. i just dint think that's fair tbh.
Thank you so much for this theory!! Anastasia has to be my all time favorite movie besides Coraline. This was a beautiful theory and I loved it!😁 I remember watching Anastasia and Coraline so much when I was younger and I still watch it till this day.
My favourite movie and also the first movie I watched ❤️great video as always
I know I loved this movie so much too! I'm pretty sure I can find some of my old Barbie-sized dolls if I keep hunting around.
I love the movie so much. I found out the true fate of Anastasia when I was around 12 after loving the movie and it made me love the movie more as it was an escape for me and it still is one of my favourite movie.
I like singing "if I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it" when trying to teach my siblings to balance on the curb sides. Lol
I had Bartok toys! I still want all the Bartok stuff!
I Love Anastasia but you’re right it’s terribly tragic what happened to her and her family 😢
Yes, when they confirmed in one of those documentaries that they found her body too, it just crushed me. 😭
The Fangirl Yeah But on the bright note I got to see the Anastasia Broadway Musical too It came to Chicago I Absolutely Loved It!!! My favorite song Journey To The Past you sang it great don’t get down on yourself 🙂👍🏻
Hello new to the channel and was wondering what is the about the salior moon poster behind you in this
Oh, it's a fabric wall scroll I bought in the 90s. I just like it, and it doesn't glare in the lights, so I have it back there. :)
Please do a video or video series on the anime Sailor Moon.
I know I really need to make that happen in 2020! It's beyond time to get on that lol
Maybe someone here can help me. I have a super hazy memory of an animated action series from the 90s. I'd rent it from the mom and pop video store in my little bity town, which means I probably only watched the same 3 episodes repeatedly.
Here's all I can remember...
1. It had a tech/sci-fi theme to it. Space ships and lasers kind of stuff.
2. I'm pretty sure it was a team of characters, that I'm pretty sure were human teens.
3. The only bit of story I remember is that they were trying to save wildebeest that seemed to be in an artificially created field/preserve that was inside a much larger metal structure. Idk if it was a spaceship, or if it was on a planet.
Does this ring any bells for anyone else?
You make me wanna watch it now. Anastasia is playing on Disney +.
Belated singer Aaliyah sang the theme song (radio version) Journey to the Past. She was even nominated for an OScar, but lost to Hercules Go the Distance. Another favorite. I also love the Marx songAt the Beginning.
You actually have a beautiful voice. I like your singing derps
You are so nice, but I know I'm pitchy or whatever the proper singing words are.
@@TheFangirlWatches Eh, everyone has their pitchy moments heheh. Ya goober ;D
Journey to the past and once upon a December are my favorites. Tragic story of the real Anastasia.
I love this movie it's one of my favorites i could watch it over 100 times and not get bored
It's so beautifully animated too. Just 😍
@@TheFangirlWatches i need to find a dvd copy i miss this movie
Wow I didn't know all that...that crazy.
I remember watching this film when I was younger. I knew it wasn't a disney film but I always thought it should be, (although, technically it is now, lol) but when I learned it was a true story I thought it was really sad,
yeah the true element made it more interesting to me, but NOTHING in the movie is accurate lol
Made it to the end!
I remember watching a documentary where a women in South Africa claimed to be Maria. Anastasia older sister, so it is possible that one of the four sister did exscape, but will never know for sure.
No, we do actually know as a fact now because they found the bodies and did DNA testing with their relatives. The Queen of England’s husband even participated, as he was a relative to the Romanov family. But, I think that was in the late 90s that they discovered the bodies, so lots of people had room to make false claims before that.
Hi Megan,
I'm Daniel from London, England. One of your fans. I have a few Anastasia film questions. I would like to please know your thoughts.
What happened to the train driver?
What is Rasputin? He's dead, but not a zombie, or vampire?
What would happen if Anastasia went to the fishmonger?
What would happen if Dimitri and Anastasia never got together in the end?
Does Anastasia do return visits to the grandmother?
Where do Anastasia and Dmitri sail off to?
Would Anastasia and Dmitri move back to the palace and start their own family?
Look forward to hearing.
Daniel
I’m a kid and I love this chanel
Early squad 💕
Thanks for being 1st today! 💕😊
Actually Nicolas tried for asylum in England by his cousin George. But the children were sick with the measles that it was dangerous to move them. But king George denied the asylum because of German hostilities and empress Alexandra was a German by birth. And Gregory Rasputin wasn’t really a bad guy and hadn’t an affair with Alexandra. Plus if your interested in the Romanov family I suggest to watch The Romanov Royal Martyrs or read from a man named Paul Gilbert. It will surprise you how many of those documentaries and series have it wrong.
It probably wasn't *just* a rumour from the Soviet government either. It's entirely probable that their Cold War enemies would have wanted the rumour of one of the Romanovs to survive to spread, so that someday they could emerge to regain their "rightful" throne and show the Soviets as usurpers. Movies like Anastasia fall right into that fairytale. Unfortunately for her, reality was a lot more like Game of Thrones.
I heard rasputin was into dark sorcery and taught it some of the children namely Anastasia xx
I think that's one of the reasons that people concerned for the royal family tried to kill Rasputin, but I also highly doubt the Czar or his wife would have allowed that.
First, looking beautiful as usual Megan
omg thank you so much Sammy😘💕😚
The Fangirl 💘💘💘
You should make a CZcams video where you complete the Coraline video game. It’s actually a little different from the movie and you’ll probably like it.
Lol I did that last year. Full gameplay on SayHaloGoodbye and theory on here. 😁
The Fangirl ehh, I probably recommended it like a year and a half ago. I’ve just been inactive the past year
The Fangirl I had already watched most of the video. Guess I’ve just forgotten everything I’ve done in the past year
I really loved Alien when I was little so I named my cat Rachael Ripley Spunkmeyer
Made it to the end
Please see the musical it is great!!!! The villain is different but I think it works really well.
I got to a few weeks ago and OMG it was so good!
Got me good with Anya
Does anyone find it odd that they all of sudden find her remains when she is getting way more attention its like that went shit when need to cover this is up here is a body its weird that they just found the remains when she is getting the most attention.either way what ever happened i hope she is resting peacefully now
Noooooo!!!! Childhood ruined😭💔 but I still love your content 😘
Didn't Jon solo make a video like this too?
I don't know who that is, so I neither know nor care, lol. I assume 10000 history channels have covered it to.
@@TheFangirlWatches You should check out his channel and his videos. He's pretty good
czcams.com/video/p-IpJQM3mDQ/video.html
I watched the Anastasia movie to 👑
i remember calling this my favorite disney princess movie as a kid! (don bluth wouldn't like that, but i didnt know the difference, lol)
edit: oh yeah, i remember getting a barbie doll of her for christmas too! eventually lost her tho, rip)
A LOT of people thought it was a Disney movie because the animation was so good. It was actually better than Disney in a lot of technical ways. But now it is a Disney property! lol
another thing that irks me about the movie is the implication that tsars children were all very young when they were murdered. the eldest dauther was 22 and the son like 13 i think. anastasia herself was 17. so not nearly as young as the movie suggest. doesn't make the murder better of course.
2:43 they didn’t bury him (the people who murdered him) they threw him in a river :)
I'm so excited for this video. I love Russian history
It is so fascinating! I get really pulled into non-Western History because it's so different from what we learn in school.
Well, I guess Russia is kind of in the Western History sphere, but we generally shove it out of the textbooks unless it's in context of a war.
@@TheFangirlWatches Russia's history is very different from the rest of Europe since the Mongols controlled the region well into the 1400s. I guess that's why it is not really talked about.
A pity what happened to that young girl
😰
They found her body in 2007. Located within sight of where the rest of the family was.
Love your hair! This was so sad yet informative, learned so much! So now by all accounts the musical dosen't make sense either; unless Gleb went after her so the public wouldn't find out? Definitely agree the children shouldn't have been killed; go people of Russia!!
I remember watching the film as a kid. Then I found out the truth about Anastasia Romanov IRL, and I felt so sad. I also felt betrayed. :'(
Me too! I felt broken to hear the truth (and I heard the truth in my mid-20s!) lol
@@TheFangirlWatches I found out in my teen years, thank goodness. I don't think young me would've been able to take the truth.
I never got to see the movie, will have to watch it someday. I remember reading a short story from Mary Higgins Clark where the government(?) brainwashed this woman into believing she was Anastasia.
That would be even crazier than the movie if it's true!
Yay I love your videos I’m nearly dropped my phone when I got this notification
I hope this video was worth the *almost* damage to your phone lol
The Fangirl it was 😂
1997...wow I was 8
Might not be a 1 for 1 retelling of the true events, but I still like this movie more than most Disney Princess films.
If you're really interested in the history of the Romanov Dynasty, here are the links to a part 1&2 documentary about them.
czcams.com/video/46DEVQ8UacA/video.html
czcams.com/video/PLnYFdAhFLk/video.html
These were produced by StarMediaEN, and you can tell by just watching how much care and effort went in to making them. They're very well made & informative, I've seen them many times, and I highly recommend them.
wait, so rasputin WASN'T a dark wizard, who sold his soul for a demonic reliquary, and had a talking a bat as a sidekick? now i'm disappointed....
I knew the real story of Anastasia before I watched it. I grew up watching it. That is what I got for being overly curious. BTW I have Pernicious Anemia (that is what I get for having 3,000 years of royal blood in me) and yes, I have anorexia (my body is unable to tell if it is hungry). FYI I FOUND OUT ABOUT MY DEAD BROTHER WHEN I WAS 6!
I loved this movie when I was little. But didn’t Warner Bros do this movie? I don’t think it’s Disney.
It was Fox which is now a Disney property.
The czar and czarina were despicable. Those who murdered the children even worse.
When Anastasia isn’t a comrade. 😖🗿 😔
spoiler alert but that's like the main antagonist plot from the stage adaptation! lol
The Fangirl I haven’t seen the movie lol 😝
I'm sorry but I am trying to be mean Jon solo did a video on it to
I mean, I don't know who that is, but is that a problem? I feel confident a lot of history channels have done the same video too.
@@TheFangirlWatches it's Fine thank you for bringing it to my attention have a nice night or day I still love you videos
Dont worr, she is happy in chaldea now
Happy early v-day
Make a video of hazbin hotel
too gritty for a gritty reboot
I was born in 1997 so I missed out but I love the movie
but you still saw it, so your parents raised you right! lol
@@TheFangirlWatches I watched it in my kitchen whilst my dad was making tea. I was 17.
Anastasia the cartoon is not Disney it's Fox
Disney owns Fox now, so Disney owns Anastasia and her fate.
The Music of the Anastasia animated movie is beautiful so but it historical inaccurate. Anastasia and her beloved family didn't deserve to be Killed by the Bolsheviks at all.
The 1991 body that was found was all but two bodies Anastasia and Alexei were not in it. It wasn’t until 2007 when they found Anastasia and Alexei. Also the story of the movie Anastasia wasn’t based off of communist propaganda it was based off of a story where they mixed everything around and created their own story off of the sole fact that Anastasia potentially lived it’s more of a what if scenario and I have no issues with them doing it. Personally I wish they would do a live action remake of the original cartoon movie but I doubt they will since it’s owned by Disney now.
The broadway musical left out Rasputin completely
They did, and I think it worked out really well with Gleb as the villain instead. Soooooo good!
They killed them all even animals Evil
Damn communism
As the reincarnation of Rasputin, this ongoing slander is unacceptable. My former self was a man of medical science. As a child, my brother and sister gave their lives saving me from drowning. I almost died anyway from the experience. I was a man of faith, but never enough to take any vows.That honor belonged to my beloved wife Praskovya. I was not a perfect man by any means, but all of the absurd accusations against me a product of communist propaganda and tabloid imaginations. They saw my efforts to save young women and their customers from sexually transmitted diseases as perverse orgies. My rumored drunkenness was the layman's interpretation of a sleep deprived doctor with antiseptics soaked into my clothing. And that's before all my trouble with that damnable church.
Nicholas never listened to anyone. Not his people, not his wife, and certainly not me. All our hopes were bound up with that dear Alexei. Regardless of what you may have heard, Alexandra was a woman of faith. She sought solace in Praskovya's platonic company. We were dear friends, but never did we share a bed. Nicholas soured any supposed friendship we may have had when he made advances on my Maria and Varvara. They were 10 and 8 at the time. I admit I pondered poisoning the bastard.
You can take solace that Anastasia and her sisters Tatiana and Maria did survive. Olga and Alexei were not so lucky. My wife and children took the girls with them when they fled Russia. That's as much as I know about the situation. Which is more than a dead man should've known.
I know I'll never be seen for the man I was under the slander. The best I can hope is that you've found this interesting.
Sure. Why not.
@@TheFangirlWatches Maybe there are more reliable sources than the ones claiming I was a monk. Just saying.
