As someone who is learning creative writing and aspires to write historical fiction, I think the structure of this film is BRILLIANT. Disney could never, (ironically, the creators of this film were once fired from disney because they were 'not creative').
Don Bluth was one of Disney's _best_ animators, and I have a theory he was actually "too" creative for Disney, because he wanted to go darker and talk about themes that Disney wasn't comfortable with. I think they were threatened by him. They made a HUGE mistake letting his ideas wither like fruits on the vine and letting him go. He previously worked on films like The Fox and The Hound, Pete's Dragon, The Black Cauldron, and Robin Hood to name a few. When they let him go, his "unfriendly" ideas lead to films like Anastasia, The Secret of NIMH, Thumbelina, All Dogs Go To Heaven, The Pebble and the Penguin, An American Tail, and he started The Land Before Time series. These could never top Disney's market dominance, but a lot of people hold these movies in highest regard, higher than Disney in some spots, as some of the _best_ animated features of the 80s and 90s. Don Bluth, MASTER of animation.
Yeah and now Disney has stolen back the creativity from them. The amount of people over the years that thought this was a Disney film. Now it technically is but they didn't do it. It's cheating, lazy and greedy of Disney 🫤
I firmly agree and I’m constantly in awe of the fact that it doesn’t end with the restoration of monarchy, or the “old order” that is such a norm for princess stories. Its a princess story where the heroine decides not to be a princess, because its not what she, the audience, or the world of the film need anymore.
This scene feels so much like a Broadway musical scene….Which you don’t usually hear or see in movies. This is really an incredible song. Lyrics, dancing, music arrangement
The nice thing about having a cast full of voice actors is even the minor characters in this song, who have one line and two seconds of screen time, all come across as distinct characters. You compare this version to the Broadway one and see which is more fun to listen to.
Fyi this movie isn't Disney, it's 20th Century Fox! And they never strictly mention "communism" BUT they do mention it a tiny bit on the train. "That's what I hate about this country, everything's in red!"
I like these kinds of movies because they get people interested in seeking the history behind them out for themselves, not because they necessarily depict everything accurately (this movie irked me by not even saying the word "communism" or "communist" among many inaccuracies, but I still liked it).
I guess it is better to avoid those awkward "mommy, what's a communist" conversations, but we can't coddle kids too much. Bad things happen and kids have to learn about them sometime.
Rachael Lefler Yeah this movie does gloss over some complex stuff. Not the least of which being that the Romanovs weren't exactly tip-top people. Although what came after wasn't that great either.
Rachael Lefler True. But Disney did a great job of adapting it and keeping quite a few of the original themes, albeit a lot less nuanced and simplified for the kids' movie. Anastasia weaves it's own tale out of the threads of urban legends and fairy tale surrounding the Romanovs. It all works out though. Murdered by Bolsheviks makes a lousy ending to a film and a life :/
It's so surreal ... I'm listening to this song in English for the first time. I was born and raised in Russia and I remember watching Anastasia constantly. Loved it so much as a kid.
Does it matter whether it's historical or not? It's an awesome movie with a beautiful rags-to-riches story that captivates something in everyone. Even if it's not true, it's exactly what this song is talking about... a legend, a mystery; something more to talk about. It's a nice little piece of storytelling.... even history is over fifty percent fiction.
Technically it is based in history, for a long time there was a rumor Anastasia lived and an insane woman who claimed to be her, so even though it’s a cartoon and things are obviously made up for a story the premise is very much based on a historical myth. A lot of them actually, there was a smear campaign against Rasputin because he had a lot of support so they labeled him a devil worshiper. Also Rasputin and some of the songs even bring up historical facts which I find so freaking interesting to see them blend it together with the obvious children story
My grand-grand mother was the servent of Anastasia's mother, and she was telling my granmum and my mother everything about life in the castle and after the revolution. This song reminds my mum on her and me on the Russia
And I just saw the preview in Hartford and holy crap it was good and the difference with the show and movie is ... They put actual facts that happened that so the story plot makes more sense.. No evil spell
Wonderful movie. Too bad the real history was much more grim. Anastasia never survived the revolt and all her main family members were executed all at once. She was 17 when she died. If only this movie was the truth (with the exception of Rasputin. He was creepy, but I don't think he was evil or actually hated the Romanavs as far as I know), but real life isn't as grand or happy like a fairy tale or a rumor. But I like to think this movie is a tribute to the Grand Duchess and the life she could've had if she had escaped or had been spared. At least her name lives on.
+Geass Prince EXACTLY!!!!! God. I just recently watched this movie again now at 22 years old and was like hmmm... Hadn't seen it since i was little so i did the research and learned the true story behind Anastasia and her family. So so so tragic, but I love to think of this as the life she would have had if she did escape. Sigh. If only... RIP to everyone in that family.
all fairy tales have lies sadly like anastasia, Arial, sleeping Beauty they are so beautiful yet such a dark story behind it yet it makes it better and I do agree fully with you
You also forgot a couple things. 1: It's a kids movie, of course it's not going to be accurate 2: Do you really think people randomly start singing like that? You could just enjoy the music for what it is
Right? Has any film version of the story been truly accurate?! It's a semi-modern legend, like Robin Hood or King Arthur - based in part in true events, but embellished and fancified (yes, that IS a word... because I said it is).
That moment when my genetics teacher was talking about anastasia's story, i had to come directly after home to check this movie ost anastasia #Nostalgia ..... But wow the real story is really sad
@@talika8253 The entire family was murdered and buried in unmarked graves when Loyalist started getting close to where they were being kept imprisoned by the Bolsheviks. Their bodies were rediscovered a couple of decades ago, and all the royal families across Europe submitted DNA to confirm they were the Romanovs. They were and were laid to rest in their family's Russian orthodox church. It's a sad story overall.
Guys, this movie was not made to be historically accurate. It's a kid's movie. And an excellent one at that. They did a great job of portraying the rumor of Anastasia possibly have surviving the murder of her family and showing a more optimistic side to the story. Pocahontas isn't historically accurate either, and people love it. The best part of this movie is the music, which is probably the part kids love the best as well.
Noup... Don Bluth my friend! He used to work for Disney until he got tired of the way things were done in the "house of the mouse". So he opened his own animation studio.
Now that I'm older and understand what it's like to loose family I wish they showed anastasia realize that her parents and siblings are all dead. Idk but I think it would have been more vulnerable and real I guess
St. Petersburg is gloomy! St. Petersburg is bleak! My underwear got frozen standing here all week! Oh, since the revolution our lives have been so gray!

This movie is like a fanfiction made by a fan of an anime who didn't like the ending where the main character and his/her friends died, and the fanfiction became a huge success.
I personally like the movie version a lot more than the Broadway one, I think this one has a lot more energy and is generally more fun to listen to. I'm also super not a fan of Dimitri getting the very important music box just through "oh yeah I bought it from some random guy", that just seems so anticlimactic to me.
this movie is actually one of my moms favorite films, I’ve been obsessed with it lately & learning about the Romanov family, it’s definitely one of my favorites now. I vaguely remembered it until I re watched it a few days ago, and i haven’t stopped listening to the soundtrack thanks to this playlist!
Starkiller Base is Gloomy. Starkiller Base is Bleak. My Underpants Got Frozen Sitting Here All Week. Oh, Since the Galactic War, Our Lives Have Been Okay. Thanks to The First Order, We're Safe In Our Home Base. Hey!
The very first guy to sing is Fred Tatasciore, voice of the Hulk in craploads of Marvel stuff, Nikolai Belinski in COD Zombies, Megatron in Transformers: War for Cybertron, Steranko/Rocksteady in TMNT 2012, Mario Auditore in Assassin's Creed, and many more. He has a very distinctive Russian voice!
Meanwhile in Moscow, Stalin is humming this to himself. The guy who was first singing it was sent to the gulag not because of subversive Royalist gossip, but because he got it stuck in Stalin's head. All according to Trotsky's plan.
It's super weird going back to this version after listening to the Broadway version for a while. Which I guess is true for all the songs they used in both versions
Okay so what you do is you get the Broadway cast recording, and then you listen to it a hundred million times, and then you go back and listen to this and then all of the sudden Dmitri sounds insanely high-pitched and nasally and kinda creepy. But then you go on loving both versions anyway. The end. Thank you for your time. ~:~
For all you genii out there, IT'S NOT A HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARY. This movie was made with the intent of entertaining children, not to be the source of debate. Unfortunately, Anastasia did not survive, but this movie fantasizes what could have happened if she had. Fortunately, Rasputin was not a sorcerer, but this movie fantasizes what could have happened if he were. One more thing: IT IS NOT A DISNEY MOVIE, EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE only because Disney is the best.
As a kid I thought it was “Have you heard of the singing on the street.” I thought “Well, if an entire city burst into song and dance, I think it would make international headlines.”
It's so sad when you realise, in real life, Anstasia, her little brother, mother and father and all her older sisters were shot to death in a small basement room, and when their captives saw that two of the princess' were not dead, they beat the two girls to death.

I think it’s bc this movie had some Broadway stars in it, and then eventually the movie became a Broadway musical😊
Wow so true!
This and the Prince of Egypt are but a few gems that were by far some of the best animated films to come out that wasn't Disney
And Cats Don't Dance.

@@TigerPrawn_ yeah they are
the quality of it seems questionable from what little i've heard
Fyi this movie isn't Disney, it's 20th Century Fox! And they never strictly mention "communism" BUT they do mention it a tiny bit on the train. "That's what I hate about this country, everything's in red!"
But why is it on Disney +?
I just searched yesterday, and it's not on Disney+. The first thing that the smart tv gave me was HBO. D:

Much like Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Until recently I thought this film WAS made by Disney!
Noup... Don Bluth my friend!
He used to work for Disney until he got tired of the way things were done in the "house of the mouse". So he opened his own animation studio.
Yeah, I notice that a lot of the general decor reminds me a bit of Beauty and the Beast!
Inkyminkyzizwoz That's what I thought for a loooong time until I realised there was no Disney symbol at all !
Shinzhon What?! I've never seen the movie before, but I always thought it was Disney.
Karis Harper No, it was Fox
Don Bluth may not be making films anymore, but his legacy will live on, now that his film has become a Broadway Musical!!!
One of the best opening songs ♥
Can't wait until this is FINALLY on Broadway!!!!
I know me too
i love this movie
Shh, it's a secret. Don't tell anyone. Meanwhile the whole town is in a chorus and dance in the middle of the town square
This movie genuinely got me through depression props to this,
I adore the big dance numer in this song it's AMAZING
Now that I'm older and understand what it's like to loose family I wish they showed anastasia realize that her parents and siblings are all dead. Idk but I think it would have been more vulnerable and real I guess
the neva flows,
a new wind blows,
and soon it will be spring,
the leaves unfold,
the tsar lies cold,
a revolution is a simple thing!
This movie’s soundtrack is incredible!! It’s so full of amazing music, clever funny lyrics and a whole lot of emotion
Here is one of the Best animation movies i've ever seen
The music in this movie is just so wonderfully delightful!

Have you heard
There's a rumor in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard
What they're saying on the street?
Although the Czar did not survive,
One daughter may be still alive!
The Princess Anastasia!
But please do not repeat!
It's a rumor,
A legend,
A mystery!
Something whispered in an alleyway
Or through a crakc!
It's a rumour
That's part of our history.
They say her royal grandmama
Wil pay a royal sum
To someone who can bring the princess back!
A ruble for this painting!
It's Romanov, I swear!
Count Yusopov's pajamas!
Comrade, buy the pair!
I got this from the palace
It's lined with real fur!
It could be worth a fortune
If it belonged to her!
It's the rumor,
The legend,
The mystery!
It's the Princess Anastasia who will help us fly!
You and I friend
Will go down
In history!
We'll find a girl to play the part and teach her what to say,
Dress her up and take her to Paree!
Imagine the reward her dear old Grandmama will pay!
Who else could pull it off but you and me?
We'll be rich
We'll be rich!
We'll be out!
We'll be out!
And St. Petersburg will have some more to talk about!

Hey!
Love this song and movie - so underrated!
As much as I love this movie, the real story just makes me so sad.
I know what you mean, especially it was made official in 2008 that none of the children survived that they all died with the czar and czarina.
The very first guy to sing is Fred Tatasciore, voice of the Hulk in craploads of Marvel stuff, Nikolai Belinski in COD Zombies, Megatron in Transformers: War for Cybertron, Steranko/Rocksteady in TMNT 2012, Mario Auditore in Assassin's Creed, and many more. He has a very distinctive Russian voice!
Awesome!
I just got goosebumps :D THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!
this has always been one of my favourite songs from this movie
Ah! Nostalgia Attack! I wanna watch this movie, like seriously
To me, this film deserves a 3D re-release WAY MORE than Titanic
Joe Yaroch It would be cool so see the ball room dancers jump out during the "Once Upon A Decembef" scene
I agree with you.
I love the movie than James Cameron's Titanic!
Meanwhile in Moscow, Stalin is humming this to himself. The guy who was first singing it was sent to the gulag not because of subversive Royalist gossip, but because he got it stuck in Stalin's head.
All according to Trotsky's plan.
Why is this so funnyyyy
+
Those Trotsky sympathetizers trying to undermine the true Soviet government
underrated soundtrack
Always gives me chills this song ❤❤❤❤
This is the most underrated song from this movie
Yeah, thats good, but it's no
IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT!
True. I personally think this is one of the weaker songs on the soundtrack.
Besides, revenge is sweet when the curse is complete.
A rumor in st Petersburg is like one if my fav, better than the dark if the night for me.
Its A Square World
Dark of the night is my least favourite. Rasputin has always given me the creeps.
Disney finally heard the rumour... the Princess has finally been brought to her new home!!!
Easily a top 3 Disney movie. Easily.
its actually not a Disney movie, but its 20th century fox. I still think it beats most disney movies, though
I love this song
this movie was my childhood
My underwear got frozen standing here all week,I laugh every time.
I really like this entire movie, because it somehow reminds me of my life story...
Really? I wish my life was like that o-o ^^
o-O...
Excuse me, what the fuck?
You heard it, I'm alive! ...
It's super weird going back to this version after listening to the Broadway version for a while. Which I guess is true for all the songs they used in both versions
The way he says "week" gets me every time. :) lol
I recently watched Netflix's The Last Czars and the whole time despite knowing what happened I was praying Anastasia and Alexei would somehow escape
Great Song!
Anastasia Clemens, ❤❤❤🎉
I love this movie made me want to think about my past
This. Movie. Needs. To be. On. Broadway! Seriously, it would be so awesome! :D
@@ARealKekwSituation It was. From 2017 until 2019.
This is my favorite movie, I love it so much that I don't even care about it being historically inaccurate, I just love it!
WHY IS THIS NOT ON BROADWAY
+Gabi Miller It's about to be! :D
+Dylan Greenwood really? :o
It is now!!!!! 😄
It is
Gabi Miller it is
I love it 😍😍😍😍👌
Dimitri should of had a full song to himself
ahhh finally its here thanks so much
this song reminds me of Fiddler on the Roof!! this would be amaaazing on broadway!
my childhood
I love this movie I added as a favorite on my facebook page.
232 people didn't hear the Rumor in St Petersburg.
Ah yes a rumor in the city that wasnt called st petersburg for decades at this point
Okay so what you do is you get the Broadway cast recording, and then you listen to it a hundred million times, and then you go back and listen to this and then all of the sudden Dmitri sounds insanely high-pitched and nasally and kinda creepy. But then you go on loving both versions anyway. The end. Thank you for your time.
~:~
its like the same song but not yknow? like the broadway is longer
And he survived several assassination attempts.
This.... is sooooooo good! I want a script!
Listening to this while doing history homework on the February Revolution :P

One more thing: IT IS NOT A DISNEY MOVIE, EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE only because Disney is the best.
As a kid I thought it was “Have you heard of the singing on the street.” I thought “Well, if an entire city burst into song and dance, I think it would make international headlines.”
It's so sad when you realise, in real life, Anstasia, her little brother, mother and father and all her older sisters were shot to death in a small basement room, and when their captives saw that two of the princess' were not dead, they beat the two girls to death.
That's happy, not sad. Corrupt, spoiled, rich people getting their heads smashed in :)
