I am an history/ animation movie freak. I am so passionnate about this that I decided to share it with other fans. First, I must apologize for all the mistakes I will probably make ( I am not a good writer, sorry!).

I will tell you some interesting facts about the last Tsar (Nicolas II or Anastasia father).

The real tsar picture that we can actually see at the beginning of the movie on the grand-mother desk.

He is the son of Alexander III and Maria feodorovna and was born in 1868. So, in the beginning of the movie, he was 48 years old.

By the family of his mother (both mother were sisters) he was the cousin of King Georges V of England. The amazing thing about this, is that both monarch really look-alike (as you can see below). This give birth to some misunderstanding where ambassadors did actually mixed-up the two men. That must have been funny situations.

He was really in love with his wife when he married her and was seen by a lot of his friend like a good father. The movie is right on this part.

On the other end, he was not that much a great emperor ( but I don't want to enter the famous question whether he was a victim or responsible of what happened). He became Tsar at 26 and had told to his cousin just before beeing crowned that he never wanted to become Tsar. Yes, he did not always acted right and, on this, maybe the movie is lying a bit (but I understand that it was OK to do so it didn't scare young children)


I let you judge wich image we still have of Nicolas II, the last Tsar of Russia.

As you can see in the first picture, The movie began in 1916 with a great ball.


The problem about it, is that, in reality, this ball occurred in 1903. It was a fancy-dress ball where the guesses had to wear traditional russian aristocratic costume (and, no, the Russians didn't always wear those clothes!).

You were born in a palace by the sea.

A palace by the sea?
Could it be?

Yes, that's right.

You rode horseback when you were only three.

Horseback riding?
Me?

And the horse

He was white!

You made faces and terrorized the cook!

Threw him in the brook!

Was I wild?

Wrote the book!

But you'd behave when your father gave that look!

Imagine how it was!

Your long-forgotten past!

We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast!

All right...I'm ready!

Now, shoulders back and stand up tall

And do not walk, but try to float.

I feel a little foolish.
Am I floating?

Like a little boat!

You give a bow.

What happens...

Hi everyone..
I'm Tiff, I'm a recented added fan to this spot, athough i've loved the movie for years and years (IN fact I went to the movie threatre to see it) anyways, recently I put up a fan pick about the Banner, now I know there are some people who might actually like this banner but I for one would like to see a change.

which is where all of you come in. I need someone who is into photoshop or whatever program to make a new spot banner for Anastasia. if you don't want to, I'm sure I can have someone else make it, I'm just give you all a chance as a fan to make the banner yourselves.

once you make the banner, if it's okay with the marker of the spot, I will contact Dave to take it from there.

just Message me saying you want to make the banner and send it to me though a link.

thanks so much.

xoxo
Tiff

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!

Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day!

Hey!

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 crack!
It's a rumor
That's part of our history.

They say her royal grandmama...

Well, it seems that I had never done this movie review before. So, what I am going to write is a review on my favourite Don Bluth's animated feature, Anastasia!

The Story

When I first watch this movie, I was really amazed to find out that the story is based on a true story about the Russian Grand Duchess name Anastasia Romanov, who along with her family was killed by the Bolsheviks in Yekaterinburg, Russia sadly.
Rumours had it that she survived the massacre, and a famous impostor name Anna Anderson would later claimed to be her. Unfortunately, her DNA did not match to UK's Prince Philip's...
