November 28, 2003I believe that Anastasia is a great movie. I have the video, and I don't mind watching it over and over again. I became really interested in this film because just about 2 weeks prior to the first preview I saw of this movie, my World History teacher in high school talked about the Imperial Russia and the Czars, and the story of Anastasia. When I saw the advertisement of this movie, imagine my surprise! We were just learning it, and now it's a movie! It's a great story, although the movie might be a little misleading as far as what 'really happened'. Overall, love the cast, love the songs (in fact, I've memorized each and every one of them because I have the soundtrack), love the movie..... plus I don't really care how much similarities they have with Disney characters. It's just better that way. Also, I though Bartok was really cute!

November 22, 2003ok,so im not exactly the film critic of the year, but i believe that anastasia is one on my favourite animated movies ever! (it comes very close after beauty and the beast and aladdin). the music is unique, nothing like that of a disney movie. i love "once upon a december" the tone is so beautiful, and whoever sang it has a fantastic voice. although, yes i do admit that they are trying maybe a bit too hard live up to disney standards, as i can see the resmeblance in Jafar and Rasptuin's character, Anastasia still has many qualities of it's own. i love this movie, especially, the music;some of the songs im still humming to myself now, and i saw the movie almost a month ago! in my opinion, columbia did an excellent job, although they could have added a little bit of truth to the story (Rasputin did not kill the Tsars and was not a magical man). well done columbia!

September 23, 2003*Anastasia is a great childrens movie I saw it when it first came out. In the musical/theater group at my school we are sining the song once apon a december, I get the solo. I think that the person who sang it is a great singer. I love all the songs and all the actors and actresses did a wounderful job and i'll keep the movie I have so I can show it to my children one day and everyone show have this movie.*
