Summary: Best Bluth cartoon since NIMH
Review: I have to admit that the animation and story that are in this cartoon are the best I've seen since the Secret of NIMH *that's saying a lot from me*. The songs are compelling and the characters are totally believable. The animation was so captivating that it just knocked my socks right off my feet. A wonderful treat for all ages, this movie will live on for generations. Be sure to look into it.

Summary: You will want to see this movie again and again
Review: I think this is one of the greatest films of the 1990s. The DVD was very good, the documentary, the feauturette...way better than the VHS edition. It's animated, but in a way, it seems live action. Oh, this is a must see!!!!

Summary: Seeking a record of the October Revolution?
Review: ...well, then this film is decidedly not what you're shopping for. If, on other hand, you have a desire for something to placate children that is intelligent enough to sustain your interest (something, perhaps, other than another 'Barney' video), this may indeed be something you'd enjoy.
I admit, quite frankly, to having seen this film in the theatre when it was in cinema release (and to having enjoyed it); the story is fast-paced enough to hold the interest of younger children, while the plot and characterisations are sufficiently developed to satisfy most viewers (myself and my unsophisticated cinematic taste inclusive).
Perhaps the only question I might raise about this is its suitableness to the three-and-under demographic: Rasputin, the villian of the piece (and historically recounted as being the "Mad Siberian Monk" responsible for the bringing down of the Tsarist state...not that this accounting glosses the reality or anything, but...), has been nominally dead...when found by his (remarkably charming) sidekick, Bartok (an albino bat), Rasputin is literally falling to pieces...he may cut an image that is overpowering for the extremely young.
Miserable uncertificated attempts at psychoanalysis aside, this is really a delightful film...for me, the first animated film since Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" that I fell in love with. Animated or not, this is a nice film...and as regards the animation, it is simply exquisitely done.

Summary: A true masterpiece!
Review: Anastasia is one of the best animated movies that has ever been created. It surpasses Disney's constant futile attempts at animation which are always too cute for their own good. The best character in the movie is Rasputin(voiced by Christopher Lloyd and sung by Jim Cummings). His comical way of falling apart adds a likeable element to his personality and with his eerie ,but catchy tune " In The Dark Of The Night". Christopher Lloyd really does an excellent job at bringing the spirit of Rasputin to life, and also, the comedic sidekick villain Bartok the albino bat brings a balanced out amount of evil in the villain to this movie.

Summary: The Greatest Animated Video Ever!
Review: I mean what I say, this is like the best video! I loved it! It's got everything from comedy, to romance, to just plain good video material! It's about the russian Princess Anastasia, and how she finds her family after loosing her memory. The Russian Revolutioin splits her apart from her Grandma, and meets her up with Dimitri and Vladimer, two friends who try to fool the Grand Dutches that she is Anastasia, when she really is without their knowing it! You see, she lost her memory. Over all, it is DEFINATALY worth getting.

Summary: An outstanding Movie.
Review: Now I know just as many others here have said that the Anastasia of real life never had the story that we have here, at least so we think.That's the fun of an unsolved mystery, you can make up the what if's. And so that is what we have here, A what if scenario given life by Twentieth century Fox and Don Bluth. And what a wonderful little story they tell. It is of a young woman who looks very much like Anastasia, but cannot remember her childhood. Will her seach for discovery lead her to finding that she is indeed the Princess Anastasia? Or will her hopes of finding a family be dashed in Paris? So we have as this story unfolds one of the first, if not the first, animated Movie that is aimed squarely at not only children but their parents as well. The addition of Bartok and Rasputin are definite adds for Children, but the rest of the Movie plays like a very nice romantic comedy. The animation is top notch, in fact after seeing this movie again, after recently having seen _Tarzan_ made me realize how good the animation really is. Personal tastes may vary, but I find the animation much better than most of Disney's work. The voice acting is very good. Meg Ryan plays the role of Anastasia, and John Cusak plays the role of Dimitri. The music is very good as well, and while they are not as memorable as _The Little Mermaid_ or _Beauty and the Beast_, they are still very good. As far as the DVD is concerned, I think Disney could learn a lot from Fox Video. We have a Making of documentary, a little featurette, the standard trailer stuff, and then two Sing-a-long songs that will definitely appear to the younger audience. If you are looking upon building a DVD library, especially if you have Kids or like animation, then this is a cannot miss purchase.

Summary: Anastasia DVD Review - Maybe not Disney, but very good!
Review: The staff who created this video did such a wonderful job and you can see their work through the extra's on the DVD. I truly commend them for their hard work. Also, to the voice actor's who did a wonderful job. And last, to the people who wrote and somewhat involve with the music soundtrack. Absolutely beautiful. The video and the sound was really good. In terms of child viewability, there are times when the dead Rasputin has limbs coming off and as a parent, it is your choice if you want them to watch it or not. Nevertheless the movie is just plain awesome! The extras...There are quite a few of them but they are long. From the games, puzzles and trailers to the featurette and a special documentary hosted by Alliyah, this is one DVD that I have to highly recommend. For a non-Disney animated film, this movie is definitely one of the best out there. Highly recommended!
