  Anastasia (1997 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anastasia is an animated feature film produced and directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman at Fox Animation Studios, and released on November 21, 1997 by Twentieth Century Fox.
A fairy-tale style adaptation of the legend of the Russian grand duchess Anastasia, the film imagines that Anastasia, daughter of Nicholas II of Russia, escapes the Imperial Palace during the October Revolution and survives the slaughter of the Imperial family.
Bluth and Goldman, who did extensive historical research on the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia and the Russian Revolution for the film, never intended for their film to be scrupulously analyzed for historical accuracy; their film is based upon the legend of Anastasia having survived the slaughter of the family.
