	Anastasia (1997 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anastasia and Marie run for a train, but while Marie is able to climb on, Anastasia loses her grip on her grandmother's hand and falls to the platform, hitting her head.
		As 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.
		The film is based on the play from the 1950s by Marcelle Maurette adapted by Guy Bolton and turned into the film Anastasia (1956) which was based on the legend of Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia surfacing as "Anna Anderson".

	Making Film History: 1998's Animated Features (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Although 1997 was a meek year for animated feature films, it did represent the coming of a new revolution for animation.
		DreamWorks marketed their film as an adult feature that would be suitable for children as well, but even with the help of leading voice actor, Woody Allen, Antz lacked the magical spark that cartoons typically bring, and instead left a dark and claustrophobic impression.
		This film is a visually captivating tale set amidst 16th century Mayan culture about a couple of roguish swindlers who get their hands on a map to the fabled city of gold, El Dorado.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Anastasia (1997)
		The 1997 animated film Anastasia was a comeback of sorts for ex-Disney animator Don Bluth, who left to direct animated features on his own.
		An orphan named Anya, who has lost all memory of the first years of her life, is used by two con men to pretend to be Anastasia -- but, naturally, it turns out that she may be the real thing.

	DVD Review: Anastasia
		Anastasia spends a majority of her life as an orphan; when free of that life, she soon runs into two con men(played by John Cusack and Kelsey Grammer) who happen to be looking for a girl that can be an imposter, but actually, they've found the real thing.
		The film also does go the route of most animated films in adding little sidekicks, but thankfully, this film has some of the best in quite some time.
		I remember the early screening I saw of this film in 1997, where a majority of the kids really enjoyed the film, but it freaked out some of the smaller kids who were scared off by the film's action.

	1997 in Review - Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Emerson College dropout Paul Thomas Anderson's sophomore sizzler (his first film was last winter's little noir Hard Eight), a grand, comic epic about the porn-film industry of the late '70s and early '80s, one-ups Scorsese, Altman, and Tarantino.
		Anastasia, from Disney alum Don Bluth, is animation that looks more like a live-action movie, but its tale of how Tsar Nicholas II's youngest daughter finds her grandmama -- and love -- in Paris, despite the efforts of the villainous Rasputin, is Anastasia's story as it never was but should have been.
		With Elisabeth Matheson magnificent in the title role, the film is like an Icelandic saga: love and marriage, family and society, sin and redemption -- what life is all about.

		ANASTASIA, eight years old and apparently late for the party, rushes down the upstairs hallway followed by a SERVENT (SONYA) 16, who is trying to catch up with Anastasia to tie a large ribbon in her long, dark hair.
		All eyes turn to Anastasia, who once she realizes that she's the center of attention, flashes a mischievous smile and descends the staircase in grand style.
		Anastasia sees Dmitri eyeing it hungrily and without missing a dance step, she grabs an orange off thr tray and tosses it to Dmitri.

	Tucson Weekly: Film Clips (December 11 - December 17, 1997)
		The love story between the title character and Dmitri (a con-man who unknowingly trains Anastasia to pretend to be Anastasia) is so effective, in fact, that the evil schemes of Rasputin (now half-dead) and his droll bat sidekick Bartok (hilariously voiced by Hank Azaria) almost seem tacked on.
		In spite of its generic underpinnings, however, The Rainmaker is a fine film: The pacing's smooth, the cinematography and Memphis locations lovely, and the performances kick butt.
		The films to be screened are "MOLT!" by Rob Sabal; "Number 13," directed by Michael Toubassi and produced by Melinda Ritter; "In Between Friends," by Reginald Spangler; and "Open 'til 3," directed by Ari Lieberman and produced by Carol Knorr.

		The legend of Anastasia has in roots in a historical truth: that when the Communists executed the Romanovs and gunned them down, the young Grand Duchess was not shot; she fainted.
		In this film, the Russian Revolution is set in the year 1916, with an eight-year-old Anastasia; already, the historical inaccuracies are present.
		It shows how Anastasia was able to escape the rebels who had come to kill her family, but has her falling to a train platform and losing her memory while still in St. Petersburg.

	Anastasia (1997): Reviews
		This sumptuous-looking film clearly spared no expense in its visual rendering; its optical flourishes and attention to detail aim for the Disney gold standard and, for the most part, come pretty darn close.
		Anastasia has the Disney house style down cold, yet the magic is missing.
		Though originality is not one of its accomplishments, Anastasia is generally pleasant, serviceable and eager to please.

		Adapting the story of imperialism and revolution is tricky, and subsequently the film's opening is weak.
		Anastasia must battle the evil Rasputin, his sidekick Bartok the bat and a host of ghostly minions in a headlong race to reach Paris and reclaim her rightful destiny.
		The film tells the story of Anya, an orphan who can remember little of her early life.

	Anastasia (1997)
		He presses her to pose as Anastasia in order to obtain the exiled dowager empress's fortunes.
		As the unearthing of the Romanov family's remains at Ekaterinberg in 1991 has conclusively proved (except to all bar the Russian Orthodox Church), Anastasia did not manage to escape the same fate as the rest of the Romanovs - of being assassinated by the Bolsheviks in 1917.
		Indeed the film rather amazingly comes out to state that the entire Revolution was not a people's uprising against a cruel and incompetent aristocracy but rather was all down to the fl-hearted Rasputin selling his soul in revenge for being banned from the Tsar's court.

		This being a children's film, the story of the legendary disappearance of the Romanov princess has been altered to accommodate mad magician Rasputin (voiced by Lloyd), who instigates public revolt by casting a spell on the entire royal family.
		Enter con-man Dimitri (Cusack), who starts by exploiting 'Anastasia', and ends by falling in love with her.
		Bluth has rediscovered the ingredients of quality mainstream animation: depth and movement are more in evidence, and the action sequences are expertly staged, notably a harrowing train crash.

	SendMeMovies.com - Anastasia (1997) - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Based on the legend of the real-life daugher of the last Russian czar, ANASTASIA combines imaginative animation and lively songs to tell the story of a princess who escapes a horrible execution and mysteriously reappears after being thought dead.
		But the resurgence of the long-lost Anastasia also attracts the attention of the scary Rasputin (Christopher Lloyd), who, with his hilarious sidekick, Bartok the bat (Hank Azaria), schemes to do in the last Romanov.
		Though much lighter (thankfully for children) than the 1956 Anatole Litvak-directed ANASTASIA adapted from Marcelle Maurette's play, this movie is still packed with thrills, chills, and romance.

	Anastasia (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The haunting, poignant "Once Upon a December" sequence, one of the finest scenes in any recent film, is unforgettable, as we watch Anya's yearnings take the form of a ghostly dance with memories of a vanished life.
		And the final reunion where hostility melts gradually into acceptance, is one of the most moving and satisfying moments in film.
		Everything about the film bespeaks loving attention and quality: the magnificent animation and design re-create lavish Russian and Parisian locations (complete with recognizable artworks and cameos by celebrities of the '20s), and the screenplay balances action, humor, and genuine emotion.

		From the Zhivago-gone-Broadway opening number "A Rumor in St. Petersburg" to the Oscar-nominated get-up-and-sing "Journey to the Past," the CD is filled with bright numbers, including low-key pop versions of several of the songs.
		Using a waltz motif that is heard throughout the film, the song--with sparse lyrics--builds into a sweeping and memorable number.
		The songs from the Anastasia soundtrack are wonderful, especially Once Upon a December and Journey to the Past.
