I do enjoy the Golden Films Animations, they are cute, charming and entertaining with great music and sweet characters. Before I do get judged for rating this one low, I was hoping I would like it. I loved Golden Films' versions of Thumbelina, Pinocchio and The Little Mermaid especially, and while I was not expecting another Don Bluth Anastasia I was really disappointed with this one. It is not completely bad though. Anastasia is a sweet and likable titular character, and the voice acting is also not bad with the best coming from the voice actors of Anastasia and Rasputin. But the best asset was the music, which was outstanding. Not just the songs, with Anastasia and Alexander's duet the best, but Never Ending Circle is charming and Rasputin's song is enough to make your hairs stick up, but also the classical music choices from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and Nutcracker, Mussorgsky's Night on Bare Mountain, Dvorak's Slavonic Dances to Rimsky Korsakov's Sheherazade and Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries(plus a piece that sounded like one of Brahms' Hungarian Dances. However, the animation seemed rushed and lacking in fluidity, with some of the colours rather flat-looking and of the character designs Anastasia was the only one who convinced. Alexander certainly is handsome, but looks like a less well-animated version of Prince Eric. The characters I was mixed on, again Anastasia was the best and Rasputin showed menace and potential(I found him in his scenes to be more believable than the Rasputin in Bluth's version) but in the last quarter he disappears and is never mentioned again. The Royal Family seemed underdeveloped with Anastasia's mother(Alexandra was it not?) having very little to do, and Alexander was dashing but somewhat bland. The script was uneven for me, the scene where Anastasia and Alexander first meet seemed on the forced side and could've lasted a little longer and the more comedic moments with the bird friends(a sign of political correctness if you ask me) seemed out of place at times. But the story was the biggest debit(if I was to ignore the many inaccuracies for a second) rather thin and takes quite some time to get going. The scenes leading up to the terrible event seemed to lack tension, and even as a child I was underwhelmed by the ending, very abrupt and brought about many questions, especially the business regarding Rasputin and the "greatest adventure" part of the synopsis was misleading(I can't tell you why without giving it away). So all in all, loved the music and Anastasia herself, but I was disappointed by the story and the animation especially. 4/10 Bethany Cox

With an art style of a coloring book, and an obnoxiously loud soundtrack, this is the worst movie I've seen. The beginning seemed like any knockoff but it was Soo much more later in the film. If you tied me to a chair and asked me what the plot was, I'd say just end me. The music never stopped and was way to loud, it felt like I was in the basic orchestra that constantly played, there was not one second of silence and when it ended I thought I went deaf. The movie is only less than an hour but it felt like ten years. The animation was atrocious and I feel bad for whatever animation studio that had to make this. The only way to watch this is ether high or drunk, this is the tourture method the CIA uses for the worst of the worst criminals. I can not explain this movie in human words, it's like a duty for you to watch, you just need to get it over with.
Historically accurate, moving, amusing, everything we seek is in this masterpiece. Breathtaking landscapes, extremely realistic dialogues, this film has the gift of going very fast, while telling nothing. Which is unprecedented.
Such well-written songs that have nothing to envy to the original.
However, despite the perfection of this film, there's still some downsides: 1) Not enough flashbacks. Sometimes I forget what had happened just before (like Anastasia lmao) and during these moments, a little flashbask would have been necessary:/ 2) Not enough birds. The little talking birds were my favorite characters, and I regret that they did not appear enough.
If you're passionate about history, a musicals lover or just looking to spend a pleasant moment with your family, then go for it, this movie is for you.
