Trivia
Liz Callaway was called at the last minute by Flaherty and Ahrens to substitute for a singer who couldn't make the recording session of the temp tracks for Fox. Her tracks of the songs were liked so much they led to her subsequent casting as the singing voice of Anastasia. See more »Goofs
When Rasputin is outraged at the ball at the beginning of the movie, he destroys one of the big chandeliers in the great hall. We clearly see it crashing into the floor. However, when - 10 years later - Anastasia returns to the same hall, all chandeliers in the great hall are shown to be intact. See more »Quotes

Finally, an animated film that not only lives up to the high standards set by Disney, but also surpasses them in some ways. My husband is a HUGE Disney fan/apologist/defender, and even he likes this one in spite of the fact that it is made by that "traitor" Don Bluth. ;-) I thought the animation in this movie was great, but that's not the main reason I enjoyed it. I really liked the storyline that is actually interesting to adults. Disney cartoons are great, but often I find myself bored with them after a while because they have the same theme over and over (teenager breaking out of their boring life by mixing with VIPs). ANASTASIA thankfully added more to the basic plot of growing up and moving on. The only complaint I have is that the villain (Rasputin) and his weirdo bat friend didn't seem to have much of a point in the film. I can easily forgive that though, since everything else was so great. Meg Ryan and John Cusack both did a wonderful job voicing their characters. Yeah, the history here is totally screwed up, but I guess I'm a pig-headed American because I have no trouble looking past that. Overall I give this a 8/10. Hats off to Don Bluth for crafting a wonderful bit of competition for the Mouse.
