Watch Anastasia For Free

Absolutely Fantastic

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Anastasia is by far the only good Don Bluth movie from the 90's. Considering his earlier 90's movies which were terrible. This was the only one to make any money, and that is mainly because, let's face it, he surrendered to the hegemony of the Disney-formula with princesses and romance and musical song-and-dance numbers. It's by no means the worst thing he could do, because the final product turned out pretty damn well. As long as you do not mind the history aspect of the story. It is fiction with characters named after historical personalities, nothing more. Just like Disney's "Pocahontas", but done a million times better. The characters are well made and play off each other very well, indeed. The villain we get is well balanced between being silly and intimidating. And he, in my opinion, has the greatest song in the movie! Damn, "In the Dark of the Night" is awesome with great animated movement, a prominent choir which adds to the grandeur of it and a great build-up from start to finish. The other songs are good, too. "Once Upon a December" is melodic and catchy with a beautifully animated scene when it is being played for the first time in the movie. I sometimes wonder why that one wasn't nominated for the Acedemy Award for best original song, but settled for a Golden Globe nomination. Personally, I don't find "Journey to the Past" that spectacular. I like Anastasia, but i'm still kind of torn on it, because it still buys so much into the Disney-formula that many casual movie-goers still refer to it as "that Disney movie". I like it, but I prefer Bluth's movies from the 80's.

omgg!! This movie is so great!!!! The songs, the animation, the voice work, it's all so magical and it takes you on an amazing adventure. You really want Anastasia to know who she really is and you want her to know where she came from. I love that all of the characters have such great chemistry and they all are a great team. I love the romance in the movie as well.

This movie is very special to me because it's a movie that my grandma and I used to watch together before she died. I feel like I am Anastasia sometimes because I lost my grand mother however I can't find mine as easily as she did. I love how Dimitri started to remember her and then fell for her all over again. The music is amazing and the music box will always be iconic. I actually have my own music box that is special to me because it keeps me close to my grandma. My favorite song will always be "Once Upon a December" and every time I hear it or sing it I start to think about her and all these memories start flooding back. This is my absolute favorite movie ever and I will never get sick of it. I always use the kids as an excuse to watch it.

The first time i watched this movie, i was 10. Now, i am 22 and i still love this movie. I don't know why people don't give good enough rating for this movie ( maybe because it's different from it real story or because the story it's not quite deep? i don't know since, i don't read the history. Even though it is different from the real story, we should keep in mind that this movie is a fantasy movie not a biographical one. It is targeted for younger audiences, so you can't blame the writer to imbued the story with magical things ).As a kid, i watched this movie as a love story when a lost princess who tried to get what has been lost and found much more precious things along the way.The story line is quite simple ( and i do not know that this movie is based on true story, up until now ). It's a story about Anna, how was growing as an orphan, not knowing or remember who she is. Then someday, she went on a journey with 2 man, Dimitri and Vladimir ( and a dog ) to find her real identity. Fantasy, Love, Adventure, History,you can find thus mix of feelings in this movie. The song is beautiful, i listen it a lot when i was a kid.Overall, i think it's worthwhile spending your time to watch this movie.
