What is Anastasia the movie about?

Answer 1

The plot of the l997 Fox ( for the umpteenth time it is not a Disney opus) cartoon film takes some ( too many) liberties with the tale of the Girl Czarina and her alleged survival. for one thing, too woo the juvenile audience they make her out to be about a pre-teen child in l9l6, when they claim the Palace Revolution ( at St. Petersburg) took place. It is not directly stated but strongly applied that her savior and boyfriend Dimitri is an IKGB ( Imperial KGB) man but this is not directly stated- in one scene he shows his cased badge ( in red and gold) to a railroad conductor looking for fares and papers.The film takes other liberties with history- first of all Anastasia was l7 when the Massacre occured- in Ekaterinberg- not St. Petersburg- she is much younger in the film. How she could have gone in hiding as a child ( she falls from an observation car in the exodus to Paris- her Grandmother- who had gotten out of Russia years earlier- makes the trip to Paris-. again historical error- Empress Marie fled Russia early and was settled down in Denmark-not Paris. This, an ominous Occult presence- where Rasputin is almost a Frankenstein-like Mad scientist in some ways- and other historical innacuracies flake the works. The Anastasia saga in real life did not touch Paris, which plays a big part in the film . ( Paris holds the Key) the Amy Irving mini-series clung more closely to both the facts and the alleged facts- I personnaly believe Stacy did get out of USSR alive- but quite different than the film version of Mr. Bluth. There you have it, Comrade. Stacy"s dog, Pooka- a Russian wolfhound is shown throughout the film as a puppy or miniature dog- even though several years have unwound- the Borzoi or Russian wolfhound-indeed the national breed is a rather large canine- one dwarfs diminutive Ronnie Spector in photos.

Answer 2

There is no film by this title. there is a cartoon by Sony- The Secret of Anastasia, which takes some liberties with the original plot- and has some of her family members re-incarnated as musical instruments- which Stacy finds on a baggage car. Odd ( Bandwagon) approach! this is entirely different than the Fox version. seems to ride the ghost winds of ( Beauty and the Beast) which uses the reverse process- inanimate objects becoming living people.

Answer 3

A legend based on the possible survival ( aided by an IKGB man, Dimitri) of the lost Princess, more accurately Czarevna- crown princess of Grand Ducal rank- Anastasia Romanov. There are a number of historical errors in the cartoon apart from the Occult nonsense about Rasputin. Revolution- particularily massacre- occured in l9l8, not l9l6. Stacy was Seventeen years and one month when all H broke loose!- in the film she is a preadolescent child. Happened in Ekaterinberg, not St. Petersberg, though that, too was a free-fire zone! there are numerous other errors and distortions, but I do believe she got out- and eventually landed in the USA in l922, the year of Diaspora. There was a Manhattan skyscraper in a pre-production Anastasia poster- but the later ones have the Eiffel tower. Manhattan does not figure in the film, but it did in real life!

Anna and the King is a movie starring Jodie Foster and Tom Felton. The movie is partially based on the novel Anna and the King of Siam, which was released in 1944. The plot deals with an English teacher who moves to Siam to teach English to the king's wives and children. The king and Anna discuss their cultural differences and learn about each other and become friends.
