Anastasia is the very first cartoon movie produced by the 20th Century Fox, known to have also distributed, later, Titanic and some other big successes.
Produced in 1997, the movie hitted the theaters in November of 1997.
The history of the cartoon is inspired by the born legend authors of the elimination of Romanov during the Russian Revolution : A rumour circulates in Russia, claiming that Anastasia has survived.
The movie thus redraws the route of the girl of Empress Marie, young orphan in search of her identity. She is helped by Dimitri, who sees at first in her only an interest to grow rich by receiving the ransom of the Empress, and Vlad, the young heiress will travel of St Petersbourg in Paris to discover whom she truley is..
There are no sequels are planned to this day, but a spin-off (DTV Sequel) have been released, as Bartok as the main character.

Anastasia is a full-length film realized by the 20th Century Fox, which regrettably will realize no more than three traditional cartoon movies because of Titan A.E's failure. It will be the release of the Ice Age movie, in 2002, that would make the 20th Century Fox back in the movie making business.
The 20th Century Fox is one of the most important production companies of the cinema industry. Their biggest success have been: this day Adversity, by James Cameron. It was created in 1915, originally under the name of Fox Film. In these debuts, the studio which we know today was mainly interested in the theater. The company developed very quickly, and in 1926, it made the 1,2 km acquisition ² of ground in the campaign on the West of Beverly Hills, where it made build Movieton City, the biggest cinema studio of its time. However, William Fox became bankrupt. With more than 500 theaters, Fox Film was placed in compulsory liquidation. The only choice which offered itself then to allow the studio to survive was a "fusion", and so in spring, 1935, its taken place with the Twenty Century Picturnes, the independent and very powerful organization. It is from there that we know its current name: The 20th Century Fox, renowned for its licenses.

I don't like this movie much; it was very clich� (the love story). But
I did love the animation- it was beautiful! |

As a history nut, I was very impressed with the historical accuracy to
this movie. For example, Rasputin was a real person, and was believed
to have magical powers. It was Rasputin who made Alexandra Romanov
become distracted to the nation as her husband, Czar Nicholas II was
out in the frontlines of the loseing WWI, thus allowing Lenin to gain
his foothold to the people of Russia. I was very happy they had
Rasputin as the bad guy, and with one of the best songs, in my
opinion, in animations by him. |

If I may point out a mistake: Young Anastasia's voice was actually
Lacey Chabert [also the voice of Aleu in Balto II: Wolf Quest], not
Kirsten Dunst. Hope this helps! |
