Anastasia 1997 (BD) [Blu-ray]

Both adults and children love this story!

Interesting movie, great cast!

One of the best non-Disney/Pixar animated movies.

My daughter name is Anastasia so this was the perfect movie to watch for the whole family ❤️Buy it cause it's the WrightWayLoves ☺️💕

I remember this movie airing on TV a lot a few years after it came out, and having recently rewatched a lot of favorite disney movies, I decided to revisit something else from my childhood. I wasn't really expecting all that much out of it, but even as an adult, I think this is a pretty great movie. It takes its starting point from historical events, but turns into a very sweet fairy tale about family and finding yourself. Its obviously in the DIsney Princess tradition, and I enjoyed it as much as any of those films. The characters are a lot of fun, and its nice that we see Dimitri and Anya spending enough time together for a plausible romance to develop. While the villain, Rasputin, can be quite comical, there are also some genuinely scary scenes, such as when Anya almost jumps off the boat while in an enchanted dream about her forgotten family. The animation is quite beautiful, and I was specially moved by the sequence where Anya wanders through the old palace, seeing ghosts of her former life. The glitz and glamour of Paris are also well-depicted, and images such as a Chanel store and the Moulin Rouge remind us that this film is set in our own world, not too long ago. There's something about the way Anya uncovers her past, with the haunting song (Once Upon a December), the necklace and the music box, that gives the film a really beautiful magical quality. All in all, I would say that this film is a bit of a forgotten gem that I definitely recommend. Of course, there is the undeniable fact that this movie takes a troublesome time from history and gives it the fairy tale treatment, and it can definitely be perceived as trivializing the events of the Russian Revolution. In my own mind, I was able to disassociate the film from history fairly easily, and I treated it as a separate entity. If you're a person who doesn't like the idea of watching a movie that glosses over unhappy historical events and gives them the fantasy treatment, this movie probably isn't for you.

I remember loving this movie as a child and decided to get the DVD for my own children to watch. They enjoyed it as much as I did! The music is catchy and sounds pleasant. The story kept their attention. I just love the classic look of animation from the 90s. The story is very loosely based on history and is a wonderful fantasy tale to go along.

I originally owned this film in the late 90s, on VHS. While I was repurchasing Disney films, I came to a fork in the road. There was one film from my childhood that was not a Disney film that I still enjoyed as much as I did back when I was a kid, and that was Anastasia from Don Bluth.Don Bluth originally worked for Disney, but left to form his own studio. Many know him for "An American Tail," and "The Secret of NIMH," but over time Bluth decided to make a film that was almost on par with what Disney had made, and that was Anastasia. The story takes place in Russia, where the young Anastasia is separated from her family. Believed to be dead, Anastasia has amnesia and lives as an orphan up until she is a teenager (or what we can assume is a young adult), and then discovers that she may have a past that includes what she's always been searching for: her family.The story is not historically accurate, but is a "Disney-fied" version. I enjoy it, nonetheless, as a story that ages well over the years. I am 27 years old, and still enjoy it as much as I did as a child. I can't say that for every cartoon flick I watched as a kid, but mostly the ones that stand the test of time are Disney...with the exception to some films done by Don Bluth.I recommend this film for anyone that enjoys the story, and even is discovering the movie for the first time. Although it's not as strong as a Disney movie, it still emulates the same story that most Disney stories do, with catchy songs and a great story to tell.

Don Bluth's films are very much hit or miss, but while this doesn't quite hit the same heights as Secret of NIHM or An American Tail it is still a very beautiful, enjoyable picture. One of the problems with the film is that the animation, while fluid, tends to be a bit on the stilted side. Often the characters feel like they're stuck on a small soundstage without a lot of room to move around, even when they have huge environments to move around in. This becomes especially noticeable in the final action scenes at the end.The film also doesn't have quite the "epic" feel that a tale like this really needs, in part because of the pacing and editing. A mere minute or two more added to the film to throw in a few more lines here and there explaining character motivations and giving some of the scenes time to breathe would have gone a long way. And other than "A Rumor in St. Petersburg" the visuals in the musical numbers tend to be a little more bland than they should be. "In the Dark of the Night" is especially infamous for this. The visuals aren't nearly as interesting, inventive, or captivating as the song itself (which is, in my opinion, by far the highlight of the soundtrack).The music itself tends to be fairly forgettable, but I fault this on the aforementioned animation rather than the songs themselves. I found "Journey to the Past" especially boring the first time I watched the film, to the point where I actually gave up watching the movie and didn't come back to finish until years later. But listening to the same song later by itself on the soundtrack I really enjoyed it! It's a pity so many of the songs came across as so forgettable because they're really pretty catchy and should have been far more memorable than they ended up being in the film.All in all, this movie could have been so much better, but it still managed to get stuck in my head. There's something to say for a movie that's able to stick with you despite its faults. It'll probably get many more viewings from me in the future.

Rien à dire. Un disney des plus génial.Livraison très bien passé. Emballage correct.Neuf et je l’ai regardé tout de suite.J’attends de faire ma petite collection.

Ottimo, bel film di animazione. Molto bella la storia, bellissimi i disegni, a mia figlia di 5 anni è piaciuto tantissimo. Il DVD perfetto sia per qualità immagini e sia per l’audio. Unica cosa stonata è il packaging in quanto il DVD inserito in una semplice custodia di amaray (plastica), queste animazioni meriterebbero un packaging migliore magari in digital book o in steelbook e magari con un libricino contenente immagini e storia del film.Per il resto ottimo prezzo e spedizione rapida.

Anastasia è uno dei miei cartoni animati preferiti e non potevo certo fammi sfuggire il bluray che è sempre più difficile da trovare. Quando l’ho acquistato qui su Amazon era in offerta, anche se ho dovuto attendere qualche settimana per la spedizione in quanto il bluray non era disponibile.Anastasia non è un cartone Disney, anche se spesso lo si associa ai classici. Penso che chiunque conosca questo film d’animazione ambientato in Russia, uscito nel 1997 arrivato nelle sale nel 1998.La voce di Dimitri, il coprotagonista, è doppiata dal famosissimo Fiorello, mentre Anastasia/Anya è doppiata da Tosca, la cantante.Le canzoni che compongono il film sono molto belle, la più famosa è sicuramente “Quando viene Dicembre”, ma anche “Viaggio nel tempo” che sono le mie preferite.Il bluray ha una qualità ottima, i colori sono molto nitidi e l’audio è ottimo con il suo dolby 5.1. Comprende le lingue: italiano, tedesco, spagnolo, inglese, svedese tutte in 5.1 DTS Dolby Digital. Mentre i sottotitoli disponibili sono: Italiano, inglese, tedesco spagnolo, svedese.Comprende tantissimi contenuti speciali, sia per grandi che per piccini: - Commento dei registi - Canta con noi - Le canzoni più amate - Gioco interattivo: la matryoshka - Gioco interattivo: nel passato di Anastasia - Bartok il magnifico - Disegna con Don Bluth (il regista) - Making of - Anastasia un affascinante viaggio - Aaliyah “Journey to the past”: video musicale e making of - Trailer e spot tvNon ho ancora visto tutti i contenuti speciali presenti nel bluray, anche se mi sono gustata il film ormai più volte.Davvero un ottimo prodotto da avere nella propria collezione.

Very bad quality of CD. don't ever purchase it. It's not working at all. Money waste product.

This was purchased for a different person. I can only say that it was as described and was in good condition
