I never saw this movie as a kid- since “The Little Mermaid” was being shown in theaters at the same time this was, I opted for that film.
However, finally watching this movie as a teenager I really wish I had seen it on th widescreen.
We have the tale of Anya- a “nobody” as she puts it, without a real name, past or family. Her only clue? A necklace with the words “Together In Paris” enscribed on it.
It’s a beautifuly done movie, breathtaking animation- how can you NOT get shivers up and down your spine during the “Once Upon A December” scene? I know I can’t. Rasputin in the cartoon looks rather like his historical counterpart, very, very creepy. I rather enjoyed how they made him “Undead” as in real life he was VERY hard to kill. (I don’t remember HOW many times they attempted to kill Rasputin.)
Other than Rasputins looks, and several smaller details, the movie is largely historically unaccurate, but wonderful nontheless.
My one complaint? Sometimes Don’s animation goes…. funny when he’s trying to animate humans from a particular point of view. It could be just me, but I think he has that problem in ALL his animated films. (With the possible exception of “Titan AE”)
Either way, add this to your collection. You won’t be dissapointed.

If anyone knows the real story of Anastasia and the Romonovs and Rasputin, then they will also know that this movie doesn’t resemble the past in any true way. However, technically, this is for children and I guess they wanted to change up the story to liven things up a bit. I can understand that. At first watch, I wasn’t impressed with this film. Perhaps because I was too distracted with all the changes. However, upon my second viewing, I found myself getting into it more, and I think it had to do with all the music. This film has a wonderful soundtrack. I especially love the hauntingly beautiful ‘Once upon a December’. The other songs are all very good too. So the movie grew on me and I have watched it numerous times now. It is a pretty enjoyable movie and I’m sure anyone young and old will like it, so even with the discrepancies, I would still recommend this.

This movie is brillant! It may not be exactly true to history, but the idea is romantic. It made me want to learn about Russian culture and the Romanovs.
