I really, as someone who KNOWS the truth about Czar Nicholas still cannot hate this movie, and I cannot understand how the Nostalgia Chick hates this movie.. IDK it was somewhat better than a Disney movie considering Anya had no talking animal sidekick or magic to help her, much less Dimitri wasn't a prince.
@DimitrisduchessXD Nostalgia Chick seems to hate things because she gets overly political about them a lot of the time. Where Critic actually looks at editing, dialogue and so on Chick has a habit of viewing things through the eyes of an uber-Feminist IMO.
Of course, for some weird reason she goes with good films rather than reviewing the bad stuff which is what the whole Nostalgia thing is about. It's funny reviews of bad films, not picking at good ones.
Little low quality but beautiful nonetheless. I tear up a little but not for the same reasons as everyone else. When little Alexi comes out he is limping. He had Hemophilia, as do I and my uncles and my cousins. The medicine was virtually shit and he was in such pain when he walked. The actual Rasputin did the best possible thing for him by having his doctors stop giving him Asprin. He wasn't a bad guy, just greedy. Who isn't though...
I had to put my homework down, get goosebumps, smile and listen. Throug all these years i can still remember this beutiful song. it´s to beutiful and perfekt to stop listening and i just want do dance graciously with the music an fly to heaven.
Sad now russia is with bribery vodca and plastic prostitute..miss the old russia. Well the old russia wouldnt look all fancy lovely like this movie. The Romanovs were not like this. But anastasia did not deserve to die
@Shinyrelic not a disney, but its about the romanovs, and stretches historical facts (dont get me wrong, this was my favorite childhood movie.) but its about a conartist trying to get the reward being offered by anastasia's grandmother so they are getting this girl to act as anastasia (they dont know that she really IS anastasia.) for the most part its got her backstory between the assassination of the czar and when she leaves the orphanage and then her journey to act as anastasia. its great :D
this a terrible video. stop posting videos of such horrible quality. only GOOD videos belong on youtube, on that note, can someone permanently delete Adele off of YouTube? thanks!
Fun fact: to make all the luxurious clothing and jewelry Anastasia remembers in this song, 1500 serfs were worked to death and 6000 serf children were orphaned! Long live the Czar!
I don't know about you guys, but when I was little and saw the part 0:41 to 0:55 I was always so scared! I mean, I love this movie and all, but dancing ghosts and dramatic music? I was terrified! X)
wow. theres so much i COULD say, but id run out of space. i love this movie. this is my favorite scene. this is my favorite song. I DONT CARE THAT ITS NOT 'HISTORICALLY ACCURATE'. i wanted Dream Waltz Anastasia (the one w/ the yellow dress from this song) and Grand Opera Anastasia (the purple dress one). i have the soundtrack from itunes. i can quote the entire opening. i drew her in the opera scene by freezing the tape at that part & traced over it and colored it in. i have the original vhs.
I remember seeing part of this movie when I was eight and but I knew this was gonna be my favorite part out of the whole movie. Saw the whole movie and it still is my favorite part. It's sad, enchanting and hauntingly beautiful.
I love this movie, love the story behind it whether it was dark or not. This was when movies whether they were animations or real were great, cant find gold like this nowadays. I love this and always will.
If I knew how to sew I would've made one already or re-created Ezio's Assassin outfit. But, I gotta say I envy you. Do you have a picture of how it looked like when your mom was finished?
@1Kikyofan1 Because this isn't Disney? It's 21st Century Fox. Although this, admittedly, I love more than even my favorite Disney movie. I can essentially quote it from memory. And Liz Callaway's voice? Absolutely to DIE for. If I could sing half as well as her, I wouldn't be sitting on my couch commenting on how amazing she is.
I love this song. I danced the Viennese Waltz to this for my father/daughter dance at my Sweet 16 almost 4 years ago, even though it seems longer than that. I think the brief moment in the song when Anastasia dances with her father was what made me pick this song.
I'm still upset that we only found out the camera wasn't recording after we finished the dance, but this song still brings back so many amazing memories of that day and all the days my dad and I spent practicing for that moment. <3
@beautyineverythingxx Not trying to start an argument, but actually Liz Callaway provided the singing voice for Anastasia. You can check imdb if you don't believe me.
@thesimsfan113 lol, why would you be trying to start an argument? and yeah, i double-checked and you're right.my mistake. lacey does SOMEONE'S singing voice in this movie, though.
At 17, I can now fully appreciate this films greatness. I studied Russia as part of my SG, then Higher history school courses and I'm very impressed by this film. As a childrens film it can't accurately depict the true events surrounding the films plot, but it's great nevertheless. It's heartbreaking actually. When I see that shot of Tsar Nicholas, with his son and wife walking behind him towards his youngest daughter, GOOSEBUMPS! Sorry for the serious comment. Both film and song are stunning!
@TigressWhite The song was speaking about how Anastasia died [along with her family members] on July 17, 1878 [July 16th in the Far East]. The dancing bears represented the assassins [big, burly men] who killed her family off while the painted wings were guns the assassins used in order to rebuke them for having valuable finances and still reading the Bible. The figures dancing gracefully were the men walking all over the palace to rob stuff and she blacks out on the bed.
@xxxTITINGxxx That "killing them makes you no different" mentalality is ridiculous. Killing thousands=/=killing one, especially that was the person who was killing thousands. Stop using a movie (a great one, tbh) for your history knowledge.
You do not know how horrible Russia was in that time. Which they were convinced was completely the fault of the government. Which isn't much of a stretch. Killing them was the only solution. That's just the truth.
@Politoed89 Actually, killing them was more of a simbolyc act rather than a need, the rebels alredy had the power of the goverment and the zar and his family were asking to leave the country to go to france, and the chances of building an army to gain power back were unexistant. And russia was so dameged because of war, its wasnt that this particular zar was worst than the others
@xxxTITINGxxx heh, their family taxed the hell out of people and shot their own citizens in front of the palace this song is set in...I *adore* this movie, and the nostalgia for glittering royalty kind of gets to me too, but I don't really feel bad they're gone. their "martyrdom" is played up because everyone hated communists, but they were brutal and tyrannical rulers all the same. fabulous sense of style: yes. nice people? not really.
@irgy709 ,The children didn,t deserve to be killed for the sins/misdeeds of the father.Also the way in which the Romanovs were got rid of,couldn,t the romanov rule just have been overthrown.
@ThePearlofeire if people wanted them to go raise an army and kill thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people in an attempt to reinstate their dynasty, then yes. I never said I wanted them to die, but they weren't innocents or saints by any stretch of the imagination. children who are heirs to thrones have been used to start wars for centuries. killing them could very realistically have saved thousands of lives. doesn't make it right, but history isn't black/white good/evil.
a little awkward when i realized that that last guy she danced with was...you know...her father. and not like...a potential suitor or something. *cough cough*
@WendySunVal I still have the original Anastasia doll. The original dress has been torn to shreds but I kept the doll in the princess outfit instead of the rags.
@TheKsourmoon i used to have that doll when i was little, and the doll where she wears the dress to the russian ballet. the yellow one was my favourite, if i remember correctly it came with a stand she twirled on and a tape with this song on...
@slayercl no last time i saw this movie i was problely 4 or even 3 now im 12 and i havent seen this movie in so long cause i lost the tape pluse i dont have a VCR anymore. Now i want to see it because i never really got to understand it when i was younger.
@Shadowed4Love Yea. After posting this and seeing another vid of Odette singing in Swan Princess that informed me of Liz Callaway (at the related videos section), I regretted almost immediately what I said. But I SWEAR the artist on my mp3 said Lea Salonga (what the heck?) Did she sing that too?? But either way I love the song, and I'd be upset to hear if what I heard for over 10 years is not Liz Callaway XD
I have this mp3 and I listen to this 10 years ago to this day. No kidding. This is one of the "perfect" songs I came across. So ridiculously hard to sing, and Lea Salonga nailed EVERY part carefully and PERFECTLY.
I STILL get the chills listening to it, especially when I watch the video together. I mean, look! The video was just so epic! Ghost of the past...when they just came out my goosebumps came out with it. Oh God. The joy of music....
Maybe it's just me or maybe it's just because it is just the circumstance that the girl is under, but, the moment that Anastasia and her father start dancing with each other makes my heart swell. :3
I like how in the lyrics it doesnt seem like what she misses is the wealth. She remembers more of the feeling of belonging somewhere and having people around. Makes it so much easier to sympathize with her
i get this strange sad feeling when i see her sisters and parents appear on the stairs and then shes dancing with her father and i want to cry because her life was taken from her.. and if the tragedy had never happened, she would actually be there with her family
Why do people keep saying it is Dancing Pairs?? When is the last time you have seen a pair dance people?!? And she is looking at a vase with dancing bears on it! The dancing bears thing in Russia is horrible, but I think it would be quite obvious that she isn't singing about moving fruit xD wonderful song though, my favorite. Even though it is incredibly sad.
@TheNeonLime i agree about the dancing bears part as it is obviously those lyrics but when people say pairs they mean like a couple. the fruit is spelled pear and couple is spelled pair.. i hate the english language and having the same word meaning 2 different things :P
@DannyFDNY part of what you say is true but if someone kills your dad or anyone in your family takes most of what you know as to be your life you will put heart and soul into there utter destruction by doubling or at least causing them the same pain they caused you
@pinkheartscutie no it's "dancing bears". Notice the dancing bears on the vase she touches in the beginning of the song. it's one of the things that jog her memory, which causes her to sing the song.
Besides Anastasia, I feel sorry for her father and little bother. The poor kid was sick, and they killed him! Nicholas Romanov loved his children and risked his throne and empire to save them from persecution. Unfortunatly, we all know what happened to them.
I can't understand politicans, or governments; they'd kill for power. We don't need monarchies, polictions, or 'so-called democracies'! We need humantarians to rule the world & elect someone like Ghadi, Mother Theresa, or MLK 4 President.
I loved this film as a kid :) still know this song by heart even though I'm nearly 18!

@WendySunVal I still have the original Anastasia doll. The original dress has been torn to shreds but I kept the doll in the princess outfit instead of the rags.

@TheKsourmoon i used to have that doll when i was little, and the doll where she wears the dress to the russian ballet. the yellow one was my favourite, if i remember correctly it came with a stand she twirled on and a tape with this song on...

@spiritfired Liz Callaway is the singing voice of Anastasia not Lea Salonga xD
If I'm not mistaken, Lea only sang the singing voices of Mulan and Princess Jasmine [ i'm only talking about Disney movies ].

@Shadowed4Love Yea. After posting this and seeing another vid of Odette singing in Swan Princess that informed me of Liz Callaway (at the related videos section), I regretted almost immediately what I said. But I SWEAR the artist on my mp3 said Lea Salonga (what the heck?) Did she sing that too?? But either way I love the song, and I'd be upset to hear if what I heard for over 10 years is not Liz Callaway XD

I have this mp3 and I listen to this 10 years ago to this day. No kidding. This is one of the "perfect" songs I came across. So ridiculously hard to sing, and Lea Salonga nailed EVERY part carefully and PERFECTLY.
I STILL get the chills listening to it, especially when I watch the video together. I mean, look! The video was just so epic! Ghost of the past...when they just came out my goosebumps came out with it. Oh God. The joy of music....

Maybe it's just me or maybe it's just because it is just the circumstance that the girl is under, but, the moment that Anastasia and her father start dancing with each other makes my heart swell. :3

the best part is when the people are dancing out of the portraits and the music picks up.

I like how in the lyrics it doesnt seem like what she misses is the wealth. She remembers more of the feeling of belonging somewhere and having people around. Makes it so much easier to sympathize with her

i get this strange sad feeling when i see her sisters and parents appear on the stairs and then shes dancing with her father and i want to cry because her life was taken from her.. and if the tragedy had never happened, she would actually be there with her family

Probably the best scene in the movie, and the one truest to the tragedy of Anastasia.

Why do people keep saying it is Dancing Pairs?? When is the last time you have seen a pair dance people?!? And she is looking at a vase with dancing bears on it! The dancing bears thing in Russia is horrible, but I think it would be quite obvious that she isn't singing about moving fruit xD wonderful song though, my favorite. Even though it is incredibly sad.

What`s wrong with 'pair'. It means 'couple' doesn`t it?
Dancing bears were only in different fairs not palaces
MsAnastasiya1991 7 months ago
@TheNeonLime i agree about the dancing bears part as it is obviously those lyrics but when people say pairs they mean like a couple. the fruit is spelled pear and couple is spelled pair.. i hate the english language and having the same word meaning 2 different things :P

@DannyFDNY part of what you say is true but if someone kills your dad or anyone in your family takes most of what you know as to be your life you will put heart and soul into there utter destruction by doubling or at least causing them the same pain they caused you

@pinkheartscutie no it's "dancing bears". Notice the dancing bears on the vase she touches in the beginning of the song. it's one of the things that jog her memory, which causes her to sing the song.

Besides Anastasia, I feel sorry for her father and little bother. The poor kid was sick, and they killed him! Nicholas Romanov loved his children and risked his throne and empire to save them from persecution. Unfortunatly, we all know what happened to them.
I can't understand politicans, or governments; they'd kill for power. We don't need monarchies, polictions, or 'so-called democracies'! We need humantarians to rule the world & elect someone like Ghadi, Mother Theresa, or MLK 4 President.
