Anastasia

I knew the story of the Russian princess Anastasia from the 1956 live action version with Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brinner, but this animated adaptation works well for a young audience.

After Rasputin successfully incites a revolt against the Russian Czar, the entire royal family is murdered, except for the Queen Mother, who escapes to Paris, France, and Anastasia, who is separated from her grandmother and remains in Russia.

The movie tells the story of how Anastasia, who has lost all memory of that fateful night along with her past, will finally reunite with her grandmother and find love in the process.

A good movie for the whole family.

Grade: 7
