      Susan Wloszczyna USA Today Flawed but not fatally, this ambitious epic's strength lies not just with its haunting melodies, pretty pictures, star voices and kid-friendly sidekicks... What gives Anastasia its edge is that most elusive of ingredients, an emotionally gripping script. Rated: 3/4 Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Carol Buckland CNN.com Anastasia is OK entertainment. But it never reaches a level of emotional magic. Jan 5, 2018 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) A passable clone, but for all its technical accomplishments, a movie that does not have the magic. Rated: C+ Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Anastasia is another of Don Bluth’s attempts to wrest control of the genre that remains inferior in nearly every way, except one. Rated: 3/4 Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Bianca Garner In Their Own League The world of “Anastasia” seems well-developed and lived-in. There’s a sense of realism contained in the film’s scenery.

      Joel H Anastasia is probably the best non-Disney Disney movie out there. The animation, the musical numbers, the all-star cast, and the humor all mimic the style of Disney movies of the 90s. And while there many aspects of this movie that I enjoy, one of the weakest links in the chain is the voice acting. At times, it’s as if I can see Meg Ryan, John Cusack, and Christopher Lloyd reading their lines in a recording booth instead of Anastasia, Dimitri, and Rasputin speaking with each other. And while Anastasia is far from realistic, it’s a good introduction to the fascinating true story of the Romanov family. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Jymski Una película mágica luego de los fracasos en esa época, verla es una bocanada de aire fresco, yo siendo fan de la ciencia social e historia, que este basada en un hecho real como lo es la realeza rusa durante un período de revoluciones es maravilloso, si bien unos dicen que mucha ficción hablamos de Disney, visual y sonoramente es una película magnífica en todo el sentido de la palabra. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Derek L 20th Century Fox's animated Anastasia is such a magical journey from start to finish that almost eclipses the magic of Disney animation. The plot and story was very well written, along with the engaging characters that were carried out by its talented cast. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Justice T This movie is so infesting. Overall I really like it but boy are there some pacing problems! If you can look past some odd creative decisions I think the movie works. I love the music ever so much! Has some great character development too! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Gabriel Emil C This is probably the one film to rival Disney Renaissance films, because of its sweet story and understandable animation Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Soumili G Beautiful film and i was most mesmerized by the smooth and elegant animation it had specially for it's time. Talented artists never fail to amaze me. This was a wonderful movie the music and songs were beautiful too ❤️. Thanks alot to everyone who were behind this beautiful film.
