Anastasia (1997)

Anastasia (1997) is one of those animated movies that feels like pure magic from start to finish ✨👑. It’s based (loosely) on the legend of the lost Russian princess, and it mixes history, fantasy, and a bit of Broadway sparkle. The story follows Anya, a fearless orphan with no memory of her past, who might just be the missing Grand Duchess Anastasia 😲❄️.

She teams up with Dimitri and Vlad — two charming con men who want to pass her off as royalty to collect a reward. But as their journey to Paris unfolds, clues from Anya’s past start clicking into place… and things get real 🕊️🎀

Of course, there’s a villain: the creepy Rasputin, back from the dead (and falling apart, literally) who’s determined to end the Romanov bloodline once and for all 😬💀. Add in stunning animation, sweeping songs like “Journey to the Past”, and sizzling chemistry between Anya and Dimitri, and you’ve got an unforgettable fairy tale.

It’s funny, emotional, dramatic, and totally rewatchable. Anastasia isn’t your typical princess story — it’s about identity, family, and finding where you truly belong. And honestly? It’s iconic 💖🌍🎶
