1997’s ANASTASIA is a Disney movie in all but name (and it was distributed by 20th Century Fox, so … long game), but I had never seen it before this week; in fact, I was only vaguely aware of it, and was happy to find that it’s cute and enjoyable for adult viewers, too. The starry cast was probably an unnecessary expense since most of the voices don’t stand out, but I liked the animation and most of the songs. I could have done without the villain Rasputin’s cute bat sidekick (the cute animal quota was ably filled already by Anastasia’s dog, Pooka), and there should have maybe been a little more suspense for the viewer about whether things would work out. Overall, though, I liked Anastasia and am glad I finally saw it.
