Anastasia [Blu-ray] [1997]

Part musical this children's drawn film is based on the story of Anastasia.The way the film was created was very artistically done with a fantastic group of voices and some memorable music.Anastasia is an orphan, a grifter wants to audition for an Anastasia, finding no one yet he repairs to the palace where he squats. Inside he finds a girl who could be what he is looking for.Taking her to Paris and teaching her all she needs to know, they both find out that she may be what he was looking for all along in more ways than one.It has a few harsher scenes when the bad guys hit the scene so might not be suitable for the very young but the story is endearing and beautifully told. Certainly worth a look. It has been one of my favourites for a long time.Picture and sound amazing with the Bluray.

Oh My Goodness - This Bluray is FANTASTIC! It is awash with so many extras including BARTOK THE MAGNIFICENT, which is a whole extras film. Also, as this is both Bluray & DVD you'll be able to watch it on any player. I love this film. Presented in its proper ratio(s) it is such a joy. Myself and my girls love this. It's the film Disney wish they had made and ex-Disney animator Don Bluth (An American Tale / The Secret of NIMH) actually did make. The songs are genuinely fabulous, ad the animation is excellent. Meg Ryan, John Cusack, Cristopher Lloyd, Kelsey Grammer, Hank Azaria, Burnadette Peters, Kirsten Dunst and Angela Lansbury make this an all star cast and a wonderful film.2.35:1 Anastasia1.33:1 Bartok (this is its original ratio)

A wonderful classic from my childhood that I wanted to share with my children. The quality of the picture is great and the price point is too. My children now love this. 100% recommend.Pros: Classic animated filmQuality is goodPackaged goodGreat value for moneyCons: None

From the story, to the animation, to the songs, even as an adult i could watch this over and over.

Nothing wrong with the DVD itself - just that the film is dull. Younger kids may like it - but as a parent, you'll need a LOT of patience to sit through the songs.

My favourite non Disney princess movie! Such catchy songs and a lovely storyline! Good movie for kids!

This film is so well made that it often gets mistaken for a disney film although it is a 20th century fox production. But that shows the quality of the musicality and animation as well as the story telling. I certainly hold it high in my very large collection of animated films (Proberly 80+) which is over run by disney! If you have not seen this, firstly why not?! And secondly do it now this was an excellent price when I purchased this product.

This is a Blu-Ray review.A wonderful film with lost of entertaining bonus features.
