her remembering the smell of peppermint actually isn’t too far fetched because smell has the strongest link to memory/triggering memories than any other sense

The memory in the castle dancing with her dad is always so impressive visually and always makes me emotional.

I love the dialog for the reward.
"You restored her to me, you saved her life, and mine, yet you do not want your reward?"
"...not anymore."
"Why the change in mind?"
"It was more 'a change In heart.'"
"What do you want?"
"Unfortunately, nothing you can give."

The biggest difference I know of is that Anastasia was not alive the whole time. She died along with her family. But for the longest time people didn't know this, and tried to dress up women to look like her for money, like they're shown doing in here.

The main reason they believed she was alive was that when they looked over the bodies, they didn't initially find her. But they have since found her in the grave, thus exposing the scammers for what they were.

Welchy : just name the dog
Anastasia earlier in the movie calling out to the dog and saying pooka: 👁👄👁

"this movie kinda dark" did you miss the MASS MURDER of her family in the first minutes of the movie 😭

the villain song had no right to go so damn hard

she gets amnesia from head trauma when she fell 😭 and the smell of peppermint and being in familiar surroundings bring it back also her hair length is so inconsistent throughout this movie and i love that 🤣

Fun fact: trauma can cause memory loss

“So this man just dies and came back alive?”

Rasputin in a nutshell in real life basically

Of course you love Dimitri’s friend, he’s the same voice actor as your beloved Beak Man.  💜

Love how your dog was just taking it like a champ while you're tryna balance him on your head

You know how Anya hit Demetri on the train? I honestly would not be surprised at all if she had to break a few noses in order to keep her precious necklace while living in the orphanage. Children can be savage little buggers and the caretakers did not seem like kind people either. Though in communist Russia, I can't fault them for being cranky. This is a fantastic case of "Show don't tell." says I.

How does bro have a twin sister, heterochromia and is Scottish? He's just too interesting it ain't fair.

You are right, the grandmother is voiced by Angela Lansbury, thesame actress who voiced Mrs Potts in Beauty and the Beast.

20:11 Welchy the film of Anastasia is based on an urban myth about Anastasia “survived” her family massacre. The film became a financial hit for Don Bulth and Gary Goldman but while the rest of their films (excluding The Land Before Time) became one financial failure after another. About the guy known as Don Bluth used to work for Disney as a background animator and the quit on his birthday and create his own studio and being competitive towards Disney.

You're one of the few reactors I've seen actually take the head trauma into account. I've seen too many focus just on age. "She was old enough to remember who she is, c'mon."

15:40 I mean, we can joke about it, but the sense of smell is the one that's most close to memory. So yeah it makes total sense that her memory of the peppermint would be so important

This is an old favorite of mine. My younger sister and I watched it for the first time since when I was about 9 and she was 7, she had really bad stomach pain and was in the hospital because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong and the nurse put this movie on for us and we’d just watch it over and over.
