I get songs from this movie stuck in my head all of the time! Mostly 'Learn To Do It' because I work with pets and see a lot of orange tabbies up for adoption. "And I recall his yellow cat!" "I don't believe we told her that..."

She doesn't sing like an animated voice kinda person. I think that's why I like her voice so much.
When I was pregnant with my daughter I would sing "once upon a december" to her. After she was born it was the only song that calmed her and put her to sleep. She's 19 now and still loves the song. 😊

It means so much to hear her say she thinks of adoption while singing Journey to the Past. As an adopted kid, that song really resonated with me, it’s cool it had the same effect on the woman singing it!
Liz is underrated and deserves way more love. She has the most amazing voice ❤️

literally started crying when she started singing 😭❤ goosebumps

Anastasia and Swan Princess are the essence of my childhood. So much nostalgia that brings me to tears.
I always ALWAYS get goosebumps and get teary eyed when I hear Once Upon A December
a face to the voice i’ve loved for years, wow
Man her voice just melts you like butter.
Talking about adoption, my uncle was adopted when he was a baby--my grandma had him out of wedlock. He grew up within 15 to 30 minutes away from my aunt and dad before moving to California. If my cousin hadn't gotten really sick when she was little, we wouldn't know them at all, he wouldn't have gone searching into his family medical history. God--or the universe or whatever you want to believe--works in mysterious and wonderful ways, and we're now invited to my cousin's wedding in May.

Amazing! I love adoption and think it's (usually) such an act of love. I totally agree that God works in mysterious and wonderful ways! I'm so glad you got to know him. (Your uncle, not God.) (Well, also God.... you know what I mean. ;'D )

@@KitaraStrife Wow, that is so interesting! You know, I used to think it was all nurture over nature. But the older I get and the more genealogy I do, the more I think genetics really plays a role as well! It's amazing learning that my ancestors had similar interests to me, not to mention health or depression or physical similarities. I still think nurture is the most important factor of how you turn out, but I do see some in-born characteristics in people, too.
I did not know that the singing and talking voices are 2 different people O.O

I love this show growing up. I watched this show over a dozen times.
I bought it on dvd for my daughter she’s 6 and she loves it, once upon a December at the end when her dad comes in she always asks me to act that part with her 🥰
This is the best thing I’ve seen in 2020!! What’s a sweetheart and a sweet voice. I loved this movie as a child.
I LOVEDDDD this movie as a child - watched it over and over again. Now, 26, and still watch it every year or two because it’s such a wonderful movie 💕
When i was 12 i watched this so much I memorized most the script and i can still recite it
Love all three movies of swanprincess from 90s 😍🎶📷⭐❤🤩 Love Anastsia from 1997 ❤❤
My heart is so full right now. We all love you, Ms. Liz!
Oh my god, this is the first time that I've seen the owner of the wonderful voice that I've been so in love with since I'm just 2 years old. And after 18 years of listening to Once Upon A December, her voice is just as lovely and as emotional as the first time that I've heard it.
I used to watch this movie when i was little, it's so underrated !!!
I know this movie like the back of my hand ...has been my number one favorite since I was a kid, and I’m 23 now 😭 I will forever love Anastasia ❣️
I’m watching Anastasia right now and as an adult the movie is much more haunting and dark than I could have even noticed as a child.
This song. It is still my favorite since I was little and I just sang this song last night while putting my baby cousin to sleep. This is the only song that still gives me chills and goosebumps everytime I hear it.
I've always loved that song!!
Your voice was perfect!
I love all her songs
This is me and my grandma's movie. Like Anya and her grandma. I'm so glad Liz loves what she does, she inspires me
Love love love these songs. I used to rewind my vhs player using the buttons on the tv over and over to write down all the lyrics to journey to the past! Haha good memories 😊
I jammed out to the cassette tape soundtrack to this movie. Once Upon a December was the best.
She brought me to tears when she sang!
Journey to the past is my favourite song , the lyrics have real connection
Yessssss omg I'm so surprised but glad they did one of these for Liz! Anastasia is one of my favorite movies ever (possibly my #1) and it has been such an important part of my life and means so much to me. I also love the Broadway musical and I'm thankful to everyone who was part of these masterpieces. ❤ It would be nice to see an interview with Meg too! ~:~
when she said journey to the past is her favorite gave me goosebumps bc its my favorite too, and to know the singer loves it to brings joy to my heart.
Journey to the past hits different 🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️
I can't believe there is only 2 likes! Including one From me. Anastasia was such a memorable childhood movie for me. Deserves much better accolades than what it got
Anastasia is my favorite movie of all time and Once Upon a December is my favorite song of all time 💖
You did A GREAT JOB!!!! So glad you found that babysitter!!!
I grew up loving this movie then I show it to my younger siblings and they love it, one day I will show this movie ti my future kids and I'm sure they will love it too :)
She is just lovely!!! I'm so glad you featured her! Love the movie! Brings back so many childhood memories! ❤❤❤❤😊
UGHHH THIS WAS MY MOVIEEEEE. Reminds me of the easier times lol. I wish they had it on Netflix PLS TELL THEM to bring it back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YASSS!!!! that's my favorite song in my favorite movie, ANASTASIA~
A lot of movies where the singing voice was a different person than the speaking voice did fantastic. It was hard to tell it was a different person. That's pure magic!
i grew up loving this movie and this was very nostalgic to me
As she sang both songs i closed my eyes and went back to being the child me 💔
Omg this song would give me the shivers whenever I would watch the movie
she freaking set everything on fire with her vocals. ughh so amaZING
Her singing and those songs still give me goosebumps!
OMG SO EFFORTLESSLY & I GOT GOOSEBUMPS 🥰
I love Anastasia, this film is incredible! My favorite song from it is "Journey to the Past" and i can't help but sing along to it. ^^
