This movie is based on the real life Grand Duchess of Russia, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova who was rumored to have escaped the murder of the Romanov family when she was 17 and this movie is about her return. Sadly the actual Anastasia's body was found and identified on 2007 confirming she in fact did not survive the massacre of her family.

If you liked this, you should definitely check out songs from the Broadway version, they cut out the more mystical side and leaned into the history and have several more heartbreaking songs. In real life, for the longest time, Anastasia and her little brother Alexi were theorized to have escaped their family’s execution, however recent skeletal remains matching their descriptions were discovered near the original burial site. Her and her family’s fate has always been so intriguing and heartbreaking to me.

Additional depressing context: Every person in the ballroom scene of Once Upon a December is most likely dead. At least, every member of her family is. It is based on a true story. The three women courtsying to her, and the little boy are her siblings, who were all killed during the russian revolution in the real life events. And of course, the man she is dancing with, is her father. For a long time, Anastasia was believed to possibly have survived, since her corpse was not found with the others. Since the movie was made, however, her corpse was found and identified close to her brothers.

Dude, the orchestral surge at the end never fails to give me chills!

Kinda shocked you didn't include "Journey to the Past" though this selection gave you the best variety so I also get it. Fantastic reaction! I do love the songs from this film and it was a joy to see you discover them! If you're interested, I want to recommend a video by B-Mask called "The Musicals of Don Bluth" - whole thing is good, but the section on Anastasia has a chapter mark and he goes over some of the behind the scenes on the making of the music for this film and it's really interesting. (This isn't a reaction recommendation, btw, just something I thought a fellow musical lover would enjoy.) Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this!

In once upon a time in December, yes that’s her dad (Tsar Nicolas II), the little boy is Alexei, Anastasia’s brother, the future Tsar of Russia (he’s limping bc he has hemophilia) and the other girls behind her dad and brother are Anastasia’s sisters. In real Life, Rasputin wasn’t evil just a little bit weird and Anastasia’s mom wants him to help her son. Here his story: kzread.info/head/PLKLxDLpQY5podTrdda1fOnobu1PXWR5CB&si=fqss0Xwq-kYQYb9x

Ok, so the plot of the movie is somewhat simple, but needs many words to explain. *Deep breath* SO The plot is a heavily fictionalized version of the fall of the Romanov dynasty where Rasputin is an evil sorcerer who curses the family, and this causes them all to die except the grandmother (I dunno if that's historically accurate) and Anastasia (definitely not accurate) but she's separated from her grandma and gets amnesia, like you do. 10 years later and the Grandma has been offering a reward to anyone who can reunite her with her long lost granddaughter who she doesn't even know if she's alive or not. The two guys are con artists looking for an actress to play the role of Anastasia but Anya here IS the real Anastasia who has been living in an orphanage she just got kicked out of because she just turned 18. Anya wants to find her past and any family she may have and forgotten about, so she agrees to help them, not realizing they're con artists, because this is her only lead and the Grandmom is in paris, and her only item she has from before her memory loss is a necklace that reads "together in Paris." Also Rasputin is now a zombie and can't go to the after life until Anya is dead, so he makes several attempts throughout the movie to kill her *breathes heavily*

She ends up in the dusty palace and it feels familiar to her but she's found by 2 conmen who want to convince her she's the princess not knowing she really is. They want to take her to her grandmother (the only living member of her family who were massacred the night Anya got annesia) for a reward. But they slowly realize that she knows things they haven't told her and realize she's the real deal. It's AWEAOME. Also, the young servant boy who saved Anya from the massacre ends up being the conman and they fall in love.

"I like her speaking voice" - that, sir, is because its Meg Ryan. She consistently sounds endearing. The large guy who speaks next, Vlad, is Kelsey Grammer and the love interest, Dimitri is John Cusack. Though Kelsey Grammer is the only one of the three who does both the speaking and singing for the character. As for whether they're telling her the truth or tricking her - both? Lol. She IS the long lost princess, however they don't know for sure if she is or not, just that she looks like she is and that's all that really matters at first, haha. Movie! Rasputin sold his soul for vengeance on the Romanov family, encouraged their destruction, and even though he 'died' he's currently in limbo, kind of undead. Its insinuated that his soul cannot actually rest until he fulfils the entire purpose he sold his soul for, i.e. kill all the romanovs. Which they all were executed during the Russian revolution, save for Anastasia who managed to escape in this film, albeit fell and was injured in the process, and spent all her teen years with amnesia in an orphanage with no idea who she was. Her grandmother, who sought asylum in France, has a reward out for anyone who can find her and return her safely to her - ergo the chaos of 'potentially tricking her but actually telling her the truth' - it's more endearing than it sounds. Dimitri was a kitchen boy in the palace and helped her escape the siege.

Family members who knew Anastasia personally said she looked like her, but did not have the same personality and was not Anastasia.

So, she was remembering her family, but she didn't realize who/what they meant to her. She has by far one of the most heartbreaking backstories compared to the rest of the Disney princesses.

The credit song was also sung by Christy Altomare ans Derek Klena from the Broadway musical at a Disney princess party. It's on KZread and it's beautiful!

I miss Aaliyah). They get stuck in my head at the most random intervals and its been over 20 something damn years. 😭

Sooooo just a quick summary, the movie is loosely based on the events of the Romanov family, specifically the daughter Anastasia. in the movie when the coupe against the Romanovs happened Anastasia and her grandmother made it out of the palace and were going to flee, Ana got separated and hit her head causing amnesia, she was found and put in an orphanage since without memory she seemed to be just any other poor child. the movie fast forwards to Ana being 18, and sent to go join the working class and leave the orphanage. but something tell her to go on a different path, she meets those 2 guys who are looking to swindle the grandmother for a reward since she has been looking for her granddaughter this whole time. As luck has it they find the actual Anastasia but dont know its actually her, they just thought she looked the part and with her no memory they tricked Ana into thinking she was the lost princess so they could get the reward. hijinks happen, and the truth about her being the real lost princess comes out, she regains her memory, villain tries to kill her. yada yada happy ending

It's impossible not to cry listening to ONCE A DECEMBER. Anastasia is my favorite "princess" movie😢 ❤

Oh my goodness!!! This was my childhood favourite film! The songs are amazing so glad you reacted to this

It’s been decades and I will never forget seeing the beautiful animation of once upon a December for the first time as a child

This is ine of my absolute favourite feel good movies. Instead if the villain song i would have loved to see you react to "Journey to the Past". Its a Solo from Anastasia and the only song i really missed here. On the other Hand of course Once Upon a December is the best, but j love that you reacted to the ending credits song. I love that one and the video with all the scenes from the movie is so cute 🥰

i love this reaction! Anastasia is such a good movie and the music is amazing.

So Anastasia lost her memory as a child and she’s trying to remember who she was. That’s where “Once upon a December” comes in. After that song ends and she’s caught in the palace that’s whenever Rasputin song comes in and he pretty much sold his soul for that curse and the curse was to kill the entire royal family. Dimitri’s goal was to trick Anastasia into being the lost princess so he can get money from the grandmother (who was able to escape the curse by being in Paris), and at one point Dimitri puts together that she really is the lost princess. And then Dimitri and Anastasia fell in love.

So sad he didn't include "Paris Holds the Key" or whatever that song was during the Paris fashion montage with Sophie! It was one of my favorite songs and musical numbers bc of the glitz and glamor of it, it makes me feel like I'm visiting Paris again. It makes me feel posh and elegant! 😆

Anastasia is my CHILDHOOD!!! I’m super close with my grandma, and to this day as a 29 year old I bawl my eyes out with her when we watch it together!

we need Mathew to react to thumblina and swan princess 💖

Hell yeah!

Flinching isn't always a trauma thing. I can just be the result of being startled, even if only mildly, as part of that instinctual "fight or flight" thing or that whole "Wait, are they talking to me?(when it sounds like it & you're not expecting it)" thing.

"Is this genuine encouragement or tricking her?" The answer is both😁

In The Dark of The Night is my FAVORITE villain bop

OMG YESTERDAY I WATCHED THE MOVIE FOR THE 827628TH TIME IT'S MY FAV. I CAN'T BELIVE YOU'RE REACTING TO THE MUSIC OMGKDKSJZEU

I was hoping you'd react to "Journey to the past", great song, definitely one of my favorites

I always loved the music/song that plays during the beginning when the palace is under attack and Anastasia is fleeing with her grandmother

i am BEGGING YOU to please do bartok the magnificent next! it's a spin off of anastasia about its villain's bat sidekick and all of the songs are genuinely absolute bangers

Omg I think you'd have a great time with The Swan Princess! The lead's singing voice is also Liz Calloway!
