Anastasia Fashion Guideīefore we continue, I have a disclaimer to make.

Anastasia survives, but is separated from her grandmother, Dowager Empress Marie, while they try to escape. After a vindictive Rasputin curses the family, her family dies at the hands of the Bolsheviks. A Quick Recap of AnastasiaĪnastasia Romanov is the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II. Ironically, with Disney’s acquisition of Fox, Anastasia is now technically part of Disney’s catalogue. The film was produced by 20 th Century Fox and the film is often mistaken for a Disney production.

Disney tried to compete by re-releasing The Little Mermaid, but Anastasia had already become popular and beloved by then. Not only it did do extremely well at the box office when it came out, Anastasia knocked Disney’s Hercules out of the park completely. Additionally, the Romanovs themselves were initially not too fond of the film, but over time they warmed up to it. This was especially important because acceptance from the story’s country and people of origin is something that Disney, the film’s main box office rival, struggled with for Pocahontas, Hercules and later on, Mulan. This strategy meant that Anastasia was well received in Russia and a box office hit everywhere. While it is historically inaccurate, Anastasia was very carefully marketed as a fairytale based on historical events, and not the actual story of those events. Both films are very, very loosely based on the real life story of Anastasia Romanov. It is based on the 1957 film Anastasia starring Ingrid Bergman. Anastasia premiered in 1997 and it quickly became Don Bluth’s most popular film and, by far, his most successful.
