The first feature from the 20th Century-Fox animation unit in Phoenix, Arizona, this is the ninth film produced and directed by the
Don Bluth/
Gary Goldman duo (
An American Tail) and the first animated feature to be made in CinemaScope since
Disney's
Sleeping Beauty (1959). This $50 million animated fantasy retells the story of
Anastasia, daughter of
Czar Nicholas, beginning with her childhood in 1916 Russia. After
Rasputin's curse on the Romanovs, little Anastasia is separated from her grandmother, the Dowager Empress Maria. After growing up in an orphanage, Anastasia emerges as a young woman called Anya. With no clear memory of her youth, Anya encounters entrepreneurs who seek an Anastasia look-alike in hopes of collecting a reward in Paris from the aged Dowager Empress. Despite demonic interference from Rasputin, the three travel to Paris where another problem awaits: the Dowager Empress is now skeptical of the parade of imposters.
