An ambitious, serious but not particularly stimulating musical feature that unconvincingly attempts to graft warm and cuddly family-film motifs onto turbulent aspects of modern history and mythology.
A gorgeous piece of work.
Any film that echoes the landscape of Doctor Zhivago is hard to dislike for too long.
Judging from their voices, about as close to Europe as most of these characters have ever gotten is probably Fresno.
Flawed but not fatally, this ambitious epic's strength lies not just with its haunting melodies, pretty pictures, star voices and kid-friendly sidekicks -- the usual shtick that makes Disney tick.
A promising launch for Fox's new animation studio, which has declared war on Disney.
It's Bluth and company's skill as artists, as well as some of the better celebrity voice casting in an animated movie of the 1990s, that give Anastasia its merit.
Beautiful but inaccurate depiction of Anastasia.
This enchanting fairy-tale, the first release from Fox Animation Studios, is pure family entertainment.
There is much for tots to enjoy: decent songs, an amusing script and some surprisingly imaginative animation.
It does veer horribly towards the sentimental at times, but still provides proof positive that other people can do cartoons too.
I have nothing but superlatives for this, a most phenomenal film.
...it's the typical boy-meets-girl-boy-annoys-girl-boy-and-girl-snipe-at-each-other-as-a-disguise-for-being-fond-of-each-other relationship.
Bluth has rediscovered the ingredients of quality mainstream animation...
It proves that Disney can be beaten at their own game.
Bluth and Goldman have created a quality animation work, with some individual scenes bordering on the extraordinary, that does a solid job in telling the mythical adventure.

an entertaining film that's the first to bring the romantic-comedy genre to animation
Basically reduces the Russian Revolution to a big kaboodle of cuteness, which may give kids the wrong impression of what actually happened.
An entertaining romp through history and romance that is best suited to young girls who should enjoy its G-rated passion.
...Absolutely on a par with recent Disney greats like Beauty and The Beast and Aladdin...
