Production [edit]

Development [edit]

In May 1994, the Los Angeles Times reported that Don Bluth and Gary Goldman had signed a long-term deal to produce animated features with 20th Century Fox with the studio channeling more $100 million in amalgam the blitheness studio.^[nineteen] They selected Phoenix, Arizona, for the location of the new animation studio considering the state offered the company about $1 1000000 in job grooming funds and low-interest loans for the country-of-the-art digital animation equipment,^[xx] with a staff of 300 artists and technicians, a third of whom worked with Bluth and Goldman in Dublin, Ireland, for Sullivan Bluth Studios.^[21] For their start project, the studio insisted they select one out of a dozen existing properties which they owned where Bluth and Goldman suggested adapting The King and I and My Fair Lady,^[22] though Bluth and Goldman felt it would exist impossible to improve on Audrey Hepburn's performance and Lerner and Loewe'due south score. Following several story suggestions, the idea to adapt Anastasia originated from Fox Filmed Entertainment CEO Pecker Mechanic. They would after conform story elements from Pygmalion with the peasant Anya being molded into a purple woman.^[23] The budget was $53 one thousand thousand.^{[vi] [5]}

Early on into production, Bluth and Goldman began researching the bodily events through enlisting erstwhile CIA agents stationed in Moscow and St. Petersburg.^[24] Around this same time, screenwriter Eric Tuchman had written a script that co-screenwriter Bruce Graham described every bit being "very adult, very based in reality, all nigh politics, and without whatever magic or one-act". Eventually, Bluth and Goldman decided the history of Anastasia and the Romanov dynasty was as well nighttime for their pic.^[23] In 1995, Graham and Susan Gauthier reworked Tuchman'due south script into a lite-hearted romantic comedy. When Graham and Gauthier moved onto other projects, the hubby-and-wife screenwriting team Bob Tzudiker and Noni White were hired for additional rewrites.^[25] Actress Carrie Fisher too made uncredited rewrites of the flick, particularly the scene in which Anya leaves the orphanage for Paris.^[26]

For the villains, Bluth also did not accept into consideration depicting Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks, and initially toyed with the thought of a police chief with a vendetta against Anastasia. Instead, they decided to have Grigori Rasputin as the villain with Goldman explaining it was because of "all the dissimilar things they did to try to destroy Rasputin and what a horrible human being he really was, the more it seemed appetizing to make him the villain".^[24] In reality, Rasputin was already dead when the Romanovs were assassinated. In addition to this, Bluth created the idea for Bartok, the albino bat, as a sidekick for Rasputin: "I only thought the villain had to have a comic sidekick, just to permit anybody know that it was all correct to laugh. A bat seemed a natural friend for Rasputin. Making him a white bat came later – just to make him different".^[27] Composers Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens recalled being at Au Bon Pain in New York City where Rasputin and Bartok were pitched, and being dismayed at the determination to go downward a historically inaccurate route; they fabricated their stage musical adaption "more than sophisticated, more far-reaching, more than political" to encompass their original vision.^[28]

Casting [edit]

Bluth stated that Meg Ryan was his offset and only choice for the championship graphic symbol. However, Ryan was indecisive about accepting the office due to its dark historical events.^[29] To persuade her, the animation team took an audio clip of Annie Reed from Sleepless in Seattle and created an animation reel based on it which was screened for her following an invitation to the studio. Ryan later on accepted the role; in her words "I was blown away that they did that".^[xxx] Earlier Ryan was cast, Broadway vocaliser and actress Liz Callaway was brought in to record several demos of the songs hoping to land a job in background vocals, but the demos were liked well enough by songwriters that they were ultimately used in the final picture.^[31] John Cusack openly admitted after being cast that he couldn't sing;^[32] his singing duties were performed by Jonathan Dokuchitz.^[33] Goldman had commented that originally, equally with the residuum of the cast, they were going to have Ryan record her lines separately from the others, with Bluth reading the lines of the other characters to her. However, subsequently Ryan and the directors were finding the method to be too challenging when her graphic symbol was paired with Dimitri, she and Cusack recorded the dialogue of their characters together, with Goldman noting "information technology made a huge deviation".^[24]

Peter O'Toole was considered for the part of Rasputin, but Christopher Lloyd was hired because of his popularity from the Back to the Future trilogy. Bartok was initially written for Woody Allen, only the studio was reluctant to hire him following revelations of his relationship with his ex-partner Mia Farrow's adoptive daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. Martin Short was also considered, but Hank Azaria won the part ten minutes into his audience.^{[24] [25]}

Musical score and soundtrack album [edit]

The moving picture score was composed, co-orchestrated, and conducted past David Newman, whose father, Alfred Newman, composed the score of the 1956 flick of the aforementioned name.^[34] The songs, of which "Journey to the Past" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, were written by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.^[35] The first song they wrote for the project was "Once Upon a Dec"; it was written during a heatwave "so [they were] sweating and writing winter imagery".^[28] The picture'due south soundtrack was released in CD and audio cassette format on October 28, 1997.^[36]

Release [edit]

20th Century Play a trick on scheduled for Anastasia to be released on Nov 21, 1997, notably a week after the re-release of Disney's The Piffling Mermaid. Disney claimed information technology had long-planned for the re-release to coincide with a consumer products campaign leading into Christmas and the film'due south home video release in March 1998, every bit well continue the tradition of re-releasing their animated films within a seven-to-eight yr interval.^[37] In addition to this, Disney would release several competing family unit films including Flubber on the post-obit weekend, as well as a double characteristic of George of the Jungle and Hercules.^[37] To avert branding confusion, Disney banned telly advertisements for Anastasia from being aired on the ABC program The Wonderful World of Disney.^[38]

Commenting on the studios' fierce competition, Disney spokesman John Dreyer brushed off allegations of studio rivalry, challenge: "We always re-release our movies around vacation periods". Withal, Fob executives refused to believe Dreyer's statement with Bill Mechanic responding that "it's a deliberate attempt to be a nifty, to kick sand in our face. They tin't be trying to maximize their ain business; the amount they're spending on advertising is ridiculous... It's a concentrated effort to keep our film from fulfilling its potential".^[39]

Marketing [edit]

Anastasia was accompanied with a marketing campaign at more than $50 million with promotional sponsors from Burger King, Dole Food Visitor, Hershey, Chesebrough-Ponds, Macy's Thanksgiving Solar day Parade, Shell Oil, and the 1997 U.South. Figure Skating Championships. Overall, the marketing costs exceeded that of Independence Day by more than 35 percent.^[40] For merchandising, Fox selected Galoob to license dolls based on Anastasia.^[39] Many storybooks adapted from the flick were released by Fiddling Golden Books. In Baronial 1997, the SeaWorld theme parks in San Diego and Orlando featured a 40-foot-long, 20-foot-high inflatable playground for children called "Anastasia'due south Kingdom".^[41]

Anastasia became available on Dec 4, 2020 on Disney+,^{[45] [46]} following Disney's conquering of 20th Century Play a trick on on March 20, 2019.^[47] It was afterwards removed from Disney+ on March i, 2022 and volition be heading to Starz on March 18, 2022; reverse to popular conventionalities, the picture was not removed in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine (Disney had suspended theatrical releases in Russian federation such as the then upcoming Turning Red, which led to confusion that Anastasia's removal was connected to this).^{[48] [49]}

Reception [edit]

Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the movie a score of 86% based on 56 reviews and an average rating of vii.11/ten. The website's consensus reads: "Beautiful animation, an affable take on Russian history, and strong voice performances make Anastasia a winning first film from Play tricks Animation Studios".^[50] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 61 out of 100 based on 19 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".^[51]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sunday-Times awarded the film three-and-a-half out of four stars, praising "the quality of the story" and writing the event equally entertaining and sometimes exciting.^[52] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave Anastasia three stars, calling the lead character "pretty and charming" only criticized the film for a lack of historical accuracy.^[53] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Though originality is not one of its accomplishments, Anastasia is generally pleasant, serviceable and eager to please. And whatsoever flick that echoes the landscape of Physician Zhivago is difficult to dislike for too long."^[54] Todd McCarthy of Variety noted the film was "dazzlingly colorful", just felt that "all the ingredients thrown into the pot don't ossify entirely congenially, and the artistic touch practical doesn't allow the whole to become more than the sum of its various, just invariably familiar, elements."^[55] Margaret McGurk, reviewing for The Cincinnati Enquirer, described the picture show as "mannerly" and "entertaining", and calling Anastasia every bit a tasty tale about a fairy-tale princess.^[56] Lisa Osbourne of Boxoffice chosen the film "pure family entertainment".^[57] Awarding the motion picture three out of five stars, Empire 's Philip Thomas wrote that despite historical inaccuracies, Anastasia manages to be a mannerly niggling movie.^[58]

Several critics have drawn positive comparisons betwixt Anastasia and the Disney films released during the Disney Renaissance, noting similarities in their story and animation styles. Marjorie Baumgarten of The Austin Relate awarded the flick three out of five stars. Likening its quality to that of a Disney blithe film, Baumgarten wrote that Anastasia "may not shell Disney at its own game, but it sure won't be for lack of trying". Baumgarten continued that "[t]his sumptuous-looking moving-picture show clearly spared no expense in its visual rendering; its optical flourishes and attention to detail aim for the Disney gold standard and, for the most part, come pretty darn close".^[59] The Phoenix 's Jeffrey Gantz jokingly stated: "[I]f imitation is indeed the sincerest class of flattery, so the folks at Disney should experience royally complimented past Twentieth Century Fox's new animated feature about Tsar Nicholas Ii'south youngest daughter".^[60] Owen Gleiberman of Amusement Weekly wrote that Fox has a beautifully animated musical that tin can challenge Disney'southward peer, simply also said that Anastasia has inferior animation style compared to Disney's and lacks its magic.^[61]

Critical response [edit]

Disquisitional reception in Russia was as well, for the about part, positive despite the artistic liberties that the film took with Russian history. Gemini Films, the Russian distributor of Anastasia, stressed the fact that the story was "non history", but rather "a fairy tale set against the background of real Russian events" in the moving picture's Russian marketing campaign so that its Russian audience would not view Anastasia as a historical film.^[62] As a result, many Russians praised the moving picture for its art and storytelling and saw it as not a piece of history merely another Western import to be consumed and enjoyed.^[62]

Some Russian Orthodox Christians, on the other hand, found Anastasia to be an offensive depiction of the K Duchess, who was canonized every bit a new martyr in 1981 by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.^[63] Many historians echoed their sentiments, criticizing the film as a sanitized, sugar-coated reworking of the story of the Czar'southward youngest girl.^[64] While the filmmakers acknowledged the fact that "Anastasia uses history merely as a starting point", others complained that the film would provide its audience with misleading facts about Russian history, which, co-ordinate to the writer and historian Suzanne Massie, has been falsified for so many years.^[65] Similarly, the apprentice historian Bob Atchison said that Anastasia was akin to someone making a flick in which Anne Frank "moves to Orlando and opens a crocodile farm with a guy named Mort".^[65]

Some of Anastasia's contemporary relatives likewise felt that the motion picture was distasteful, but virtually Romanovs have come to have the "repeated exploitation of Anastasia'southward romantic tale... with equanimity".^[65]

Box function [edit]

A limited release of Anastasia at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on the weekend of November fourteen, 1997, grossed $120,541.^[66] The following weekend, the wide release of Anastasia in the United States earned $14.i meg, ranking second behind Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.^{[67] [68]} Past the end of its theatrical run, Anastasia had grossed $58.4 million in the United States and Canada and $81.4 1000000 internationally.^[seven] The worldwide gross totaled upwards to most $139.8 million, making it Don Bluth's highest-grossing moving picture to date and beating out his next highest-grossing film, An American Tail, past about $55 million.^[69] This was Don Bluth'due south kickoff financially successful film since All Dogs Become to Heaven.
