The Movie Collection Embarkment of 2008: Anastasia


Anastasia

made in 1997

rated G

Jesse: Dimitri was the first cartoon character that I fell in love with. It was only later I realized it is John Cusack's sexy voice. All the better. Favorite scene: When Bartok returns the gift from the dark forces to Rasputin in Limbo. Rasputin sings In the Dark of the Night with multi-colored bugs, while various body parts fall off. Very creepy, lots of green (which means evil). I give this movie ****.

Justin: I don't know why I had never seen this movie before. It is very funny and contains the very funny John Cusack. If I were gay (which I am not by the way, I promise) I would fall in love with him, too. He is so funny in all his movies. Especially Better Off Dead and Say Anything and High Fidelity. Oh yeah, Anastasia was good too. The movie works because every time Dimitri isn't on screen, Bartok is. Those two make a great formula for a great cartoon. I give this movie 4 big stars (out of 5).
