022;
I had to study today, but I couldn't resist the temptation to watch one of my favourite animations - Anastasia. I adore this movie ever since I was a kid. You know every little kid have this movie that can watch over and over again. For me this is Anastasia (and Lion King, but about it some other time).
So I decided to spend some more time and make a picspam. I didn't think of how much this will cost me, but I definitely enjoy it =)
So take a deep breath, because it's long and enjoy!
PS: The colours are awful(too much red I know), but I just couldn't make them look better xD
"There was a time, not very long ago, where we lived in an enchanted world of elegant palaces and grand parties. The year was 1916, and my son, Nicholas, was the czar of Imperial Russia.We were celebrating the 300th anniversary of our family rule, and that night, no star burned brighter than that of our sweet Anastasia, my youngest granddaughter. She begged me not to return to Paris, so I had a special gift made for her to make the separation easier for both of us."
Young Anastasia: It plays our lullaby!
Empress Marie: You can play it at night before you go to sleep, and pretend it's me singing!
But we would never be together in Paris, for a dark shadow had descended upon the house of the Romanovs. His name was Rasputin. We thought that he was a holy man, but he was a fraud.
Rasputin: "By the dark powers vested in me, I banish *you*, with a curse. Mark my words, you and your family will be dead within a fortnight. I will not rest until I see the end of the Romanov line forever!"
Anya: I am grateful - grateful to get away!
Anya: Give me a sign!
Oh, great. A dog wants me to go to St. Petersburg. Okay, I can take a hint.
(singing)
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear!
Or how a road can seem so long
How the world can seem so vast
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
(singing)
It's the Princess Anastasia who will help us fly!
You and I friend
Will go down
In history!
We'll find a girl to play the part and teach her what to say,
Dress her up and take her to Paree!
Imagine the reward her dear old Grandmama will pay!
Who else could pull it off but you and me?
We'll be rich
Dimitri: Do you see what I see?
Vladimir: No!
Dimitri: She looks exactly like Princess Anastasia!
(singing)
In the dark of the night evil will find her.
In the dark of the night just before dawn! Aah...
Revenge will be sweet.
When the curse is complete!
In the dark of the night,
She'll be gone!
Anya: Do you really think I'm royalty?
Dimitri: You know I do.
Anya: Then stop bossing me around!
Vladimir: Well, she certainly has a mind of her own.
Dimitri: Yeah, I hate that woman!
Vladimir: Oh no, an unspoken attraction!
Dimiti: Attraction? To that skinny little brat... have you lost your mind?
Vladimir: I was only asking a simple question.
Dimitri: Attraction! Ridiculous!
Dimitri: Nobody's driving this train Were gonna have to jump!
...
Dimitri: If we live through this, remind me to thank you
(singing)
You were born in a palace by the sea.
A palace by the sea?
Could it be? Yes, that's right.
You rode horseback when you were only three.
Horseback riding? Me?
And the horse... -He was white!
You made faces and terrorized the cook!
Threw him in the brook!
Most of all remember this:
If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it.
Something in you knows it
There's nothing to it!
Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe!
You can learn to do it too!
Dimitri: Here. I bought you a dress.
Anya: You bought me a tent.
Dimitri: What are you looking for?
Anya: The Russian Circus I think it's still in here.
Vladimir: Wonderful! Marvelous! And now you are dressed for a ball,
Dimitri: That dress is really beautiful.
Anya: Do you think so?
Dimitri: Yes. I mean it was nice on the hanger but it looks even better on you. You... you should wear it.
Anya: I am wearing it.
Dimitri: Oh, right of course, of course, you are. I'm just trying to give you a...
Anya: Compliment?
Dimitri: It was a nightmare. It's all right, you're safe now
Sophie: How did you escape during the siege of the palace?
Anastasia: There was a boy, a boy who worked in the palace. He opened a wall... I'm sorry, that's crazy walls opening...
Dimitri: She's the princess...
Vladimir: I know, I know but...
Dimitri: No, no, no you don't know. I was the boy - in the palace. The one who opened the wall. She's the real thing, Vlad.
Vladimir: That means our Anya has found her family! We have found the heir to the Russian throne! And you...
Dimitri: ... will walk out of her life forever. Princess' don't marry kitchen boys.
(singing)
Dancing bears, painted wings,
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Dimitri: I accept your gratutude. You Highness. But I don't want the money.
Empress Marie: What do you want, then?
Dimitri: Unfortunately nothing you can give
Empress Marie: Why the change of your mind?
Dimitri: It was more a change of heart.
Dimitri: Your Highness! I'm glad you found what you were looking for.
Dimitri: I can't stay. I don't belong here.
Empress Marie: He's not there.
Anastasia: Who's not there, Grandmama?...
Empress Marie: A remarkable young man who found a music box...
Anastasia: No he's probably too busy spending his reward money as fast as he can
Empress Marie: My darling, he didn't take the money.
Anastasia: Dear Grandmama, wish me luck. We'll be together in Paris again soon.
Sophie: They've eloped. Isn't it romantic. It's a perfect ending.
Empress Marie: No, it's a perfect beginning.
