Why do people hate this movie again? Why was this the beginning of the Dark Age of Don Blueth
This film is wonderful.
>>85879753
A better question, why does this exist? http://youtube.com/watch?v=UqipZjeUCVs
>>85879806
This sequel is very underrated
Don Blueth needs to make Netflix series.
I don't really know what it is about Anastasia that keeps me from upgrading it from good to great. Maybe it's too formulaic, I dunno. Real fucking good looking and well animated though.
>>85879830
There is so much fappable waifu bait in this fucking movie
Even Anastashia's mom is 10/10 GMILF
>>85879753
There really was no purpose for a stereotypical idiot villain in there, let alone a villain song.
The movie was a weird mix of mature trying to copy-cat Disney, when in fact it would have been 100 times better to simply be mature and get it over with.
Atlantis could be mature, in a way, and that was a Disney production. Gargoyles was also mature despite the fantasy action aspect. Why couldn't Anastasia be mature?
>>85880091
>Talking shit about about Rasputin
Eat a dick him and Bartok had the best chemistry in the film. The only thing that sucked was the way he ended up dying
I watched Anastasia for the first time last night. Many people like to think that movie is what triggered the Dark Age of Blueth films where the quality starts dropping down. I dunno what the fuck kinda hate drugs they were on this movie is great.
The animation looks like shit tho. 1997 is when this film came out and Balto/Alpha and Omega still looks worse. I heard rumors that Disney wanted to buy a shitload of IP's from Don Blueth IE: Secret of NIMH, American Tail, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Land Before Time, Thumblina, Titan AE and of course Anastashia
All the other worthless shit can stay with Don Blueth: Rockadoodle, Rover Dangerfield, and especially A Troll in Central Park
I think the reason Disney wants Anastashia is because Anastashia is a real princess unlike Pocahontas. A Russian princess sounds kickass especially if her gimmick is "poor people make me physically ill have the slaves go work in the labor camps."
I will be adding this movie to my favorite animated films list
Over the Hedge
Rango
Antz
Ice Age 1
Brave Little Toaster
BH6
Tarzan
Jungle Book
All Dogs Go To Heaven
When the Wind Blows
>>85880091
Atlantis was so great until they got to Atlantis
>>85880363
Admittably the worst part about Atlantis is when the General throws his Lt. off the balloon and then she lives long enough to turn face
>>85879753
Americans get their education from tv shows and movies so they were pissed it wasn't historycally accurate
>>85880091
>Atlantis could be mature, in a way
Nah. The only mature thing about it is that there was cigarettes and booze in it.
>>85880389
>Takes place in Post World War 1 Europe
>All of the major cities aren't suffering from immense poverty and destruction the German's caused
>Romanoff family welcomed back with open arms despite being the one's who killed off most of them originally
>>85880405
And death...lots of death
>>85880268
>Over the Hedge
>Antz
>Ice Age 1
>BH6
>Tarzan
I kind of hate you.
>>85880417
There's death in basically every Gisnep movie.
>>85880423
What's wrong with my choices?
>>85879806
Holy shit I forgot about thisWhat an underrated waifu
>>85880428
And I love it for that
Modern Disney films suck because they need more death. When was the last time something died Faciller?
>>85880431
They're movie I don't like and I'm still butthurt Phil Collins won an Academy Award for Tarzan.
>>85880438
>Anastashia isn't even in this movie yet it takes place in Russia
>>85880475
That's why it's called Bartok, idiot
>>85880461
Don't be a queer
That movie gave us Jane and Clayton
>>85880460
I don't like it, at this point it feels cheap and unearned.
>When was the last time something died
BH6 had the protag's brother dying, and the villain too.
And he had dead parents to begin with.
Good Dinosaur went full Lion King and kids got traumatised.
>>85880484
Anastashia was literally filled with waifu bait please apologize if I wanted more waifu bait you feg
>>85880486
I don't waifu and I can take or leave Clayton.
Also Rosie O'Donnel.
>>85880501
Yeah but that's a marvel movie and a Pixar movie
I mean a Disney exclusive movie
>>85880505
I have no idea where your train of thought is going, little buddy
>>85880520
Get over it you fag the movie is visually beautiful and I want to watch Jane eat Sandwiches slathered in mayo
>>85880505
Was dragon lady in the first movie? I haven't seen them in years and honestly Bartok is the only character I even remember.
>>85880528
BH6 was made by Disney, not Marvel.
At this point it's just nitpicking from you, but hey, have a villain death in Wreck-it-Ralph too.
>>85880533
This is an Anastashia thread not a Bartok thread
Bartok can't carry an entire film by himself
>>85880528
Big Hero 6 IS a disney exclusive movie. I think.
>>85880538
You're in no place to call anyone a fag, anon.
>>85880554
It... Anon, it's related... Bartok The Magnificent was a sequel to Anastasia. Relax.
>>85880547
BH6 is a property owned by Marvel and it was funded by Disney
Disney exclusive movies IE: Frozen/Zootopia
>>85880567
Well, technically it was a spin-off sequel. Either way, it's just as thread-relevant as whatever other conversations are going on
>>85880555
But it's a marvel property that doesn't make it Disney exclusive
>>85880546
No
That whole story might as well be non canon
>>85880568
The movie was literally made and distributed by Disney studios and Buena Vista (with no involvment from Marvel) and not adviertized as a Marvel movie anon, the movie is direct property of Disney. I don't know what to tell you.
Reminder that the Snow Queen is not a Disney exclusive IP.
>>85880586
> it's a marvel property
The movie isn't, no.
>>85880556
My fetishes are better than your entire sex life anon
>>85880619
That's really not saying as much as you seem to think.
My fetishes>your fetishes>my sex life.
>>85880633
Gay
>>85880662
I wish.
It's pretty fucking weird that they made a movie about a little girl who was brutally murdered, as a story of what might have happened if she wasn't killed.
>>85880730
Yep, always thought that was strange. No idea why they didn't just make it a generic fantasy country and lead and keep the story exactly the same.
>>85880730
Not to mention that the whole movie kind-of-accidentally implies that the rise of Eastern European communism was caused by an evil wizard.
>>85879753
rotoscoped main characters
>>85880268
>The animation looks like shit tho
>>85880730
It was a very popular belief that she actually wasn't brutally murdered since at the time there were at least a few people claiming to be her.
But I do agree that essentially it's weird.
>>85880730
>>85880759
>>85880795
Well, it was based on real events... kind of.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Anderson
And I think that's the main problem people had with the movie - if you're going to make an animated movie about actual history, you need to make sure the plot actually follows what happened as closely as possible. Disney kind of got away with Pocahontas because the events were almost 500 years ago, but then historians were all "WAIT A MINUTE"
To be fair Bluth mostly got away with Anastasia because the Russian distributor pointed out from the very start that it wasn't trying to be historically accurate... but it still got some shit from the Russian Orthodox Church (they'd made the real Anastasia a holy martyr back in '81) and the living descendants of the Romanov family (they were sick and tired of Hollywood pulling the same damn bullshit about their family, only this time with musical numbers and a fucking talking bat).
>>85880091IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT I WAS TOSSING AND TURNING

>the beginning of the Dark Age of Don Bluth
>Came out AFTER Rock-a-Doodle, Thumbelina, A Troll in Central Park, and The Pebble and the Penguin.
Fucking what?
>>85881024
But instead of fairytales it could be a very interesting adventurous story without any kind of mystic. Just imagine, USSR, 1920ies, first years of communist regime.
Historically, it was relatively prosperous time of soviet period in Russia (lurk New Economy Policy). But this period also seen the rise of criminality (the criminal world of Odessa or Leningrad after Civil War would be really interesting setting), mass anti-religious propaganda, culture experiments aiming to create New Soviet Man, etc. Also, don't forget about secret police.
It would be really dark story of escape, but instead, we've got only poor copy of Disney
>Film pronounces the name as "ANNA-STAY-ZUH"
It's Anah-stah-scia.
>>85881146
AND THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY FOR THE LIFE OF THE POOR
>>85881719
That would be interesting, but not kid-friendly enough
When Don did try to go darker with Titan A.E. he got ignored or something
>>85880268
>favorite animated films
>over the hedge
Mediocre Tier Dreamworks film. The jokes were never able to hit the spot and there was nothing remarkable about it. Also it used the "protagonist is found to be a liar and everyone is upset about him but then they decide to help him out at the end" trope that i hate with all my heart.
Your other choices are pretty good
>>85880795
>the rise of Eastern European communism was caused by an evil wizard.
Well, wasn't it?
>>85881998
Lenin wasn't a wizard. He was a mushroom
>>85881796

thumbelina was great, you take that back.

Every time.
>>85881888
>Titan A.E.
Sometimes I think I'm the only one who loved that movie...
>>85882640
i loved it so much. i even had the soundtrack and it was usually always in my discman. .
>>85880730
Not really different from adapting fairytales with grim endings.
>>85882640
No, I was a dumb teenager once too.
>>85879753
It's my favorite Bluth movie, so I don't know.
>>85879753
>sympathy for the bloated and selfish russian royal family
They deserved the gruesome deaths they got.
>>85879753
>anti-Soviet propaganda
Nah bruv
>>85883605

Are you fucking kidding me?
