This is so good! Like it's hard to come up with words, the art style that kinda makes everything look like a painting but also like a tv show is so cool. I'm in awe to be quite honest.
To see a remake of Anastasia with this version of the musical, I think would possibly be better than the original, like I love the original but… it be so beautiful
So I have never even heard of this musical (def gonna look into it tho) but this is absolutely STUNNING. The movements, the proportions, the expressions, the colors, just EVERYTHING holy shit. I can only imagine how much time, love and effort went into this and it shows a million times over in the work. Thank you for sharing this I am definitely going to be keeping an eye on your work
It would be so cool if the Broadway version was a animated musical movie with ramin and Christy with beauty magic and mystery of this historical magical masterpiece
Whenever i hear this song i always feel that once the beat drops at “my father shook his head” i envision gleb fighting his sanity I see one of my habits when my sanity is dwindling from unneeded stress and like trying to rip out my hair and i see that sort of thing as he’s shaking his head especially during anya’s dialogue’s until “AND IN MY FATHER’S NAME” And then the dwindling sanity returns until “he does what’s necessary anya”
The reflection was AMAZING!!! I actually gasped when I saw the reflection of Act I Gleb & Anya with the gun pointed at her and had to replay it at least 3 times!!
Man I just found this today and can’t stop thinking about it. The details in the reflection of the Royal family. Young Anya from the first time she and Gleb met. Oh and Gleb looking in his reflection and seeing blood on his face. This is incredible.
I'm playing one of the Romanov sisters in Anastasia and this is my favorite song in the musical. I'm going to send this to my directors and see if we can incorporate some of the symbolism you added! I love this so much!
basically his character, Gleb Vaganov, is the villain in the musical instead of Rasputin and Bartok. There is no Rasputin and Bartok and all the magical aspects they have in the movie. The musical is instead more leaning to historical fiction with Gleb as Bolshevik general whom his father was one of the men who executed the Romanovs and is the villain who hunted for Anastasia. But there's also like a love triangle-ish aspect because Gleb sort of falls in love with Anya and half wishing she's not actually Anastasia. Anya still ends up with Dmitri though.
1:43 I absolutely love how she sees his conflict and emotions and even tries to comfort him, even if he wants to kill her. And how you cut off the resolution so it gives me an impression he did kill her (I have watched the musical)
Oh definitely Gleb. But having a KGB officer hunting her down would be so so dark for a kids movie. It was much easier to just make Rasputin (who’s actually based on Alexi’s faith healer who became a trusted advisor of the throne and the Russian people believed was some sort of sorcerer cause he kept alluding death) the typical animated princess movie sorcerer villain makes way more sense and still holds some of the historical accuracy while making a great kids movie. Though Rasputin is still terrifying😂
This video proves that they should start making animated adaptations of Broadway shows. there's been plenty of animated movies (like Anastasia) turned into musicals, but I'm surprised there isn't anything the other way around. A lot of musicals could work as an animated movie like Cats (Steven Spielberg was even working on one before it was scrapped), Dear Evan Hansen, Jekyll and Hyde, etc.
