I love how you included the video along with it! I was looking for a karaoke version and was having trouble finding one. I had found another instrumental version but I could only tell by the piano where to come in for each part, then I found this and it’s easier with the video! This is one of the songs I don’t have memorized as much because of how many parts there are, but I can quote multiple parts of the movie. I proved it the other day without trying, I was explaining the movie in detail to someone who had never watched it and had to stop myself from mentioning random quotes that wouldn’t make sense since I skipped some details. Anastasia has been one of my favourite movies for years, I’ve been watching it since I was born (my mom watched it with me when I was a baby since it was one of her favourites). I memorized once upon a December in second grade and ran around singing and dancing to it in school (I was so embarrassed a couple years after though at the memory). One of my friends also grew up with this movie, and is into multiple Disney princess movies as well (much as I always have been). Though you can never change my mind, 1997 Anastasia will Never be Disney, it’s by Fox, Disney just owns the rights now.
