Adult woman rewatches **ANASTASIA** for the 1000th time. FAVORITES FEBRUARY 

I love the fact that even tho Anastasia is really underrated, every single person who’s watched it loves it

Dimitri has set my standards way too damn high.

this movie is criminally underated

Fun fact: as a kid i rented this movie so many times that the video rental store actually gave me the vhs because i had already payed for it at that point.

As a russian I ABSOLUTELY adore this movie. It’s so beautiful, but also has that inexplicable sadness, even if one doesn’t know the real story of the Romanov family. Almost every time i listen to “Once Upon a December” I tear up, Anastasia and her family didn’t deserve what happened to them💔

people talk about how "disney is finally giving us girl power!" like Anastasia didn't beat up the bad guy while her prince was unconscious decades before that, Anastasia is a legend wbk p.s. in russian version she says "and this one is for me" instead of "this is for you" and i think it's better phrase because she avenged HERSELF as well.

Re-watching the scene where Anastasia is singing to herself in the palace. I choose to believe the figures appearing around her are actually the ghost of those killed during the revolution almost welcoming her back home.

It makes me kind of sad that this was made by Don Bluth who was competing against Disney at the time and now it’s on Disney+

i’m just here to comment on your incredible singing ??? because wth ??? you’re so talented 😭

Fun fact: There are studies that show that scent is the most closely tied to memory, which is why Anastasia is able to prove to the grand duchess that she really is Anastasia.

I was obsessed with her dark blue glittery dress (peak 90's) - they had a dress like that on the Sims 1 too and I'd make my Sims wear that all the time

As someone who has been a child, the depiction of a child running back to get a valued possession at the risk of death is very realistic

“And...someone out there is breathing in Rasputin ashes..” I-I choked 😂😂😂

"She should have grabbed that fourth ticket he threw away, then this whole story wouldn't have happened." The fourth ticket was a ticket to the Russian Circus (they did a close-up on it to show it when Vlad pulled them out of his pocket). So the fourth ticket wouldn't have helped her. 😂

Who else watching this vid just to hear Sophia’s angelic voice again ✋🏽

Happy Birthday! "Disney didn't animate or produce this movie" PREACH. I think I heard somewhere that Don Bluth is trying to get some new projects going. It would actually be a dream come true to see 2D animation return to the mainstream.

You’re singing voice is phenomenal. You should be a singer

27:48 Fun Fact: Aromatherapy has proven that scents can trigger suppressed memories. So it actually makes sense that the first thing she would recognize about the empress was something she would smell!

Fun Fact: Although Christopher Lloyd does the voice for Rasputin his villain song was done by Jim Cummings who you would know as the voices of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

Please listen to the Broadway musical! If you love Demetri and Anastasia, the song "In A Crowd Of Thousands" will make you cry! Also the show is just really good!!!

Okay, so... I don't want to downplay the beauty of the original (English) voice acting in this cartoon, but you just HAVE to hear the Russian Dmitry. His voice like goes to the next level of playfulness, confidence and sarcasm. I am literally OBSESSED with his image, which includes animation and the voice of Russian dubbing. This man is just extremely attractive in every dub and I live for it

I can't believe Anastasia herself is singing and reacting to her own movie for us!!

Surely this movie has a lot of failures (historically), but it's the best princes movie by far. Maybe it wasn't a box office success but it's a classic with class

dimitri is the best male love interest in all of disney and the movie wasn't even made by disney. also, OMG YOURE SUCH A GOOD SINGER

Hilariously enough, I thought the same thing about her hair. It took me a long time to realize that her hair was just done up in a bun style.

Happy birthday!

I'm a historical fiction writer and i can say that disney animated movies had NEVER... N-E-V-E-R reached the perfection of Anastasia. In all aspects, absolutly everything about the plot is brilliant and fits perfectly, is the kind of movie someone could write a thesis about, because the structure is so well done and its Literally full of historical accurate references, even the songs have a lot of Symbolism relationed with the real story, is just amazing.

Sophia Phan: *sings beautifully* RU-vid: “CopyRighTEEEED!!!!!!!!!!!”

No lie though, the moment she steps on that relic at the end when she’s fighting Rasputin reminds me of the moment in 10 things I Hate About you when Bianca punches Joey at prom and says “this if for my date, this is for my sister and this is for me” lol the parallels and love both movies 💕

I will never get over the fact that they casted Derek Klena on Broadway and it was 100% perfect.

this kind of animation was top tier quality, wish they would go back to this style

OMG Anastasia has the finest comebacks. Was Swan Princess made by the same people? Derek`s teacher slash orchestra conductor is similarly unstoppable, delivering the best burns, constantly roasting everyone in site. Would love to see your rewatch of Swan Princess by the way. People overlook the non-Disney classics far too often.

I'm such a sucker for enemies to lovers and they execute it **chefs kiss** perfectly in this movie, I'm obsessed with Dimitri and Anastasia

THOSE VOCALS THO- your voice is criminally beautiful

GIRL YOU ARE SLAYING WITH THAT VOICE - I have been blessed

omg you look just like anastasia with your outfit and hair!

Came here cus Anastasia, stayed cus Sophias singing made my lil heart melt

Honestly, Derek Klena as Dimitri in the musical is hands down, one of the best casting decisions ever!

Such an underrated movie, honestly always brings tears to my eyes

Oh 1997, when I wore out a VHS of this movie and had to get a new one. Oh wow I'm old.

Jesus Christ. After the little mermaid video, I didn't think I could be more impressed with your singing chops

24:36 I always loved the way they animated Dimitri's face in this shot. His expression makes him look so real.

Omg the hair thing always bothered me too! I thought it was just a plot hole. I can't believe I never really realised it was in a bun and not just an updo! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Also I love the fact that Winnie the Pooh sang In The Dark of the Night ❤️ makes me giggle everytime!

I don't know if you take recommendations but can you watch Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas? It is seriously underrated, I'm sure you've watched it though

THIS MOVIE IS WAYY TO UNDERRATED, LIKE THE SONGS GAVE ME CHILLS-

How can someone be this cute watching a movie?

You're absolutely adorable singing along to this HAHA ½ sing-along ½ reaction and im here for it

OMG! I never realized how much of a MacGuffin the dog was until Sophia mentioned it. Also happy birthday Sophia!

Well, Rasputin was still an evil man. The movie just bumped it up to eleven.

I always wondered why Dmitri didn't just tell Anastasia how she escaped from the Palace, I mean he thought of everything but didn't thing that would be a question? I know it was for the dramatic reveal for Dmitri to figure out Anastasia's identity but it always bothered me

27:28 Something that made me laugh, looking back on this as an adult, is how the Empress commands Dimitri to, “Stop this car,” as if she thinks that’s actually going to stop him! 🤣

H A P P Y B I R T D A Y You have definitely become one of my favourite youtubers ever.

the world needs a wall-e reaction

GIRL YOUR SINGING IS SO GOOD. LIKE SERIOUSLY, THAT IS A VOICE!!!

Dimitri is my standard for all men. Just the way that he keeps an eye out for Anya while they're traveling together is so good.

You’re so talented wtf

There are 3 movies in my life that I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen them. They are forever etched in my brain. Breakfast at Tiffany's, Ever After, and Anastasia. Easily make up three of my top 5 movies. This movie is not perfect in a lot of ways, but it is just SO good. I'm glad there are others out there that love it as much as I do! One of the grocery stores here actually plays 'At the Beginning' occasionally and I sing along every damn time... Also, Happy Birthday!~

30:20 Those two tiaras were actual russian tiaras. Anastasia wears a kokoshnik tiara which belonged to empress Marie. Queen Alexandra of Great Britain liked that tiara so women from comittee "Ladies of society" ordered one for her from the Garrard crown jeweler. That tiara is still in the family, worn now by her great grandaughter, Queen Elizabeth II. Empress Marie's tiara was lost after the revolution. The tiara that empress Marie wears in the movie actually belonged to grand duchess Maria Pavlovna, main rival of empress Marie. It was called Vladimir tiara. After her death in 1920, her children sold the tiara to british Queen Mary and it also belongs to Queen Elizabeth II now. It was originally worn with emeralds, but it can also be worn with pearls or without anything (like in the movie).

so we’re not gonna talk about sophia’s beautiful voice

This movie will ALWAYS be labeled as legendary. I know there is already a live action film, but I hope Disney does not mess this up.

Sophia: Imagine you're 8 years old-me eight years old-thinking this is like really what happened. me, 15 years old: this isn't what actually happened?

OH MY GOD, you are literally the only person ever I’ve seen on RU-vid watch Anastasia. Best movie EVERRRRR. THANK YOU THANK YOU. Also happy birthday babes ✌️

Girl, you ate those notes tf!!! You harmonized so well I couldn’t distinguish your voice from the movie

Can we get a full cover of you singing Once Upon A December? Honestly your singing voice is gorgeous, gave me chills

Anistaisa nightmare scared me to death and it still does.

“Home, love, family. There was once a time I must’ve had them too” I am in LOVE with that bit 😍❤️

Greatest animated princess movie. On the rare occasion the end song comes on in grocery stores, I start singing. This is my childhood 😊

"It was more a change of heart " Best line of the movie for me!! :)

I just love listening to people talk about things they love in such a passionate way

the "oh sure. blame the bat, we're easy targets." part...how we blame covid on bats too

Hank Azaria as Bartok is my favorite part of this movie. "I'll give her a ha! And a hiyaa! And I'll kick her, sir..." So cute!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate her voice?? My god, you are so good

Wow. I can't get enough of your singing voice. Your vibrato is insanely good. Happy belated birthday!

Omg same about the hair. I always thought she had short hair in the beginning and then the long hair was, I don’t even know what, a princess transformation?😂

Sophia: This is also gonna be a sing along. Me: hmmm, I wonder how much she will sing to it. Sophia during the opening: TUN NUN NUN NUUUUN. TUN TUN TUN. TUN NUN NUN NUUUUUUN. TUN TUN NUN. TUN NUN NUN NUUUUUUUUUN!!!

gurl you're singing so beautifully i can't- and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I love this move so much it was such a bisexual awakening for me I just love it and always will 😤

The scene where she finally sees her grandmother again was very well done. It had so much emotion in it. I also love that in all of Don Bluths movies basically all the main characters look the same. Anastasia, Thumbelina, the pebble and the penguin and an American tail were my favorite Don Bluth movies. Of course I loved all of The Land before Time movies too.

Anastasia is my favorite animated movie ever and probably the reason I love the "love/hate relationship" in shipping so much.

watching Anastasia as a kid literally formed me as a human being. i am at my core her

I was so obsessed with Bartok the Magnificent as a kid, I was flung when I found out it was a spinoff to Anastasia! I watched these two on loop for weeks, they're soooo good

It's cute how much you love this movie. Also, I love to hear you sing.

I was so obsessed with the movie that I bought the book "Romanov." 🤭

YES TURN UP FOR THIS ONE

No one is talking about how good your voice sounds like when you sing. I get goosebumps everytime

i think i just realized where my obsession with the enemies to lovers tropes comes from

That singing voice though

Happy birthday!!! :D anastasia is such a great film! i learned a lot about the russian revolution when i got older and omg is it super depressing but this movie is so much fun xD

my birthday was only 3 days ago, i didnt know that our birthdays were so close together 😊 happy birthday💜✨ 🥳

happy late birthday !!! i am now officially declaring that every time i watch this god blessed masterpiece film i will ONLY think about sophia phan (edit: and her beautiful singing voice omg)

Sophia sings so well! I hope she can be persuaded to post covers of songs (or even her own) on her channel someday.

Happy Birthday! Wow I never watched this movie but now it's one of my favorites. I got so hyped that I searched up if this was based on a true story. And it was. I looked for hours. This movie had some right things (historically) but most things were wrong. (not as a bad thing) Like Anastasia did not survive, she passed away with her family. Buuuuuuuuut her grandmother was alive and was waiting for her just like in the movie! Again Happy Birthday and best of luck!!!!!! (Edit) Hmmm Rasputin also was not alive when Anastasia passed away. I just searched that Rasputin had a son named Dimitri like WHAT! Overall one of the best movies and thank you for sharing it!

I owned an Anastasia and Dmitry doll set and that just shaped my whole childhood

I feel like you'd like sinbad

I love this moment so much. It's basically a animated rom com in the most perfect way. I watch it like at least 15 times a year. also happy (belated) birthday! :)

She says “then stop bossing me around” then staup brssing me arwnd

I was so obsessed with Anastasia that I watched the musical too it's so so good

i love this movie so much, it was literally my childhood and it's so nice to see someone rewatch it with the same love for it! another amazing video!

Seeing you constantly sing along and quote the movie is so cute!

me and my nana used to watch this movie together together so much when i was younger and she would always ask me to sing the songs to her over the phone 😩🥺 such good memories, this movie is so underrated and dimitri had my heart when i was lil 😂💓
