Musical Hell TV: Secret of Anastasia 

Sabrina McClain nah, she is downright being cynical...

@@SEELE-ONE well in this fictional incident, yes, the grandmother is a hurt old woman hardening herself against disappointment. What the original commentator is referring to is the real life incident where Anna Anderson (the woman who impersonated Anastasia) was effectively cashing in on a tragedy.

I couldn't help but notice how cartoonishly harsh they made the grandmother and for no other reason than as just a lazy way to make us feel sorry for Anastasia. I know this is brought up way too much in these Anastasia films and people are mostly sick of it, but in the Don Bluth version.. the grandmother is clearly heartbroken and a bit dismissive of Anastasia when they first meet (though not without good reason), but the grandmother is still civil with her, doesn't dish out insults to her, and listens to what Anastasia has to say even though she's convinced that she's not the real Anastasia, she has a small slither of hope that she is her. Also in the Bluth one, Anastasia doesn't insult the grandmother back and break down crying when she's dismissed, she empathizes with the grandmother's heartbreak because she lost her family also and as such gently reaches out in as though to say "I don't know if I'm the real Anastasia or not. I do know that I just want a family and it's clear to me you want yours back to you. I wish I could bring them back, but I can't. The only thing I can do is ask that you give me a chance to find help me figure out who I am. To give me a chance to be your family."

SEELE ONE that or this shitty ripoff

“It was time for Thomas to leave. He had seen everything.”

Even if she survied, life as she knew it with Russia woulda changed so drastically her status wouldn't matter. Surviving that massecure would have just prolonged her execution.

sweetophelia tell me about it! this is just as braindead as animated Titanic-films!

Maybe she sent the instruments to get her food

If the instruments eat food then do they shit?

​@@arisans2987 "...Is that a tuba carrying a bag of groceries?" "Yeah, he comes to town every Wednesday."

True

Ahem brother

And there's a Broadway actor in it. Her name is Kelli Rabke. Earl Hammond (Jaga/Mumm-Ra) is in it, too.

Wait, she was on broadway? Did not know that.

Elsie Not Giving You My Last Name In the words of Captain America: "I understood that reference". :P

Brian Humerez true that

😂😂😂😂😂

Appropriate, since they're both redheads.

Elsie good one 10/10

+LegendsP Also this movie has the same damn twist as frozen. I mean fuck that shit.

Well, they can notice when the instruments aren't going in "disguise"

I have the suspicion that my neighbors trumpet could secretly be Micheal jackson but I need more evidence

Gage Peruti that stepsister was also a redhead

@ 12:49- She kinda morphs into Annabelle from "The Conjuring" if she scalped Ariel and is wearing her hair as a wig.

I have a theory that anastasia did survive, she was just adopted by the evil stepmother

Lol 😂

Anastasia was probably the Tsars least favourite because she was boisterous a bit of a tomboy. When he saw that was just the umbilical cord he stormed out in a huff. Granted this could be because she was a lot younger than the other three but Alexi who was close in age. Not only was he the only boy but also sick. So this could be her way of getting attention.

@@nifralo2752 this is actually way off; Nicholas and Alexandra were very family oriented, and the Anastasia’s birth was less “storming off in a huff” and more “general disappointment because of numerous miscarriages and the possibility of not having being able to bear children anymore while having no heir”. While Anastasia was known to be a brat and pretty mean, it’s important to remember that she was barely seventeen when she was killed and most anecdotes about her were from before she was ten. And fun fact, she also had issues with bad health, as did her sisters. It is very likely that they were carriers of hemophilia, and could have suffered less severe joint pains and bleeding issues as their brother with significantly less attention paid to it.

@@C.V317 i thought only boys got it?

The fact that they mentioned Moscow, despite the capital at that time being St. Petersburg aka Petrograd shows that they didn't really care about historical accuracy or authenticity. Especially in regards of the design of the buildings and characters which are not even close to the real ones. I mean does this look like the Winter Palace to you? Even the crossing at 2:29 is incorrect

@@nifralo2752 it is very rare for girls to get it. But even carriers can have lesser symptoms of it, such as heavy bleeding or swollen joints. It used to be called “mild hemophilia”.

Or Petrograd as they called

That's true.

I only just realized that....Hmmmm, maybe she likes older men

King Boo Also he says he'll cover all his expenses but how can he do that? He says after the revolution he had nothing and he was a general loyal to the royal family who were OVERTHROWN?? WHO IS HE CURRENTLY WORKING FOR? HOW IS HE ALLOWED TO WALK AROUND IN THE OPEN, COME TO THAT??

It's almost like this movie doesn't make a lot of sense

I mean at least if they went by the actual age at the time she would have been about 17 when the revolution happened so the age difference wouldn’t have been that big, but it does look like she was indeed a child in this movie just like in the Don Bluth version. Also it shows the incompetence of the USSR in this movie is Anastasia spent many years living in the Imperial Palace and no one captured her.

My thoughts exactly

Very true

Considering the only other thing on her resume is Kenny The Shark, I’m tempted to agree with you.

Layla Hellsing Rothbart is a much fairer comparison.

Actually, that's the plot of ALL the Anastasia movies. Don Bluth's film was based on the 1956 film made by fox, which in turns was based on a play by Marcelle Maurette.

@@kieranmahon4382 - It also happened a lot in real life, since 2 of the Romanov bodies weren't found until 2007. The last body identified was actually Maria not Anastasia.

@@goawayleavemealone2880 Well yeah, that's where the writers of these stories all got their ideas. Or namely, the one particularly famous scammer of Anna Anderson, who-surprise surprise-turned out to be a scammer.

YES. When I first tried watching this, I couldn't even get through the first five minutes.

Also they changed Tatiana's name to Titiana.

It's Voldemort in drag!

Kahran042 oml XD

FUUUUUUUCCKKK

Kahran042 So Anastasia left Vladimir to fuck a black girl.

And what does that tell you about this Anastasia? Given that Clara was already a twisted, mocking perversion of every other Disney princess...

It was Maestro Forte in Beauty and the Beast the Enchanted Christmas (that lame Christmas special). So where's my cookie?

I'M BOLTED TO THE WALL ! Ah, I love Forte. I want a 10 hour version of that.

Tim Curry's lips!

@@suburban8425 CORRECT! Cookie for you :)

Just enough budget to animate *TIM CURRY'S LIPS!!!!!!!!*

Like, say, every color-coordinated shirt-and-hat overalls-wearing facial-hair-having character within Mario? Including baby versions of them?

Yo that would be a super dope idea.

I loved that movie growing up!

You're completely right

I am a girl like you intensifies

How can it be a ripoff when its predates it like a decade? Barbie movie is the ripoff.

Nah, he'd probably be a guitar

SING, MY ANGEL OF MUSIC!

😂😂😂😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣

Kristie Kat Also to the Phantom of the Opera, Davy Jones, and other moody broody organist types....

Musical Hell lol I like the Phantom but yeah I can see where you are going with that stereotype. But since they are talking inanimate objects a la Disney's BATB might as well throw in a talking inanimate object example lol

Musical Hell Mystery Science Theater 3,000, but with musicals!

Musical Hell You mentioned the Librarian as soon as you saw the orangutan. SOMEONE'S been reading DISC-world...

Catherine Lipscomb Naturally. *pours one out for Terry Pratchett*

harrietamidala1691 Seconded. The Tsars were the ones who drove my ancestors out

turkishvan2 Are you Jewish too?

harrietamidala1691 Yup

turkishvan2 Figures. There's actually a bit of a joke in my family about whether our bloodlines came from Russia or Poland depending on the year (when Poland was part of the Russian Empire). I always keep forgetting which side of the family came from Russia or Poland, maternal or paternal. Only thing I can be certain about (and strongly attached to) is my English heritage through my paternal line, but my grandparents themselves were ethnic brits, second or third generation at best guess.

harrietamidala1691 Haha, same here, except it's my father's side where we have the confusion.

You picture kills me more/

Is that a bad thing?? I really happen to like Yumoto c:

Yes. I hate that series, but it's a nice picture though.

...oh...well I love the show...but everyone has their own opinions c:

Yup

Grainne or Grace Quinn Young kids used to drink all the time..it was more sanitary than water. Also, water was added in to purify it and dilute the alcohol.

AGREED!!!!!!!

She did apply for Channel Awesome, but it fell through. The #ChangetheChannel began and Christie felt she dodged a bullet.

@@llewelynshingler2173 Fair point. After all, there's only room for ONE member of darkness! And spoilers, it won't be Doug's co-stars.

That face is what I see at night when I have sleep paralysis

12:49 is worse

Now that's Titanic: the Legend Goes On's faces for ya!

I doubt either that, or the one listed below, is intentional. I think they meant to make her look sad and curiously reassuring, respectively.

She is how to manga girl!

Then comes Golden Films's take on Beauty and the Beast, wherein Diva makes fun of Beast by saying that Donkey Kong looks good with hair down.

Me too! XD

Thomas in Russia one day in 1927 the fat ass director came up to Thomas one day "Thomas I've been ordered by the society's to work in mother Russia until 1938 better not cause delay" he said "will do!" A few days later Thomas arrived and the controller said to him "take passenger train cyka" "okay?" So Thomas took the train it was a snowy run it reminded him how he got stuck in the show all those years ago then some weird or lady and some talking instruments came on the train "the fuck is this!?" So Thomas warned the conductor of the train and they were kicked out with a weird red guy

Phelous doesn't like the Nostalgia Critic.

Act like _dignified_ abominations of nature!

Ghostwriter Golden Films put Rasputin in their Anastasia story....and he was kind of an idiot in that, soooo...it's for the best that he was left out.

Andrew Ollmann the one likable character is his dog

Historically he was dead before the revolution and was not apart of the Romanoff execution, although it is weird that this low budget movie with talking instruments to get that right.

ImaNerdANDaGeek Well a broken clock is right twice a day. An analog one at any rate.

The historical accuracy was a convenient way to claim ignorance of copyright infringement. Along with the inclusion of the talking instruments.

I know right? Just rewatched A night at the opera, so I was cracking up.

To Be a Princess will always be superior
