Haunted memories
>> Thursday, October 30, 2008
In the 1997 animated feature, Anastasia, (Don Bluth, 20th Century Fox), we're treated to a spectacular scene in which Anya is confronted with the memories from a past she has long forgotten. As she sings the haunting, Once Upon a December, ghosts from her past as a child in the court of her father, Tzar Nicholas, burst forth from the paintings hung high upon the walls, and dance with her around the hall. It's an absolutely stunning scene, and remains one of my favorites of any animated film I've seen.

I loved this but traditionalist that I am I loved the movie best.
You know, I've never seen this! Several years ago, I was in a huge Russian mode, and read everything I could about the Tzar and his family, especially Anastasia. Haunting tragedy.
