[[Don Bluth]]'s 1997 [[Disneyfication|very loose adaption]] of a 1956 Ingrid Bergman film, which itself was already [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story|very, very loosely based]] on the 'life' of the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia. The story of '''''Anastasia ''''' goes like this...
 
In 1916, Nicholas II, Czar of Russia, and his family, the Romanovs, were very happy until they were cursed by the evil [[Grigori Rasputin the Mad Monk|Rasputin]] and their people revolted against them [[Hammer and Sickle Removed For Your Protection|for some mystical reason]], aided by demons. All of the Romanovs apparently died in the attack except the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna Romanova, the Czar's mother. A young kitchen boy helped Marie and one of the Czar's daughters, the eight-year-old Anastasia, escape. However, she and Marie got separated when Anastasia fell from a train and, presumably, died.
 
Ten years later (1926), Anya, an eighteen-year-old orphan making her way in the world for the first time, decides to head for Paris. She hopes to find her family there, guided by the message "Together in Paris" inscribed on the [[Orphan's Plot Trinket|necklace she was found with]] in an [[Easy Amnesia|amnesiac state]] as a child.
