[[File:anastasiagu4.jpg|frame| The answer? [[Reality Subtext|Anastasia and her family were all killed in real life.]] Kind of a [[Downer Ending]], huh?]]

In 1916, Nicholas II, Czar of Russia, and his family, the Romanovs, were very happy until they were cursed by the evil [[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.

 

Got a [[Direct to Video]] prequel in the form of ''[[Bartok the Magnificent]]'',<ref>(though all it has in common with the first movie is...Bartok. And that it's set in an even less historically accurate version of Russia.)</ref> which deals with the plucky little bat impressing people with his "[[Blatant Lies|special abilities]]". It's important to note that this is the only sequel that Bluth has ever been involved with.

* [[All Animation Is Disney]]: Falls victim to this quite often. One of its more [[Disneyesque]] home video covers even provides the page image.
