In the years between The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Aladdin and Disney animation's triumphant return to form with 2013's Frozen, Walt Disney Animation Studios had lost their way. It was in 1997 near the beginning of Disney's second marked decline that former Disney directors and animators Don Bluth and Gary Goldman produced a hit movie for Fox Animation Studios that was every bit as magical as these widely regarded Disney animation classics.
Anastasia is the (fictional) story of a young Russian princess who survived the extermination of her family only to be raised in a rural orphanage with no memory of her past life.
This film contains:
1) Astoundingly beautiful hand-drawn animation
2) Equally beautiful (and in some cases very poor) computer animated elements that were way before their time
3) A masterful musical score that will echo through your head for hours
4) An all star cast of voice actors
5) A strong and confident heroine that will shame all pre-Frozen Disney heroines
6) A classic Disney princess tale that your kids will love and that you'll enjoy just as much
Yet you've likely never seen this movie or vaguely remember it ever existed...why is this?
1) It's not actually Disney so it doesn't show up on your radar when you look for classic Disney films
2) Certain plot elements are distasteful for a G rated children's movie and dramatically reduce the appeal of this otherwise amazing film.
3) It blindly follows the Disney formula resulting in a very weak villain and sidekick element that distracts from the beauty of the film
4) It's over reliance on computer generated animation elements results in a climatic scene that is almost unwatchable by today's standards
Please allow me to introduce you and your children to, Anastasia: Lost Princess of Russia!
With this fanedit I have turned 1997's Anastasia into the quintessential Disney princess movie. My goals were to: remove most of the distasteful devil worshiping elements from the movie's central villain, to give the movie a proper villain by removing excess silliness from the characters of Rasputin and his sidekick Bartok, to remove poorly conceived computer generated imagery that clashes with the beautiful hand drawn animation, and to generally redeem a film that deserves a place alongside any Disney princess collection.

Which part do you disagree with? That the period between 1994's The Lion King up until recently was a decline in feature quality for Disney Animation Studios?
