Did Anastasia deserve to die for her family's crimes against Fieval's family?

I've always found it interesting that "Anastasia" and "An American Tail" were made by the same guy...

My mom got us "An American Tail" as kids, since we were Jewish, and a Disney-like movie with Jewish characters was a one-of-a-kind thing. ("The Prince of Egypt" was still a few years away. Yes, I'm that old.) More to the point, my dad's side of the family is largely Russian Jews, who immigrated in the early 1920s, for exactly the same reasons as the Mouskewitz. Being a child of this background and very literally obsessed with cats, I had mixed feelings about the movie.

When "Anastasia" came out a few years later, Mom didn't let that history stop us from enjoying the new princess movie, but she didn't shelter us from it either. We regarded it like we did the real history behind any sugar-coated princess movie. She even got us some history books about the real Romanov family, and we were fascinated by the subject.

Still, it's an odd elephant in the room, watching "Anastasia" and knowing that her granddad was the one who sent those Cossack cats after Fievel's village, and her dad himself continued doing it to the Jewish mice who didn't leave.

"Go, Pompom, Kibble and Fluff-Baron! Kill those Jew mice, and I'll give you extra catnip treats tonight!"

Don Bluth presents both the Romannov family and their victims with equal sympathy, even opening both movies with the family celebrating a holiday, with the kid heroes getting a plot-specific present, before being viciously attacked.

"Wow Grandmama! Fieval and Tanya could use this as a merry-go-round!"

*Cough* "Yes uh, about those Jewish mice Sweetie..."

Bluth's portrayal of the Romanov family is not entirely inaccurate. By all accounts, Nicholas II was a deeply loving father who both doted on his children, but raised them not to be spoiled. Despite being royalty, the princesses shared bedrooms and did charity work at hospitals.

It's a baffling irony that Nicholas was nevertheless was a tyrant, and not remotely just to his Jewish subjects. When I was about twelve, Mom got me the Dear America book A Coal Miner's Bride, about the Catholic Polish immigrants who also fled the oppression of the Russian Tzar. (Anastasia's family conquered part of Poland in the 1800s, banning the Pols from speaking their own language and drafting their sons into the Tzar's dick-measuring contest wars.) Anyway, that's what my mom's side of the family was fleeing when they immigrated. Yes, my family has double reason to hate the Romanovs.

So, I personally don't have a lot of sympathy for Nicholas II. But the horrors his poor wife and children endured in their final moments never fails to get the reaction from me.

The rationalization for the murder of the children and queen was that it was the only way to ensure that the monarchy never returned. But I assume most modern-thinking people would say that the ends do not justify the means in this case.

That said, millions of families like Anetka's and Fievel's suffered as bad or worse than the Romanovs, because of the Romanovs, and no one remembers them because they didn't wear tiaras. This no doubt was another factor that killed sympathy for the Romanov children. But they were still children.

The question today is, if we can feel for a family that was literal royalty, despite their father being an undeniable tyrant against our own families...can we also feel for Palestinian and Israeli families, during a conflict that is vastly more complicated than Imperial Russia?

Or do they need to be cute mice and glittery princesses to get our attention?

What an honor to meet Jodi Benson! I decided to draw a custom piece to have her sign so I can frame it. Also, I had the best idea for my 100 years Disney spirit jersey. I really genuinely hate the overall color because I’m not a pastel girly. Using it as a signing board and having it framed like a sports jersey was the greatest epiphany I’ve ever had in my life. Now I’m gonna drag it to every con when there’s a Disney human.

Anastasia x Male!Reader. Anastasia having her memories lost but ended up falling in love with the same boyfriend.

Anastasia runs into Y/N…

Y/N: A-Ana?

Anastasia: why do I feel as if I know you? You seem so familiar

Y/N: I suppose it has been a long time.

Anastasia: I feel I owe you so much

Y/N: you owe me nothing it was just my job. W-would you like to go out for some coffee?

Anastasia: coffee in Paris? Sounds wonderful

Y/N leads Anastasia down the street under the twinkling lights of the City of Love…

More editing shenanigans. I have red—headed Odette a sister this time around.

[pixie-skull]

My 290th edit and wanted to continue the bringing concept art of characters to life, and wow, I have a character crush on Jasmine, but she looks great with her hair down.

People are making memes over their F/0s?? I wanna join the fun!

I had to make some adjustments, since in my F/Os/comfort character's there's no "Why are you even here" or "You were done dirty", but still, hope you like it. ^^

Anastasia pondering

Finished in May 31, 2023

I would sell my soul to watch Don Bluth’s 1997 Anastasia for the first time again. What a fucking movie man. Best movie in the world. I am captivated every single time.

I usually imagine Medb as the villain of an animated film (i.e. the most fabulous with the best musical act) more specifically, as Shrek's Fairy Godmother and her cover of the song "Holding Out for a Hero"

She makes me think of a Don Bluth character, and I def agree, she would get the best songs though

I've been listening to In the Dark of the Night for two hours straight
