Whoever hated this movie, must be told, that this is so much more watchable than Richard Rich's King and I. Not to mention a truly sweet romance between Anastasia and Dimitri. There is a lot of wit between the characters. The characters are well drawn, and the backgrounds and colours are stunning. A couple of years ago, I got it on video, and all those memories came back.
