Jenna Marie X I should also mention - I liked it so much that I named one of my furbebbes Anya.
-
gauravguptaster I totally agree with you! This was my first favourite animated movie as a child; it still is. And this is the perfect kind of animated film.
-
Jenna Marie X It really is so much fun. I probably watch it about every 6 months. The artistry is still superb even next to newer animation.
-
gauravguptaster Agreed. I wonder why the team who made this movie did not make other movies?!
-
Jenna Marie X You know, that's an excellent question! Don Bluth made several good movies through the 80's culminating in this one which I think is his best by far, in 1997... and then nothing?? I'll have to do some research and see if I can figure out what happened.

Jenna Marie X Okay, according to IMDB:
"His [Don Bluth's] team was disbanded after FOX Animation Studios shut down. Currently, he has his own website, donbluthanimation.com, where you can find tutorials, a discussion forum, and instructional DVDs."
Regarding Titan A.E., which came out shortly after Anastasia in the late 1990's: "Basically, Fox mismanaged the project and brought in Bluth to save it, and when the movie ended up flopping Fox blamed him and disbanded their animation company."

gauravguptaster That explains a lot of things. What a shame it had to end this way and for someone so talented. Imagine if Don Bluth and Miyazaki ever worked on a movie together ;)
