While Anastasia never hit Beauty and the Beast levels of recognition, fate had one last ironic twist. When Disney bought 20th Century Fox in 2019, Anastasia technically became a Disney princess.

On “ Alexandra,” by far the darkest episode of the season, we saw how this can be a problem, visiting the tragic past of Alex – or I should say, Princess Alexandra Anastasia Udinoff.

How do the claims of Princess Anastasia's survival begin? Why did people want her to survive? And why do humans need to believe in myths?

Anastasia (1997) Anastasia certainly has the look and feel of a Disney movie, including some musical numbers, a brave princess and a terrifying animated villain.
