So yeah, if you thought by any chance a new year would mean I’d start being more discriminating about what I watch, you were obviously wrong. I saw the above image posted on someone’s Tumblr ages ago and I’ve wanted to see the movie ever since. That single line resonated loudly enough to sell it to me.
And y’know what? I actually thought it was pretty good. I mean, I’m vaguely embarrassed to say it, but I have to admit I thought it was really, really lovely and romantic. And, cue more embarrassment, that Anastasia was as beautiful a princess as I’ve seen in an animated movie. I honestly found myself quite enchanted by her and it. I just wish it didn’t keep breaking away from the adorable John Cusack and Meg Ryan romance to focus on Christopher Lloyd’s lame villain and all the sorcery stuff. If it stuck to princesses and romance, I’d have been all in.
No explanations as to how or why I’ve become such a little girl.
