Anastasia is an American animated film released by Fox Animation Studios, and United International Pictures in 1997. It was Fox Animation's first film, and remains their most successful to date. The film was produced and directed by former Fox animators Don Bluth and Gary Goldman, and features the voice talents of Meg Ryan, John Cusack, Kelsey Grammer, Christopher Lloyd, Hank Azaria, Bernadette Peters, and Angela Lansbury. The film was loosely based on the historic tragedy of the Execution of the Romanov Family, and the possibility of there being a lone survivor, the youngest daughter, Grand Duchess Anastasia.
