This DVD comes with a free digital copy which is downloadable. Great bonus. I wasn't aware of that and therefore wasn't expecting a cardboard case. It was a gift for a child so I would have preferred the hard plastic case but it wasn't a big issue.

I just got this Blu ray of this movie today at Walmart much cheaper then what Amazon has it for. But the movie I have seen a lot on tv. This is not a Disney movie it was made by 20th Century Fox The blu ray has way more bonus features then all the previously released dvds. The picture is great if you have a blu ray get this movie. Also included is the direct to video release called Bartok The Maginficent also in HD. Also the Aaliyah music video for her version of Journey to the Past but not included is the video to At The Begining

This review is for the Blu Ray version of Anastasia. Regrettably, there is not a DVD version included, but the Blu Ray is high quality with a few fun extra features (a couple of games, a drawing Anastasia tutorial, etc.)

All in all, a good buy, as long as the price stays low.

It is a great animated movie, but I won't give the movie a full review since most folks looking to buy the Blu Ray already have seen and love the movie.

I was very happy with the price plus you geta free digit copy of it.As for the historical context, there was a Bolsevik Revolution during the first minutes of the movie,indeed they had a search to see if she was alive for this time and someone did try to be her. Unfortunally for Anastasia and her family were tragically killed a couple of years after the Revoluition. Eventhough I know the historical truth of this movie, I still love the magical part to it and the singing. This movie is still one of my favorite movies.

This was great because you recieved a copy for DVD viewing and I was able to down load the digital copy onto my iPhone for my grand kids to watch in the car.

My 3 girls and I love this movie! Not sure of the historical accuracy (especially the "magical" element--of course), but the storyline and music were wonderful. We also bought the soundtrack.

Thought I was getting a sweet deal on this Blu-Ray until I visited Sam's CLUB today and saw it, new, for more than half off of what I paid here at Amazon. I love Amazon, I use it all the time because I'm confident they have the best price, but Sam's Club has the Anastasia Blu-Ray for 9.95. Geesh. That's all, I wanted to save you 11 bucks if I can =)

Until Nemo, Cars, Bugs life etc I didn't really watch this type of movie. Since then I have gone back to watch several animated movies, this is one of the best I have seen. The music is perfect as is the story-line. It is a film for all ages. Can't wait to see what it looks like on Blu-ray
