  • Anya/Anastasia (character)
rdfs:comment
  • The character is based on Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, but deviates from the real life person's exection at the hands of Russian revolutionaries by having her escape. Nevertheless, The New York Times asks, "if the cartoon has the young princess (with the voice of Meg Ryan) meeting up with a handsome young con man (John Cusack) who persuades her to pretend to be the lost czarina, not knowing she really is the lost czarina, is it really much more farfetched than the real-life assertions of the best-known pretender, Anna Anderson, that she was Anastasia even though she could not speak Russian?"
