* HammerAndSickleRemovedForYourProtection: The film has zero references to communism and makes no mention of the bad guys' ideological leanings. Really, the closest it gets is naming one of the villains "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheka Cheka]]" and having him wear a red star on his hat.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: ZigZagged. While it's still blatantly a work of fantasy, what with the talking musical instruments, this movie actually gets a few details ''right'' that the movie it's ripping off didn't! For example, it doesn't depict the Russian Revolution as being caused by an evil sorcerer.

Sound familiar? As par the course for UAV, the film is a blatant [[TheMockbuster Mockbuster]] of [[Creator/DonBluth Don Bluth's]] film ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}''. That being said, it ''does'' correct some of the mistakes from Bluth's film (while adding even more of its own). For example, it portrays Anastasia's grandmother as living in her native UsefulNotes/{{Denmark}} after the Revolution, as well as pronouncing Anastasia the Russian way (ah-nah-STAH-see-yah). It also doesn't pretend that the UsefulNotes/RussianRevolution was caused by an evil sorcerer's spell. And, technically speaking, we have no proof against the fate ''this'' story cooked up for the Romanovs!
