* DisneyDeath / BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Vladimir]].

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 a few mistakes from Bluth's films. Such as portraying Anastasia's grandmother as living in her native Denmark after the Revolution, as well as pronouncing Anastasia the Russian way (ah-nah-STAH-see-yah). It also doesn't pretend that the Russian Revolution was caused by an evil sorcerer's spell.

* VillainSong: [[spoiler: Prince Paul (aka Cheka)]] gets one.

''The Secret of Anastasia'' is a 1997 DirectToVideo AnimatedMusical by Creator/UAVEntertainment. It follows the journey of the lost russian princess Anastasia to find her family, the Dowager Empress.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: [[spoiler:Prince Paul is blonde and an evil man.]]
