1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** Anastasia's songs, "In the Sun" and "You'll Be With Me in My Heart". Having a beautiful voice helps.
3	** "Prince Charmless" is also a good song. It has a good melody and singing, and the song is quite catchy.
4	* CaptainObviousReveal:
5	** [[spoiler:Prince Paul and Cheka were the same character all along. It would have been a good twist had Paul not appeared ObviouslyEvil or constantly being accompanied by Cheka’s goons and pet crow. Not helping the fact that Paul’s voice actor didn’t even bother to differentiate his voice from Cheka’s.]]
6	** [[spoiler:The living musical instruments were Anastasia’s deceased family’s spirits. They all physically resemble the royal family, and they outright say each other’s names that practically give away their identities from the start.]]
7	* HilariousInHindsight:
8	** A red-haired princess who has two men interested in her, [[spoiler: and is unaware that one of them is an evil PrinceCharmless who's only using her for a more sinister agenda]]? That also happens in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen\|2013}}''.
9	** Speaking of Disney, a princess [[spoiler:uses the power of singing in order to revive her love interest from death.]] Are we talking about The Secret of Anastasia or ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}''?
10	* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: The singing voice of Anastasia. For a direct-to-video mockbuster, they managed to find a genuinely talented singer to voice her.
11	* SpecialEffectFailure: When Anastasia sings "In the Sun" for first time, she and her instruments are colored black and blue, without details. That coloring can be noted easily.
12	* StrangledByTheRedString: Anastasia and Vladimir. They barely establish their romantic feelings for one another during their time together. At one point, they openly state that they're falling in love with each other when Vladimir is teaching her how to act like a princess. It also doesn't help that Vladimir was a soldier serving the Tsar while Anastasia was a little girl at the time, putting him somewhere in between his 30's to 50's.
13	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "Be With Me In My Heart" has opening notes that are practically ''identical'' to the opening notes of [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas "As Long As There's Christmas"]]
14	* TheUntwist: Some viewers, including WebVideo/{{Phelous}}, found the foreshadowing for the twist rather explicit.
15	* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: There are several references to alcohol (including a gag where a drunk man sees one of the talking instruments and [[NoMoreForMe decides to give up alcohol]]), the Cheka use guns and actually fire them at multiple points, and [[spoiler: Cheka mentions that he wants to take Anastasia back to Russia alive so she can be ''hanged'']]. Yet it's still undeniably a children's movie.
