Bartok the Magnificent, contrary to previous report, was not an actual sequel. If you watched Anastasia, and know anything about history, you already know that the the Czar has not only abdicated, but has also been killed, with the exception of Anya. While companies are not fully true to history, at the time Anastasia was made, it was believed that the infamous Romanoff was still alive, and going by the name Anya, later disproved. Bartok the Magnificent is the sequel prequel, lol. Make sense? It was made after Anastasia, but judging from the palace(The palace was destroyed in Anastasia), and the fact that the Romanoff line is still alive, it is most likely a prequel. However, this doesn't destroy the beautiful animation and storyline it has. I honestly was not thinking highly of this movie at first glance, however, after watching it, I LOVED it. This movie is adorable and the animation of Baba's Skull Guardian thing, is well, magnificent. This is definitely a cute movie for the whole family to watch, and is undoubtedly worth your while, despite the lack of hubbub about it.
