- Don Bluth has made some great films, but does Anastasia’s comic relief fall in that category? Critic looks at the odd little spin off that takes flight in Bartok the Magnificent.

Channel Awesome honestly this one. It was always my favorite
Channel Awesome He should make Dragon’s Lair a movie.
an American Tale & fival goes west considering that's the only two Don Bluth movies i grew up watching
I grew up on this, thanks for giving it a good review.
«bartok the magnificent” blew my brain in childhood: is bartok at least 200 years old?
1:42, okay seriously, what's that music? also, what's with the dig on Kurt on 9:39? Kurt's awesome!
Why did cabbage make me laugh so hard
Pilof is a russian dessert
10:27
*Cabbage.*
He had to bring her rice?
I'm Russian! Я из россии
I loved and still love this film :3
I actually saw this movie before ever watching Anastasia so when I was little I always thought “woah they featured Bartok in this?”
Kidnapped the Romanov
That’s when I realized I crushed so hard on you
You know you're out there!
And you're weird!
This has to be a prequel due to the fact there is still ruling royalty, meaning Bartok becomes Rasputin's minion some point after this.....I'm just gonna think that he was more forced to be his minion and not do it on his own cause I actually like this little guy.
I actually really liked the music in this movie, specifically "Possible Hero" that Zozie and Bartok sing. I just like the message it had.
5:55 SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
There's always Smaug. He's a cool dragon.
7:18 or the first Dragonball villain.
What if this IS after Anastasia, and Bartok, and the girl bat just split up, that's plausible.
Like a year or so afterwards, when Bartok is no longer upset about breaking up with her.
🤷♀
I would sh*t my pants if I meet with a talking white bat. He is really magnificent, that's for sure.
Don Bluth's Tequila Joseph Joestar.
Vodka Kelsey Grammer.
I've noticed a trend in villainy, now that Doug mentions it: A lot of villains, animated or otherwise, have really, absurdly, pointed chins!
3:57 Home Alone Quote anyone? Nice reference.
Why did they make Rasputin a villain in Anastasia even though he cured a disease that King Nicholas' son
Piss off Bitch!!! 😂🤣😂
i like the original movie i still think its really good but i definitely wanna check this movie out it looks pretty good
WTF is Bartok’s accent supposed to be? It sounds like a combination of Minnesotan and southern.
The house...
IT’S GOT CHICKEN LEGS!!
Hey Titan A.E. was a good movie.
This is a very famous folk character in Russian folk tales.
By the way, "baba" means an old lady and baba Yagá is spelled in Russian like "Баба Яга".
I'm Russian.
"Yagá" not "Yagá"))
There may be mostly female dragons..... but us men have a male dragon. He is fire and death. He is Smaug!
Why do all of Don Bluth's human male leads look exactly the same XD
I wonder what a Don Bluth anime would be like... 🤔
The land before time
Pilaf? Um...
*pulls up a picture of Emperor Pilaf from Dragon Ball*
You mean this guy?
it really frustrates me when you mispronounce names that are pronounced for you in the move.
I think Don Bluth inspired Bethesda because the main plot device in the skyrim thieves guild questline is, guess what? A skeleton key! By the gods!
I haven't seen this film but I feel like I should.
8:09
Fun fact: Prince Ivan in this movie is actually Ivan Romanov (I've never heard of him either) a real life tsar from the 1600s. Which is weird because Anastasia happens in the early 1900s, meaning Bartok is over 300 years old.
I AM WEIRD
Nah fam, don't worry. We've got Smaug.
Didn't know this existed. Cool.
I still enjoy the hell out of this movie.
Also....doesn't the young prince look like Dimitri's and Anastasia's child?
It's all good and dandy, but can this Babayaga take out 3 guys with a pencil?
Anastasia has always been my favorite animated film. But I do love this one.
I love Bartok, and yet I stayed away from this movie because “AHHH SEQUEL NOO!!”. I should give it a watch! Thanks, Doug!
The time period looks way further in the past then the main movie. Are we sure Bartok isn't immortal?
THE SECRET OF NIMH AND ANASTASIA!!!! :-) They are my favorite Don Bluth movies
So then he works with an undead warlock afterwards! 😂 Cabbage.
11:40 yeah but who's weirder: the person who gets turned on by the sexy Dragon or the person who drew it?
4:23 me every time someone for the loud house fan base talks about an episode that I like nobody else likes or the other way around.
8:07 Uhh... 4chan?
Pause at 11:27
11:41 HE KNOWS
8:51 WILLY WONKA WILLY WONKA also ha!
Okay, for those who do not know (and manage to find this comment before any other with this info.) Catherine O'Hara played Ludmilla in this, but was also Sally and Shock in Noghtmare Before Christmas. If you do not remember, Lock, Shock and Barrel sang "Kidnap the Sandy Claws". So the joke "Kidnap the Romanov" is playing off this happy little coincidence.
and here I thought you were going to shit on what was one of my favorite childhood movies
**C A B B A G E**
In a cartoon, nobody ever changes their clothes. They always wear the same thing.
11:36 Don’t kink shame... them bro.
I love Bartok the magnificent and Anastasia 💗
I showed this to my mother because she bought when I was a kid ages ago and she laughed her head off! ❤
I remember I watched this movie when I was like 7-10 years old, and I liked it very much...
It was interrupted by 30 minutes commercials every 45 minutes so I've missed about half of the movie, but I remember it was very dark, creative... amazing... (great angles, colours, lore...)
Also if I remember right, Bartok was a secondery character in another movie, Anastasia or something, so I loved to see a full movie about my favourite character... (I guess xd), also there was some mysterious Mage, so it was even more amazing.
If I remember, there were even more spinnoffs about Bartok but I didn't like them whatsoever.
Or maybe I have simply liked the previous movie with the Mage, I can't remember now XD
You're weird
I love that Jennifer Tilly is in this..... Don't know why but I just do
lemme show you magic! *destroys the world* now thats magic!
♤ got any? or got ♡?
At least she doesn't try to teach Bartok how to sit on a shovel ;-)
Nostalgia Critic needs to review The Princess And The Goblin!
Baba Jaga is good? What kind of western propaganda is this?
I hated this movie and I usually like a lot of terrible Disney movies and other non Disney.
I watched this as a kid and I never cared about Anastasia. I don't think I even knew Anastasia existed!
You like a shitty cabbage joke cause Don Bluth sucked your dick.
Piloff is adorable tbh.
That Nightmare before Christmas reference was great...
Thank god you are not review anastasia
Anastasia 1/10( I hated this movie ever snice i was 4 year old )
Bartok the magnificent 7.5/10
I Loved this movie growing up!
I flipin loved that movie when I was younger
Does the Baba Yaga remind anyone else of the woman who runs the orphanage Anya's from in Anastasia?
Is the person who voices sideshow bob voice the bear
They mention in the film that the ring belongs to the Romanov family, so it's theorized that Prince Ivan is Anastasia and Demitri's son. Where are they? No clue. But that's why Ivan is designed to appear similar to Demitri
Wow, the part where you sang "she kidnapped the Romanov!", is really clever! Spoilers to those who don't get it: Catherine O'Hara voiced Ludmilla in this, and she also voiced Lock in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" who sang "Kidnap the Sandy Claws". Edit: I meant to say 'Shock', not 'Lock'. My mistake.
I wonder if Doug knows that Oble is voiced by French Stewart?
Review titan ae already you pussy 😂😌
"Cabbage"
Review hansle Gretel and stand man
I think ludmilla's transformation scene is the reason why im married to an argonian in skyrim😕
Monsterhunter 66 Her name is shavee she is in windhelm by the docks you have to talk to her about a missing amulet once you retrieve it you'll be able to marry her
Michael Myers which argonian is it and where do I find her?
6:05
I always thought they should make this into the series like The Land Before Time or something
I have this movie on VHS. Who else does?
I mean, Don Bluth worked with Disney for a long ass time, a lot of the early animal animations you see are Bluths work in Disney so... does Don Bluth rip off Disney or does Disney rip off one of their best animators they’ve ever had when they decided to lay him off?
Who is the top and bottom female dragons on the left
The one on the top left is from Disney's "Enchanted"
Who is the top and bottom female dragons on the left
I remember when this came out and watching it often. It's a fun and creative movie, and entertained me as a kid.
I am the one who got turned on by the dragon song part.
Mr Critical being attracted to Furries an Scalies is a lot more normal than other things in today's day and age.
It just leaves me questioning my sexuality and what drugs Don was taking for him to think “give the dragon lady big bouncing breasts” probably the same drugs he took when deciding to make a chicken stripper in Rock-A-Doodle
kennyx221 you're not alone. I was too.
Raa-raa-Rasputin... weirdly enough I remember watching Anastasia multiple as a child... even when the death scene scared the hell out of me.
Oh well... more dragons and breast expansions for the folks I guess.
I think that the prince is the son of Dimitri and Anastasia, I mean seriously look at him
Mrs Teavee: Loompa Land? There's no such place!
NC: Piss off bitch.
XD XD XD
