I went into this movie with high hopes...I've always thought that the story of Anansatsia was intriguing and romantic. I saw who was doing the vocalizations and I was thrilled.
Too bad it didn't live up to the hype.
I guess my biggest disappointment was Rasputin. The real Rasputin was a strange enough character without making him an immortal evil antagonist.
Yes...I know it's a kids movie (although, it's too scary for little kids!)but I feel it could have been handled better.
Having said that, the rest of the movie is OK. There are two songs that really stick with you at the end, and the animation is great.
All in all, it's a bland treatment of what could have been a terrific story.
