Move over Prince Eric there\u2019s a hunkier animated dream boat in town. \xa0 We watched Anastasia (1997) with our friend Donovan Marcotte and we would seriously consider giving up royalty for a shot at animated John Cusack.\xa0 Anastasia was the 1990\u2019s animated princess *not* brought to you by the house of mouse, but rather thorn in Disney\u2019s side Don Bluth and Gary Goldman - the team behind The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail and The Land Before Time. America\u2019s Sweetheart and \u201890s Icon Meg Ryan is charming as Anastasia and Cusack was making girls and little gay boys feel some type of way as hunky Dimitri.\xa0 The tragic real-life story of the Romanov Royal Family and the ooky-spooky Rasputin somehow fit in this children\u2019s tale of lost love, and reuniting with family (Don Bluth certainly has a thing for families getting separated). \xa0 Throw in amnesia, a talking bat sidekick and a touch of magic and no, we didn\u2019t forget the soundtrack (it's Everything).\xa0 Don\u2019t sleep on the pop version of Journey to the Past sung by none other than Aaliyah.\xa0 Iconic.\xa0
