Ten-year-old Dimitri saving eight-year-old Anastasia. One decade later, Dimitri's a handsome twenty-year-old con-man searching for an Anastasia doppelganger/look-alike in the hopes of handing her over to the Dowager Empress in return for ten million rubles.
Out of all the animated musicals from my childhood, Anastasia remains the most slept on. The 1997 musical follows an 18-year-old orphan with amnesia named Anya who discovers she's actually Russian royalty.
Marie realizes that Dimitri has fallen in love with Anastasia, as they coldly say goodbye to each other. During the party, Marie reveals to Anastasia that Dimitri did not accept the reward, and assures her that she will always love her, whatever she chooses.
Bluth had one more trick up his sleeve when it came to the happy couple. In every fairytale, it usually ends with the princess and the hero getting married and the now classic words: "And they lived happily ever after." While Anastasia has found her family, she wants to be with Dimitri, and the two decide to elope.
While learning to behave like royalty, some of Anya's memories begin to return, and she grows fond of Dimitri. Dimitri finally realizes Anya is truly Anastasia when she correctly answers how she escaped the palace, revealing to Vladimir that he was the servant who helped her.
Regardless of opinion, though, the facts are that Dimitri left Duscur with a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. After that, from thirteen to seventeen, Dimitri was pretty isolated.
Dimitri is based on a Prince who strongly believed that Anna Anderson, the woman who claimed to be Anastasia who had survived the execution, was in fact the real Anastasia.
Despite Dimitri's attempts to save her, he is soon injured and knocked unconscious. Anastasia manages to save herself and she and Dimitri reconcile. Though he reminds her of her obligation to high society, she chooses to elope with him instead, leaving a farewell letter to Marie and Sophie to return one day.
The 1956 film is based on the true story of Anna Anderson, who was pulled from the Landwehr Canal in Berlin in 1920 and later claimed to be Anastasia, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.
"Now my dark purpose will be fulfilled, and the last of the Romanovs will DIE!!" Grigori Rasputin is the main antagonist of Anastasia. He is Anastasia and Dimitri's arch-nemesis and Bartok's former master.
“Well, Rasputin is not in our version, nor is Bartok (and everyone loves him, including me.),” Lynn writes over email. “But we really didn't want to repeat the animated movie onstage — and those two 'cartoon' characters simply didn't fit this version.” As for this new character, Lynn reassures us that we'll like him…
Dimitri and Anya share a long kiss at the end. Moments later, Bartok gets kissed by a female bat. Sophie is a bit flirtatious. In one scene Anastasia wears a strapless evening gown.
In order to discover more about this past, she travels to Paris with two con men, Dimitri (John Cusack,) and Vladimir (Kelsey Grammer), who plan on passing her off as Anastasia to collect the reward money offered by the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna (Dame Angela Lansbury) for the return of her granddaughter.
John Cusack as Dimitri, a young conman, former servant of the Romanovs, and Anya/Anastasia's love interest. Jonathan Dokuchitz provides the singing voice for Dimitri.
Jonathan Dokuchitz is an American actor who works mainly on Broadway. He has starred in The Who's Tommy as Captain Walker, and also was the singing voice for John Cusack's Dimitri in Anastasia (1997 film).
Dimitri shares his age with Edelgard and Claude, being 17 when the game starts and 23 at the end, though his birthday is in the winter, on December 20.
This is because, unlike in other routes, Dimitri is able to keep Faerghus from being occupied by the Empire and thus is never captured by them (which results in him losing that eye at some point). He also lacks the bags under his eyes that are seen in the other routes.
Dimitri loses all of his close ones. He desperately wants to avenge them and goes crazy when fighting the people allegedly responsible for the tragedy.
While they were successful to this end, Dragovich and Kravchenko betrayed Dimitri by using him and the other two men as test subjects for the gas. Dimitri died a slow and painful death from the Nova-6 gas before Reznov's eyes on October 29, 1945, at the young age of 22.
No. Numerous women—most famously Anna Anderson—claimed to be Anastasia and thus heir to the Romanov fortune. Each said she had survived the execution and escaped. However, DNA tests on Anastasia's remains conducted after the collapse of the Soviet Union confirmed that she had died with the rest of her family.
Within the universe of the story, the ending means that the Empress is ending her search without revealing that she's found Anya, and Gleb is reporting back that Anya never was an Anastasia and that the Russian people need to let go. However, it's also a way of "fitting" the story in with the real world in a way.
