Who are you hoping to see turn into a villain next?? Make sure to stream Anastasias villain song for clear skin - distrokid.com/hyperfollow/lydiathebard/anastasias-villain-song MASSIVE thank you to Ben and Shrub for joining me on this project! You guys are magic ❤ And to Alex who was our little announcer guy at the start of the video Edit : I am now aware I made a spelling mistake, it is ‘die’ not ‘dye’. In my DEFENSE I thought the phrase meant clothing dye like when you dye something it won’t come out. I now see I am an utter MUG. There’s a reason I decided to sing and didn’t become a professional writer ✌️✌️
I think villians role suit good to Tiana (specially green gloowin xD), she could use magic oppside the Faner brothers. Like her mad feelings count by story grow and she deal with shadow man & get the restorant or become Fasilie puppet.
the best part is where Grandmother finally realizes Anastasia is legit, but she's not herself anymore, just a broken pieces left after her own grandmother rejected her.
Just wanted to let you know that you accidentally wrote dos vedanya ( no offense) I loved the song and I like how you tried to pronounce it but I was very shocked because not a lot of people can say right 10/10 🎉😂❤
I love how at the start anastasia was composed,emotionless,and soft spoken but as she starts going deeper into the song and deeper into her trauma,her true emotions and feelings start to show and starts going further into anger and madness.
I agree with everything you said in your comment. The way Anastasia begins calm and composed in the beginning, then angry and hurt at the end, is very similar to Meg's villain song. Anastasia's attitude is basically like this: "My own country hurt me and abandoned me." So, you'll get what you deserve. I'll hurt you back and make you, my slaves." Since this villain song was posted last week, there are hundreds of comments that make very good observations as well. These are my own observations after hearing it for the first time.
I love that she isn’t super mad at her grandma or Dimitri, but she’s still unstable and they seem to be on thin ice. It’s even more creepy and unsettling.
I wouldn’t be surprise. Rasputin must’ve saw her making a deal with that demonic relic by the time he caught up to her. He probably had a little chat with her. At first it must’ve been bad a little but it went smooth when Anya made him an offer he can’t refuse. By being the Romanov’s confident (or whatever) again. Giving him a second chance in life and his reputation and removing the curse. Rasputin was interested in the offer but he told Anya, “Touching offer my dear, but you are aware that you’re going to be in the darkness of the relic regardless.” Anya didn’t care but Rasputin accepted the deal and the two went back to Russia ‘though Rasputin had to stay pick up a couple of certain surprising guests for the party’.
@@queenwishieluck1359 Oh no, check out the description. Her grandmother rejected her and Dimitri abandons her because of that. She sets a trap for Rasputin, and then steals the relic. The daemons within it signed a pact with her. They help her restore Romanov rule to Russia, and she will give them an empire.
3:26 THIS PART! It feels like she’s recalling her more innocent times, while simultaneously losing the last of that same innocence before completely embracing the darkness and madness!
This is exactly my thoughts! I never expected to see an Anastasia villain song but wowza this was a happy surprise! The absolute power in this song and animatic and the music is just so so so good!
Same here! I loved this one and I thought Anastasia wouldn’t get one (since she isn’t a major Disney character. And I am also glad to find another person who likes kotlc!)
My favorite part is at the star wherever lines like a love song yay and then when Anastasia pulls out the thing they're like oh my God oh my God this an emergency
Fun fact: In 1951, Marshal Georgy Zhukov (the conqueror of Berlin during WW2) got the chance to meet with Peter Ermakov, one of the guys who oversaw the execution of the Romanovs in 1918. Zhukov refused to shake Peter's hand upon learning who he was, saying something on the lines of "I do not shake the hands of murderers."
I love how the little girl at 2:00 looks so much like young Anastasia. Like representing how Anya is doing the same thing to these people as was done to her, she's punishing an innocent child for a crime she did not commit simply because of her proximity to the crime.
This is completely the best rewrite song ever for non-Disney princess Anastasia to becoming the empress of Russia with a vengeance on those who destroyed her family and abandoned her with no family and past so she won’t complete her right to the throne. She determined to prove them wrong but with her heart turned darker and never be the same again as the spirit agreed to help her as they sensed her pain and anger within. The beginning and ending had this Once Upon December before Journey to the Past, and I can’t help but think that the Dark of the Night would blend it perfectly into this song for Anastasia as she understood why her family had been killed by and what Rasputin said about bashing them with a curse.
And since she’s a historical figure, we can predict what may happen under her rule. But the movie dosent mention why the Romanovs fell, I think all the nobles in that show are in serious denial as to why the Russian people obliterated them.
In case anyone is curious about what she said at the end: “das vedanya” means “goodbye/until we meet again” in Russian. It’s generally romanized as “do svidaniya” though, so it took a bit of digging to find the translation.
I love how these turn the “I want” song from each princess to the “I am” song, further establishing their rile as the villain in the narrative. Or, if it is kept as an I want song, it gives off more “Hellfire” from Hunchback.
Man, this could make a good D&D campaign. Party starts in the city, helps a fleeing princess, helps her eventually reclaim the throne... And she's gone mad with grief and righteous fury, delving into necromancy and diabolic pursuits to seek revenge and a desperate way to reunite her with her family...
I don't know if it's just me but at the end of the song when she says "bring me home" it always makes me emotional because you can really tell how much she just wants her family back and a life she never got to live.
You know, this song is something more than just 'destroying sweet childhood memories' of this movie. I dunno how to phrase it.. it's like showing that it was a real tragedy, a crime the consequences of which do not disappear after putting an awkward 'We're sorry' banner next to a road and pretending to care about this loss on certain dates. Thanks for this
@annetteschemer6876 It's a crime that I'm fairly certain Russia still refuses to fully acknowledge and apologize for. Especially since people descened from the Romanovs (that aren't Nicholas II, Alix of Hesse, or OTMAA) are still alive and, as far as I remember, still barred from either ruling or stepping foot in Russia ever again.
@@SDP59, as I know, they're not barred from stepping foot in Russia. Moreover, they were even invited by some deputies. And even if they could rule, they still cannot agree who should be called their current head. Though I agree with your first statement
Yeah,the movie put the idea that is Rasputín fault and the rest of the people missed the Romanov and are regreting that they're gone,if they uses the original history probably it Will be a different ending.
Only reason why romanov family was m*rdéréd was that they can go back to power. They were a family that could have undermined the power of the then new "government".
This was absolutely amazing. You can see and hear her finally descend into the madness that loneliness brings. Her grandmother recognizing, too late, who she is was the final cherry on top.
What's crazy to me, is this could be the prologue to a strange romance fantasy story, of a heartbroken sorcerer empress, who plunged her empire into tyrannical rule, and the hero at first tries to kill her, but over time, they realize how she turned out this way, then tries to heal her broken heart
Her story, her real life story, is basically the Russian military killing off the monarch and the family. Mostly because Tsars were shit rulers and getting Conned by the mad monk Rasputin. Legend was that Anatasia escaped and survived, hence the animated movie about it. It was found later, after the movie came out, that yes, she did die with her family in the basement when they all got shot, execution style. Russia is filled with backstabbers
the animated version is a happier ending version of what actually happened. Long post The animated movie came out when there was still a question of if one of the Romanov daughters had escaped- but it was later confirmed the main family was all executed and what remains of the russian royal family are currently living in exhile and can not return to Russia In the 20th Century Animation Anastasia. She had Amnesia after hitting her head while trying to flee with her grandmother they were trying to get on a train but got separated by a crowd, she was raised in an orphanage believing her name was Anya- she gets kicked out when she is an adult and sets off to try and find out who she is- her only clue was a locket which said something like 'together in paris' Journey to the past was the song she sang as she set out on her new adventure- this song is a dark villain spin on that one She meets demitri- a con man who wants her grandmother's money- the Dutchess had a reward out for any information or the safe return of Anastasia. Demitri was hiring women to act like Anastasia- he had been a kitchen boy so had enough information to train women up but they were always caught out. Demitri convinces Anya he thinks it is her, at that point he didn't- but later realized she really was Anastasia when she had information no one else could possibly know other than him the Dutchess and the real anastasia- the secret of how they escaped. The duchess initially doesn't believe Anya is Anastasia until Anya's memories start coming back. but rather than be announced as alive and retake her princess title - Anya decides to run off and be in love with Demitri who had fallen in love with her. There is also a magical singing dead guy Rasputin who is trying to kill Anastasia because he cursed the romanov family and can't rest until they are all dead
It's sad because she's officially lost everything and has nothing left to lose. Taking vengeance for her family is all she has left now, and that requires the suffering and death of a lot of people. Amazing song as usual with a very depressing story. Keep it up!
@@charlottewalnut3118 And the common folk of Russia too. The entire reason why the bolsheviks got so many supporters was because they were being worked down to the bone to provide for WWI. Basically she's putting Russia back to square 1
@@charlottewalnut3118you mean people pushed to the brink by her family and the rest of nobility, which forced them into the arms of the wrong kind of people? She didn't go after the ringleaders, she went after everyone.
Omg Lydia... Was... was that last sequence the Dowager Empress realizing that this actually was her granddaughter?! The Fear and realization in her eyes was just... a punch in the gut but also... omg! Such a detail. I love it. I also love that the end pose is literally done in such a way where it is clear she isn't just out for revenge but the look in her glowing eyes is desperation for the family she has long yearned for. To the point of derangement.... and insanity/madness... Oh my heart!
“Everyone will tell you to let it go and move on, but don’t! Instead, let it fester and boil inside of you, take these feelings and lock them away. Let them fuel your actions, let hate be your ally, and you will be capable of wonderfully horrid things.” Don’t let it go.
Oh my god, the way she said "Goodbye/See you" in Russian (До свидания) at the end is just incredibly cool. A wonderful, huge job has been done. This story could be true. Author, all applause to you and your team! Thank you
I love the way the crown and necklace look whenever she passes a window or when the green light hits them, but my absolute favorite part is 2:34 when we see every version of her that's existed, ending with a crying child because that's all that's really left of her now - a girl that misses her family.
О, вау! Это было невероятно! Я правда думала, что будет кавер на Однажды в декабре, но то что вышло оказалсь не менее шикарным! А ваше "до свидания" просто покорило мое русское сердечко. Привет из Сибири! Oh, wow! It was incredible! I really thought there would be a cover for "Ones upon a becember", but what came out turned out to be no less gorgeous! And your "goodbye" just conquered my Russian heart. Greetings from Siberia! Only ideally it is written "Do svidanya", and not "Das vedanya"
This may just be me looking to far into it, but if you watch Anastasia at 1:23 you can see the windows through her. It may just be the artistic process, but I believe it’s representing Anastasia, losing her soul through the dark magic.
No I see it! I totally think you're right! It flickers for just a moment, but it very much reminds me of Rasputin's lantern when it would hit something
Великолепно! Голос, анимация - всё круто! Анастасия в роли злодейки и завораживает, и пугает одновременно. А ведь она и правда могла сломаться и не уничтожить жезл Распутина, а воспользоваться им. Самые опасные злодеи это те, кому уже нечего терять
Тут скорее альтернативный вариант. Дело в том, что жезл подчиняется исключительно Распутину в оригинале. Так что тут скорее вариант того, что случилась революция, и он выжив с Анастасией, помог последней обрести всемогущество как он это сделал в оригинальном произведение.
The way everything seemed normal at first but then she reveals the reliquary's spirits and everything goes down a dark path from that moment on. It's just amazing, plus the impressive vocals. Perfect video!
I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS INTENDED but that last half of the song, after the “home, love, and family” bit when Anya’s encountering Dimitri and her grandmother, sounds like a curse almost. Or like Anya’s little remixed version of “in the dark of the night” which is so captivating. And of course it makes sense for her to be singing it to Dimitri and her grandmother, two people who wronged her the most and broke her heart the most. THE WHOLE SONG sounds like a haunting curse honestly, or just a fat warning to the people for them to know what’s to come with Anya’s rule, but that last part is my absolute favorite. Either way tho, this has gotta be a new fave of mine from you. Especially the haunting Once Upon A December instrumental, the whole song sounds like one fat curse and I love it so much. ALSOOO shoutout to the animator bruh they really went all on out on this boy JESUS. BUT I SHOULDA KNOW BECAYSE MIRABELS WAS SO HAUNTING this one was just as dark. And I hope you do a tiana villain song and that this artist gets to do the animatic I’d love to see their take on it omg 😭👏🏽 LOVED TGIS LYDIA CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!
You know what I love most about your songs and the story they tell? It's how so much more fitting they are to the movie. I love Anastasia it's one of my favorite princess movies. But imagining if Anastasia wasn't believed in Dimitri really was just a scammer and this being her reaction is just so satisfying and so beautiful yet terrifying in its own way. And I love it
At first i was like "what? how does getting revenge for her family's murder make her a villain?" then i realized "oh wait, dang, she became an absolutist monarch" Edit: Damn, sorry guys, i swear i originally intended this to be a simple, lighthearted jab at monarchy. I'll stop interacting with this section, but before that, here's what i think: The more i research history and sociology, the more resentment i cultivate to all forms of government with accentuated centralized power. There should NEVER be social, political or economic divides that stark, in any society. I can't comprehend why anyone would defend such a thing. For a time, that resentment made me relatively biased towards SOME forms of Communism and Anarcho-syndicalism - which i still think are fascinating - but now, i really just think a Parliamentary Modern Welfare State, with a weaker prime-minister, seems reasonable enough to defend. Also, i think using technology so people participate in regional politics more frequently could be a GREAT thing. Please, lets move on from monarchy lmao, it is NOT an unreasonable request.
I mean, by comparison, in this same era of the interwar years, an Armenian man shot the monster who orchestrated his genocide, and a Jewish man shot the monster who killed 14 members of his family (and thousands other Jews) in pogroms. Both were aquitted of the murders. This is a moraly dubious but still cool way of avenging the horrible tragedies that occur. Better ways are to do things like learn Yiddish and join the Jewish labor bund. Becoming a tyrant and resuming the butchering of civilians by carrying on the family legacy is not a good way.
So Ana’s father is the reason my great grandfather had to flee Russia with only the shirt on his back. His crime? Being a Jew. Nicholas II was a vicious antisemtite who who ordered his forces to oppress Russian Jews.
To be fair, she was hardly overthrowing a democratically elected leader. She probably couldn't kill more citizens of Russia than Stalin even if she wanted to.
and you know, her dad's whole 'massive porgroms and slaughter of Jews' thing that partially was why he and the rest of her shithead family got owned@@patria3023
YES OMG ANASTASIA IS FINALLY GETTING REMEMBERED AGAIN IN SOMEKIND OF DISNEY PRINCESS SERIES! But why is no one talking about the 'once upon a December' musical bits in the song like that gave me the chills in the beginning and the end, this is just amazing ✨👏
LYRICS Presenter: Presenting, her imperial highness… the last surviving daugther of the romanov line and your empress, anastasia. Anastasia: Rusia hear me now, your new queen is speaking A new age is finally here. Yes the rumours true, The legend and the mystery Bow down now or live in - FEAR Yes! Starting now you finish last The time is up, the dye is cast So run and hide and do it fast, You stole my family… … And my past. . There’s a debt that’s owed, justice to deliver You’ll be forced to right this wrong, Thought that i was dead, Thought the past was over, THIS GHOST’S BEEN HERE ALL ALONG Yes, starting now you finish last. The time is up, the dye is cast, So run and hide and do it fast, You stole my family… And my past. Home, love, family, Thought i’d found them but then how was i to know? Home, love, family, It’s a lie they just abandon you and go. Home, love, family, I will never be complete, I will never be complete, I will never be complete, Until i find… I find - YOU. Now you understand, I’ll take russia hostage, Cursed to suffer - THIS I VOW. But you’re the special few Blessed to join my table YOU’RE MY BRAND NEW FAMILY NOW Yes, let this be a sign Justice will be mine I’ll have vengeance for my past And bring me home… At… AT LAST. Das Vedanya…
In this ending, I like to imagine Anya uses the reliquary to wipe everyone's memory (giving them a taste of what it's like to have amnesia). Anya makes the entirety of Russia forget about Rasputin's curse, and forget that she went missing, so no one has reason to question her authority. Not Dimitri, not even Grandma.
No. If no one remembers she is missing it only means they know that the entire royal family was executed. THIS is supposed to be 20 years after monarchy, circa 1935-7. The monarchy is long gone.
@@Ibert0318 not possible. I mean, it's 1935. The real physical Russia of the era would change - and a lot. I mean, they bulit a completely new and different government, legal and economic system, have found like a hundred universities and factories alongside several cities, rebuilt the entire city of Moscow moving the existing historical buildings and adding new brutalist and Stalin's style ones, bulit several underground stations, creating new social institutions and a lot, and started building several new big cities from scratch. Oh, and changed through several constitutions and governance regimes, at least three soviet ones plus the temporary government.
I absolutely love how when the song starts the only voice we can hear singing is Anastasia’s But as the song goes on, very slowly a second voice starts to sing along with Anastasia It’s not very noticeable at first, with the second voice being soft and echoey. but as the song starts to reach the end, the soft voice echoing in the background begins to get louder and louder. It’s as if the dark powers and demons sealed within the reliquary are starting to take hold of Anastasia’s mind, the more that she is driven to madness by her loneliness and deep longing for a family. Allowing the demons and the dark powers within the reliquary to further influence Anastasia’s actions the more she uses it and calls the demons to her beck and call. I just found this to be a very interesting and very well executed part of Anya’s Villain song that I noticed when I was wearing headphones at full volume.
WOW that was amazing! The idea of Anya becoming a villain to avenge her family is something that never occurred to me. But your take on this was fantastic!!!!
Lydia you did it once again, your voice, the story, Anastasia!! She is my favorite duchess ever, and her story is gut wrenching but beautiful in the movie..in real life it's horrific but this video is amazing!! I love it!! Can't wait for more of this series!!
Very haunting song right from the get-go, with just the sense of something being wrong in the notes as everyone welcomes their princess, before she unveils the magic to curse them all for what they did to her family. Guilty, innocent, it doesn't matter to Anastasia. Only vengeance against all that wronged her, left her, will fulfill her, even as she empties herself. Some of the shots are just stunning, such as when she steps onto the table and we see her slipper, looking like green glass, giving off a feel of a twisted Cinderella vibe, or near the end when we see her rewind from how she is now to her more innocent self. Little touches like that really add to the power and tragedy behind her. It also goes to show the importance of having supportive people in your life. Friends, family, love ones, they all help to build a sense of belonging, a way to ground you or lift you up even when the worse hits. But when one is or feels betrayed and abandoned enough, this is what remains. She was left alone and went where the lonely go: the top. And now all shall bow and quiver before her.
The song is amazing but can we just take a moment to appreciate how an alternate timeline russia run by a manical princess with legions of demons would be like?
Russia would legit be in a better position than it was in during the revolution and today. The kids shouldn’t have died, they shouldn’t have been touched, Nicholas and his Wife? There’s a more compelling argument for them
Probably better than Soviet Union, but in a Russia with an empire powered by a demon army, Orthodox Cristians would be a true challenge and a constant threat
Sadly probably not much worse than it ended up in real life. Germany would probably be like "yeah don't want any of that, you can keep everything east of Poland. "
Don’t worry, I got you covered: I’m working on a fanfic of this song + animatric and, while the first part is just going to expand on what happened prior to this song, the next two part will detail what happens immediately afterward.
This song made me feel deja vu connected with Mirabel's and Meg's villain songs 😄 It's not some kind of remark about repeating yourself, it's just funny how animation (especially scared people) and the way this song sounded at some moments made me remember about Mirabel's song and Anastasia's words about "your new queen", bowing down and fear about Meg's (plus the vocalization at 1:16, especially at 1:20).
I can’t believe Anastasia’s grandmother wouldn’t believe her, even with the music box and the necklace. I mean, it was their secret; no one else knew about it. Even dimitri thought it was a jewelry box, not a music box
ЭТО ПРОСТО ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО, Я ОБОЖАЮ ВСЕ ЗЛОДЕЙКИ ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИИ ОТ ВАС, ЭТА СТАЛА ОДНОЙ ИЗ ЛЮБИМЫХ, СПАСИБО ЗА ВАШУ РАБОТУ✨✨✨ P. S. - "до свидания" в конце заставило меня рыдать, это потрясающе
It's hard to pick favorites among all these masterpieces, but this is beyond great. Especially 2:34--2:52 wrecked me and gave me so many chills. Thank you.
The vocals and twisted spins you do in your villainess songs are outstanding! And the lore behind their road to darkness... I have no words! My goodness I am hooked with everything you write and sing! Keep on the villainess trail! I am amazed and well invested on all that you create!
When you realize, how much scarier Disney princesses as villains than their acc villains and the fact they all had a choice to become evil but chose not to...
1:46 props to the dude who tried "IF I CANT SEE THEM THEY CANT SEE ME!!" btw the song was fabulous, in my opinion this rivals Mulans villain song. (Which is my personal favorite). Edit:I love how at the start the colors are warm and inviting shades of yellow. But the second the tone changes so do the colors to their shade of green they are the rest of the song. (Except for when Anastasia starts reminiscing about the past)
When I say this, I am completely serious. I can not get over how amazing this series is. It has got to be my favorite series on TH-cam right now. I get so excited when I see another Disney princess villain song has been uploaded.
I love the final shot of the upper half of her face shadowed. Like the dark magic is physically curopting her similarly to Necromancey making you undead.
Honestly, after everything Anastasia suffered, she deserved the right to become a villain. If she had survived in real life too, she still deserved the right to become a villain.
Then you agree that the starving people in Russia also was completely justified in their actions? Killing every member of nobility and all that? The monarch was fucking incompetent, ignored the famine, all while throwing lavish parties while their people died in the streets. Honestly, it was only a matter of time before someone weaponized their desperation. If anyone 'deserved' to go berserk, it'll be them. This ending is tragic because Anastasia is probably going to be making the same mistakes as the last monarch, if not worse. It'll end worse for everyone.
@@goose7215 it's not the "starving" people that killed the monarchy. Stop with your delusions and read some actual history. The majority of people supported monarchy and respected the traditions, and the long and bloody civil war that emerged only proves it even further.
@@AngelineTon настолько не скучал и не жалел, что сотни тысяч простых крестьян сражались до смерти с большевиками, и еще Сталину приходилось во Второй Мировой возвращать символы монархических времен, чтобы люди что-то делали. Повод задуматься над твоем необразованностью.
To be honest Anya is a character I think would work amazingly as a villain. Especially if she was crowned Empress... Dangit now I want an entire book on this! 😂 Amazing work! ❤😊
Agh, I love it! That fact that it's a twisted childhood lullaby makes it all the better! Now that you've done Anastasia, maybe Kayley from Quest for Camelot? War killing her father and then being spurned as a woman wanting to be a knight could quickly turn one jaded.
So this movie was my childhood and meant a lot to me. So for you to take that in to something evil......I honestly like it. It was well written and honestly Anastasia's actions are completely justifiable. Rasputin probably is jealous though that the spirits are now working for Anastasia though
I'm russian and my name's Anastasia, and "Anastasia" was my favourite princess movie when I was a kid. I've always loved the original song, so this version stole my heart forever. P.s. The "do svidaniya" at the end is the most perfect detail to this song, love it
Loved this songs so much! the music is great and the artwork with the green and brownish yellow is also amazing!!! this whole song just gives off the vibe of an old folk song about an event long past except we are seeing it happen before our eyes. The best part of this whole things was when Grandmother finally realizes Anastasia is legit, but she's not herself anymore and by that point it is far too late. Great job Lydia!
This was absolutely brilliant! Grand Duchess Anastasia as the villainous princess is this video was spooky, tragic, cool and amazing all at the same time!
@@sashaflorence2477technically yes, but she was created way before Disney bought Fox, there were people who thought that Anastasia was created by Disney but it was created by Don Bluth
Omg!!! That was so amazing! I love how you recognize that so many good guys in films like Anastasia and moana could easily become villains with a single more pressure put on them. Have a good day!
I just stumbled across these princess villain songs, and I have to say I love their energy. And this one especially speaks to me both as an Anastasia film fan and as a student of modern history. This is absolutely an alternate history I want to see! Wielding Rasputin's powers of the underworld, the mad sorceress Anastasia returns to St. Petersburg to crush the Bolsheviks and retake her country and her throne, restoring the absolute monarchy through a reign of terror, transforming Russia into a land of fear and darkness. It has strong Call of Cthulhu RPG vibes to it, completely recontextualizing the world's state in the late 1920's, the ethereal fears of rising communism replaced by the very real fears of ghosts and demons. Screw Kaiserreich, I want this scenario!
Anastacia is my favorite character. See her as villainess is just suitable. I'd love to see Raya as villain, she doesn't have a song on her own. But I'd love to see her hate taking control over her forgiviness. Even if everyone comes back, what if they still wanting the stone and all dragons? It's amazing to hear your songs!! Thank you so much!!!
I love the crazy look in Anya's eyes at 2:49, 3:12, and especially 3:21 and 3:30. It shows that she truly believes with all her heart that this is the only way.
This was so good! I love that we aren't told how she got the reliquary, it makes you think how much of her own anger and sense of injustice was hers and how much of it was warped by either the dark magic, or Rasputin himself. Also, did he give it to her? Or... did she take it? This is so good, love it ❤
A beautiful, haunting return for the queen of music, Lydia herself! I hope we get to see a villain song for Esmeralda based on Hellfire (I know it's already a villain song but it's SO GOOD), or maybe an "Evil Pocahontas" rendition of "Savages"!
Это настолько прекрасный вокал, что я не могу подобрать нужных слов... Анимация, сюжет и сам голос действительно дополняют друг друга, делают картину более полной. А это "До свидания" в конце... Я так удивилась, что пришлось переслушать, хаха. Один из моих любимых каверов от вас на сегодняшний день❤
Considering Dimitri was willing to let her go through with the scam even after he fell in love with her but before he knew who she was, I don't blame her if she went wild after that.
The whole movie has an excellent soundtrack and this song is at that level, I am simply speechless before such a magnificent video; my respects and applause for such an incredible video

Proof that villains aren't born they made from the foolish actions of others.
I have never seen or heard anything about this song, and I think I actually get it
I agree with everything you said in your comment. The way Anastasia begins calm and composed in the beginning, then angry and hurt at the end, is very similar to Meg's villain song. Anastasia's attitude is basically like this: "My own country hurt me and abandoned me." So, you'll get what you deserve. I'll hurt you back and make you, my slaves." Since this villain song was posted last week, there are hundreds of comments that make very good observations as well. These are my own observations after hearing it for the first time.
@@evantcoyle5865 very well said 👌🏾
I love that she isn’t super mad at her grandma or Dimitri, but she’s still unstable and they seem to be on thin ice. It’s even more creepy and unsettling.
Or she’s particularly angry at them and wants to make them suffer
I wouldn’t be surprise. Rasputin must’ve saw her making a deal with that demonic relic by the time he caught up to her. He probably had a little chat with her. At first it must’ve been bad a little but it went smooth when Anya made him an offer he can’t refuse. By being the Romanov’s confident (or whatever) again. Giving him a second chance in life and his reputation and removing the curse. Rasputin was interested in the offer but he told Anya, “Touching offer my dear, but you are aware that you’re going to be in the darkness of the relic regardless.” Anya didn’t care but Rasputin accepted the deal and the two went back to Russia ‘though Rasputin had to stay pick up a couple of certain surprising guests for the party’.
He’s probably searching for the leader of the Bolshevik party.
@@queenwishieluck1359 Oh no, check out the description. Her grandmother rejected her and Dimitri abandons her because of that. She sets a trap for Rasputin, and then steals the relic. The daemons within it signed a pact with her. They help her restore Romanov rule to Russia, and she will give them an empire.
@@sonofjack6286just a guess I red the story.
The way the guy introducing her said, "Empress", with so much affection though
He’s playing his cards would you want to risk making this Anastasia angry
At first, I assumed he was the love interest from the movie because he kind of sounded like he was in love with her.
@@Sky_8DHe ain’t no dummy.
3:26
THIS PART! It feels like she’s recalling her more innocent times, while simultaneously losing the last of that same innocence before completely embracing the darkness and madness!
It gives the chills
Similar at 2:35, and seeing young Anastasia cry is heartbreaking
The strong vocals, the storytelling, the new lyrics, the animatic, this is so good! I never thought I would see this one actually happen!
This is exactly my thoughts! I never expected to see an Anastasia villain song but wowza this was a happy surprise! The absolute power in this song and animatic and the music is just so so so good!
Same here! I loved this one and I thought Anastasia wouldn’t get one (since she isn’t a major Disney character. And I am also glad to find another person who likes kotlc!)
@ellystark4460 I keep seeing KotLC fans no matter where I am
My favorite part is at the star wherever lines like a love song yay and then when Anastasia pulls out the thing they're like oh my God oh my God this an emergency
“You got what you wanted, but lost what you had.”
That actually hit mad hard.
where wa this line ??
Wasn't that line in the Friends On The Other Side rewrite?
@@jessicadegen8433 I think it's from the original Friends On the Other Side song, too.
Fun fact: In 1951, Marshal Georgy Zhukov (the conqueror of Berlin during WW2) got the chance to meet with Peter Ermakov, one of the guys who oversaw the execution of the Romanovs in 1918. Zhukov refused to shake Peter's hand upon learning who he was, saying something on the lines of "I do not shake the hands of murderers."
and they did murder them. along with the windsors
Zhukov was a walking W honestly
The only man Stalin feared but couldn’t kill
they had it coming tbh
The only communist I respect!
I love how the little girl at 2:00 looks so much like young Anastasia. Like representing how Anya is doing the same thing to these people as was done to her, she's punishing an innocent child for a crime she did not commit simply because of her proximity to the crime.
Можно внести небольшую правку Аня это Анна, а Анастасия это Настя

Good thing Google translate has improved!
I like your suggested edit!
Man, it was scarier to have her kidnap and imprison Dmitri and her grandmother rather than kill them. Great idea!!
She probably had a little help with that.
Ik!
This is completely the best rewrite song ever for non-Disney princess Anastasia to becoming the empress of Russia with a vengeance on those who destroyed her family and abandoned her with no family and past so she won’t complete her right to the throne.
She determined to prove them wrong but with her heart turned darker and never be the same again as the spirit agreed to help her as they sensed her pain and anger within.
The beginning and ending had this Once Upon December before Journey to the Past, and I can’t help but think that the Dark of the Night would blend it perfectly into this song for Anastasia as she understood why her family had been killed by and what Rasputin said about bashing them with a curse.
She's technically a Disney Princess since the Fox purchase
True
And since she’s a historical figure, we can predict what may happen under her rule. But the movie dosent mention why the Romanovs fell, I think all the nobles in that show are in serious denial as to why the Russian people obliterated them.
I don't consider her Disney even though they own the company now. @@shadowmarine156
@@patria3023you want to be the one that tells her lol
In case anyone is curious about what she said at the end: “das vedanya” means “goodbye/until we meet again” in Russian. It’s generally romanized as “do svidaniya” though, so it took a bit of digging to find the translation.
Рад, что кто-то кроме носителей языка эту ошибку заметили, так как в финале реально допущена транскрибационная ошибка😅😅
Google translate does that too.
@@UmbrellaTechIncНу и что..
@@UmbrellaTechInc это и для мерч стало приятным сюрпризом)
I love how these turn the “I want” song from each princess to the “I am” song, further establishing their rile as the villain in the narrative. Or, if it is kept as an I want song, it gives off more “Hellfire” from Hunchback.
Man, this could make a good D&D campaign. Party starts in the city, helps a fleeing princess, helps her eventually reclaim the throne...
And she's gone mad with grief and righteous fury, delving into necromancy and diabolic pursuits to seek revenge and a desperate way to reunite her with her family...
Go on......GM brain's are only so big and we need SUSTENANCE to fuel the engines of torment that construct the utter pain of our poor adventurers
Basically my OC but he's a prince instead
I’d play that campaign
How about a boss battle against her with a Gundam mech? Crossover stories will go fire.
@@GAMEMASTERTHX I've already included Kobolds in Magi-Tech Mech Suits in one of my games because it went so far off the rails I said fuck it.
I don't know if it's just me but at the end of the song when she says "bring me home" it always makes me emotional because you can really tell how much she just wants her family back and a life she never got to live.
You know, this song is something more than just 'destroying sweet childhood memories' of this movie. I dunno how to phrase it.. it's like showing that it was a real tragedy, a crime the consequences of which do not disappear after putting an awkward 'We're sorry' banner next to a road and pretending to care about this loss on certain dates. Thanks for this
An alternate universe?
I wouldn't blame Anastasia for doing that even if that meant Rasputin got a final victory.
@@luiz4200 i would. Her parents were the ones who created their family's own demise.
@annetteschemer6876 It's a crime that I'm fairly certain Russia still refuses to fully acknowledge and apologize for. Especially since people descened from the Romanovs (that aren't Nicholas II, Alix of Hesse, or OTMAA) are still alive and, as far as I remember, still barred from either ruling or stepping foot in Russia ever again.
@@SDP59, as I know, they're not barred from stepping foot in Russia. Moreover, they were even invited by some deputies.
And even if they could rule, they still cannot agree who should be called their current head.
Though I agree with your first statement
Somehow this ending makes sense to me. That Anastasia never showed anger towards the people who practically killed her family surprises me.
In the movie she literally helps kill rasputin what. She literally says something along the lines "this is for my family"
Yeah,the movie put the idea that is Rasputín fault and the rest of the people missed the Romanov and are regreting that they're gone,if they uses the original history probably it Will be a different ending.
@@aindiaz31kon0v400I mean the Russians do miss them now
@@charlottewalnut3118 In reality You mean or the movie?,I am little outdated of russian news.
Only reason why romanov family was m*rdéréd was that they can go back to power. They were a family that could have undermined the power of the then new "government".
This was absolutely amazing. You can see and hear her finally descend into the madness that loneliness brings. Her grandmother recognizing, too late, who she is was the final cherry on top.
I headcancon that she used the relics power to make the dog she had the one who announced her at the beginning.
This is now my headcanon also
Same with me.
I don't know if that'd be possible but its now cannon to me that it is until proven otherwise. I love this.
What's crazy to me, is this could be the prologue to a strange romance fantasy story, of a heartbroken sorcerer empress, who plunged her empire into tyrannical rule, and the hero at first tries to kill her, but over time, they realize how she turned out this way, then tries to heal her broken heart
That is exactly what I'm doing with the book I'm writing :D Grettle turned evil queen because the king trapped her brother in the mirror.
@@tiffy3865 let me know its name, I’ll be sure to buy
I don’t know the story of Anastasia very well, but your voice makes her story so sad, I feel so bad for her I just wanna give her a hug 🥺
Her story, her real life story, is basically the Russian military killing off the monarch and the family. Mostly because Tsars were shit rulers and getting Conned by the mad monk Rasputin.
Legend was that Anatasia escaped and survived, hence the animated movie about it. It was found later, after the movie came out, that yes, she did die with her family in the basement when they all got shot, execution style.
Russia is filled with backstabbers
the animated version is a happier ending version of what actually happened. Long post
The animated movie came out when there was still a question of if one of the Romanov daughters had escaped- but it was later confirmed the main family was all executed and what remains of the russian royal family are currently living in exhile and can not return to Russia
In the 20th Century Animation Anastasia. She had Amnesia after hitting her head while trying to flee with her grandmother they were trying to get on a train but got separated by a crowd, she was raised in an orphanage believing her name was Anya- she gets kicked out when she is an adult and sets off to try and find out who she is- her only clue was a locket which said something like 'together in paris'
Journey to the past was the song she sang as she set out on her new adventure- this song is a dark villain spin on that one
She meets demitri- a con man who wants her grandmother's money- the Dutchess had a reward out for any information or the safe return of Anastasia. Demitri was hiring women to act like Anastasia- he had been a kitchen boy so had enough information to train women up but they were always caught out.
Demitri convinces Anya he thinks it is her, at that point he didn't- but later realized she really was Anastasia when she had information no one else could possibly know other than him the Dutchess and the real anastasia- the secret of how they escaped.
The duchess initially doesn't believe Anya is Anastasia until Anya's memories start coming back. but rather than be announced as alive and retake her princess title - Anya decides to run off and be in love with Demitri who had fallen in love with her.
There is also a magical singing dead guy Rasputin who is trying to kill Anastasia because he cursed the romanov family and can't rest until they are all dead
@@Needler13 It was a lovely familiar "shot" photo!
But why did they have to kill the whole royal family?
@@Needler13строго говоря не предателей, а зажравшимися холопами и холуями
It's sad because she's officially lost everything and has nothing left to lose. Taking vengeance for her family is all she has left now, and that requires the suffering and death of a lot of people. Amazing song as usual with a very depressing story. Keep it up!
That’s not exactly true her vengeance doesn’t require harming any people only communists
@@charlottewalnut3118 And the common folk of Russia too. The entire reason why the bolsheviks got so many supporters was because they were being worked down to the bone to provide for WWI. Basically she's putting Russia back to square 1
@@charlottewalnut3118you mean people pushed to the brink by her family and the rest of nobility, which forced them into the arms of the wrong kind of people? She didn't go after the ringleaders, she went after everyone.
@@charlottewalnut3118it weren't even the communists who pushed Nicolas II off the throne. It were their generals and ministers.
3:04 I just realized that Dimitri and Anastasia‘s grandma are tied up in their chairs. That explains why they didn’t try to run away.
Omg Lydia... Was... was that last sequence the Dowager Empress realizing that this actually was her granddaughter?! The Fear and realization in her eyes was just... a punch in the gut but also... omg! Such a detail. I love it. I also love that the end pose is literally done in such a way where it is clear she isn't just out for revenge but the look in her glowing eyes is desperation for the family she has long yearned for. To the point of derangement.... and insanity/madness... Oh my heart!
3:14 🥹🤩
“Everyone will tell you to let it go and move on, but don’t! Instead, let it fester and boil inside of you, take these feelings and lock them away. Let them fuel your actions, let hate be your ally, and you will be capable of wonderfully horrid things.”
Don’t let it go.

Truly the wisest words from a Disney villain whose ambitions burn as hot as fire. Mwahahahahahaha!!!
😈😈🦹🏻♂🦹🏻♂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, Goob 😋
"You stole my family and my past" is such a good lyric like omg
Oh my god, the way she said "Goodbye/See you" in Russian (До свидания) at the end is just incredibly cool. A wonderful, huge job has been done. This story could be true.
Author, all applause to you and your team! Thank you
See you means "увидимя/до встречи"
0:31
"Russia hear me now" It's cool.
It is interesting to see a villain song were the princess doesn`t let their lover and family leave but forces them to stay with her
Out of all of the princess villian songs, I think Anastasia has the most of my pity and sympathy.
I love the way the crown and necklace look whenever she passes a window or when the green light hits them, but my absolute favorite part is 2:34 when we see every version of her that's existed, ending with a crying child because that's all that's really left of her now - a girl that misses her family.
Не просто скучающий ребенок, но жаждущий отмщения всем этим холопам
Idk why but I love the detail of her hair slowly becoming more disheveled throughout the animatic. Such a nice touch.
О, вау! Это было невероятно! Я правда думала, что будет кавер на Однажды в декабре, но то что вышло оказалсь не менее шикарным! А ваше "до свидания" просто покорило мое русское сердечко.
Привет из Сибири!
Oh, wow! It was incredible! I really thought there would be a cover for "Ones upon a becember", but what came out turned out to be no less gorgeous! And your "goodbye" just conquered my Russian heart.
Greetings from Siberia!
Only ideally it is written "Do svidanya", and not "Das vedanya"
This may just be me looking to far into it, but if you watch Anastasia at 1:23 you can see the windows through her. It may just be the artistic process, but I believe it’s representing Anastasia, losing her soul through the dark magic.
No I see it! I totally think you're right! It flickers for just a moment, but it very much reminds me of Rasputin's lantern when it would hit something
Великолепно! Голос, анимация - всё круто! Анастасия в роли злодейки и завораживает, и пугает одновременно. А ведь она и правда могла сломаться и не уничтожить жезл Распутина, а воспользоваться им. Самые опасные злодеи это те, кому уже нечего терять
Yeah I agree
Тут скорее альтернативный вариант. Дело в том, что жезл подчиняется исключительно Распутину в оригинале. Так что тут скорее вариант того, что случилась революция, и он выжив с Анастасией, помог последней обрести всемогущество как он это сделал в оригинальном произведение.
Read the description it has the companion story for the video (as always)
@@UmbrellaTechInc Не спорю
Да! О, а это " до свидания" просто шик
The way everything seemed normal at first but then she reveals the reliquary's spirits and everything goes down a dark path from that moment on. It's just amazing, plus the impressive vocals. Perfect video!
I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS INTENDED but that last half of the song, after the “home, love, and family” bit when Anya’s encountering Dimitri and her grandmother, sounds like a curse almost. Or like Anya’s little remixed version of “in the dark of the night” which is so captivating. And of course it makes sense for her to be singing it to Dimitri and her grandmother, two people who wronged her the most and broke her heart the most. THE WHOLE SONG sounds like a haunting curse honestly, or just a fat warning to the people for them to know what’s to come with Anya’s rule, but that last part is my absolute favorite. Either way tho, this has gotta be a new fave of mine from you. Especially the haunting Once Upon A December instrumental, the whole song sounds like one fat curse and I love it so much.
ALSOOO shoutout to the animator bruh they really went all on out on this boy JESUS. BUT I SHOULDA KNOW BECAYSE MIRABELS WAS SO HAUNTING this one was just as dark. And I hope you do a tiana villain song and that this artist gets to do the animatic I’d love to see their take on it omg 😭👏🏽 LOVED TGIS LYDIA CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!
I'm so glad you made an Anastasia Villain Song for her, despite not being an actual Disney princess.
You know what I love most about your songs and the story they tell? It's how so much more fitting they are to the movie. I love Anastasia it's one of my favorite princess movies. But imagining if Anastasia wasn't believed in Dimitri really was just a scammer and this being her reaction is just so satisfying and so beautiful yet terrifying in its own way. And I love it
At first i was like "what? how does getting revenge for her family's murder make her a villain?" then i realized "oh wait, dang, she became an absolutist monarch"
Edit: Damn, sorry guys, i swear i originally intended this to be a simple, lighthearted jab at monarchy. I'll stop interacting with this section, but before that, here's what i think:
The more i research history and sociology, the more resentment i cultivate to all forms of government with accentuated centralized power. There should NEVER be social, political or economic divides that stark, in any society. I can't comprehend why anyone would defend such a thing. For a time, that resentment made me relatively biased towards SOME forms of Communism and Anarcho-syndicalism - which i still think are fascinating - but now, i really just think a Parliamentary Modern Welfare State, with a weaker prime-minister, seems reasonable enough to defend. Also, i think using technology so people participate in regional politics more frequently could be a GREAT thing. Please, lets move on from monarchy lmao, it is NOT an unreasonable request.
I mean, by comparison, in this same era of the interwar years, an Armenian man shot the monster who orchestrated his genocide, and a Jewish man shot the monster who killed 14 members of his family (and thousands other Jews) in pogroms. Both were aquitted of the murders. This is a moraly dubious but still cool way of avenging the horrible tragedies that occur. Better ways are to do things like learn Yiddish and join the Jewish labor bund. Becoming a tyrant and resuming the butchering of civilians by carrying on the family legacy is not a good way.
So Ana’s father is the reason my great grandfather had to flee Russia with only the shirt on his back. His crime? Being a Jew. Nicholas II was a vicious antisemtite who who ordered his forces to oppress Russian Jews.
Which is why her family was killed in the first place. I feel bad for the kids, but I have no sympathy for Nicholas and Alexandra.
To be fair, she was hardly overthrowing a democratically elected leader. She probably couldn't kill more citizens of Russia than Stalin even if she wanted to.
and you know, her dad's whole 'massive porgroms and slaughter of Jews' thing that partially was why he and the rest of her shithead family got owned@@patria3023
YES OMG ANASTASIA IS FINALLY GETTING REMEMBERED AGAIN IN SOMEKIND OF DISNEY PRINCESS SERIES!
But why is no one talking about the 'once upon a December' musical bits in the song like that gave me the chills in the beginning and the end, this is just amazing ✨👏
Its perfect because she's already singing with the ghosts in the movie
At first she was "like a Disney princess, but not really one", but since Disney bought Fox SHE BECAME A DISNEY PRINCESS.
LYRICS
Presenter: Presenting, her imperial highness… the last surviving daugther of the romanov line and your empress, anastasia.
Anastasia:
Rusia hear me now, your new queen is speaking
A new age is finally here.
Yes the rumours true,
The legend and the mystery
Bow down now or live in - FEAR
Yes! Starting now you finish last
The time is up, the dye is cast
So run and hide and do it fast,
You stole my family…
… And my past.

There’s a debt that’s owed, justice to deliver
You’ll be forced to right this wrong,
Thought that i was dead,
Thought the past was over,
THIS GHOST’S BEEN HERE ALL ALONG
Yes, starting now you finish last.
The time is up, the dye is cast,
So run and hide and do it fast,
You stole my family… And my past.
Home, love, family,
Thought i’d found them but then how was i to know?
Home, love, family,
It’s a lie they just abandon you and go.
Home, love, family,
I will never be complete,
I will never be complete,
I will never be complete,
Until i find…
I find -
YOU.
Now you understand,
I’ll take russia hostage,
Cursed to suffer -
THIS I VOW.
But you’re the special few
Blessed to join my table
YOU’RE MY BRAND NEW FAMILY NOW
Yes, let this be a sign
Justice will be mine
I’ll have vengeance for my past
And bring me home…
At…
AT LAST.
Das Vedanya…

The author made a mistake in spelling. At the end there should be it is written "Do svidanya", and not "Das vedanya"
In this ending, I like to imagine Anya uses the reliquary to wipe everyone's memory (giving them a taste of what it's like to have amnesia). Anya makes the entirety of Russia forget about Rasputin's curse, and forget that she went missing, so no one has reason to question her authority. Not Dimitri, not even Grandma.
That's a good theory.
Wait but what if Dimitri and Grandma still keep their memories but are forced to keep them secret or else? That could break their spirit more.
No.
If no one remembers she is missing it only means they know that the entire royal family was executed.
THIS is supposed to be 20 years after monarchy, circa 1935-7. The monarchy is long gone.
@@annasolovyeva1013 I think commenter meant that Anastasia will warp the memories of the Russians to make it seem like all of this is normal.
@@Ibert0318 not possible. I mean, it's 1935.
The real physical Russia of the era would change - and a lot. I mean, they bulit a completely new and different government, legal and economic system, have found like a hundred universities and factories alongside several cities, rebuilt the entire city of Moscow moving the existing historical buildings and adding new brutalist and Stalin's style ones, bulit several underground stations, creating new social institutions and a lot, and started building several new big cities from scratch. Oh, and changed through several constitutions and governance regimes, at least three soviet ones plus the temporary government.
I absolutely love how when the song starts the only voice we can hear singing is Anastasia’s
But as the song goes on, very slowly a second voice starts to sing along with Anastasia
It’s not very noticeable at first, with the second voice being soft and echoey.
but as the song starts to reach the end, the soft voice echoing in the background begins to get louder and louder.
It’s as if the dark powers and demons sealed within the reliquary are starting to take hold of Anastasia’s mind, the more that she is driven to madness by her loneliness and deep longing for a family.
Allowing the demons and the dark powers within the reliquary to further influence Anastasia’s actions the more she uses it and calls the demons to her beck and call.
I just found this to be a very interesting and very well executed part of Anya’s Villain song that I noticed when I was wearing headphones at full volume.
WOW that was amazing! The idea of Anya becoming a villain to avenge her family is something that never occurred to me. But your take on this was fantastic!!!!
Lydia you did it once again, your voice, the story, Anastasia!! She is my favorite duchess ever, and her story is gut wrenching but beautiful in the movie..in real life it's horrific but this video is amazing!! I love it!! Can't wait for more of this series!!
1:51 this is the saddest art, the mom protecting her daughter at all cost❤
Боже мой, какая красота, как интересно нарисовано и преподнесено, а в конце ее До свиданья, боже никогда не думала что влюблюсь в голос человека!!!!!!
OKAY BUT THIS SLAYED THO?? 😧
Very haunting song right from the get-go, with just the sense of something being wrong in the notes as everyone welcomes their princess, before she unveils the magic to curse them all for what they did to her family. Guilty, innocent, it doesn't matter to Anastasia. Only vengeance against all that wronged her, left her, will fulfill her, even as she empties herself.
Some of the shots are just stunning, such as when she steps onto the table and we see her slipper, looking like green glass, giving off a feel of a twisted Cinderella vibe, or near the end when we see her rewind from how she is now to her more innocent self. Little touches like that really add to the power and tragedy behind her.
It also goes to show the importance of having supportive people in your life. Friends, family, love ones, they all help to build a sense of belonging, a way to ground you or lift you up even when the worse hits. But when one is or feels betrayed and abandoned enough, this is what remains. She was left alone and went where the lonely go: the top. And now all shall bow and quiver before her.
The song is amazing but can we just take a moment to appreciate how an alternate timeline russia run by a manical princess with legions of demons would be like?
Better than the Soviet Union
Russia would legit be in a better position than it was in during the revolution and today.
The kids shouldn’t have died, they shouldn’t have been touched, Nicholas and his Wife? There’s a more compelling argument for them
Probably better than Soviet Union, but in a Russia with an empire powered by a demon army, Orthodox Cristians would be a true challenge and a constant threat
Sadly probably not much worse than it ended up in real life. Germany would probably be like "yeah don't want any of that, you can keep everything east of Poland. "
Don’t worry, I got you covered:
I’m working on a fanfic of this song + animatric and, while the first part is just going to expand on what happened prior to this song, the next two part will detail what happens immediately afterward.
This song made me feel deja vu connected with Mirabel's and Meg's villain songs 😄
It's not some kind of remark about repeating yourself, it's just funny how animation (especially scared people) and the way this song sounded at some moments made me remember about Mirabel's song and Anastasia's words about "your new queen", bowing down and fear about Meg's (plus the vocalization at 1:16, especially at 1:20).
The use of Once Upon A December in the end sent CHILLS down my spine.
Great work as always!
I can’t believe Anastasia’s grandmother wouldn’t believe her, even with the music box and the necklace. I mean, it was their secret; no one else knew about it. Even dimitri thought it was a jewelry box, not a music box

It's hard to pick favorites among all these masterpieces, but this is beyond great. Especially 2:34--2:52 wrecked me and gave me so many chills. Thank you.
The vocals and twisted spins you do in your villainess songs are outstanding! And the lore behind their road to darkness... I have no words! My goodness I am hooked with everything you write and sing! Keep on the villainess trail! I am amazed and well invested on all that you create!
When you realize, how much scarier Disney princesses as villains than their acc villains and the fact they all had a choice to become evil but chose not to...
1:46 props to the dude who tried "IF I CANT SEE THEM THEY CANT SEE ME!!" btw the song was fabulous, in my opinion this rivals Mulans villain song. (Which is my personal favorite).
Edit:I love how at the start the colors are warm and inviting shades of yellow. But the second the tone changes so do the colors to their shade of green they are the rest of the song. (Except for when Anastasia starts reminiscing about the past)
Anastasia is by far one of my favorite princess movies! I love the little bits of 'Once Upon a December'! You always do an amazing job :)
AHHHHH it’s always the villian songs that’s pulling my heart strings THERE SO GOOD I’m so excited to see who’s next to be a villian

When I say this, I am completely serious. I can not get over how amazing this series is. It has got to be my favorite series on TH-cam right now. I get so excited when I see another Disney princess villain song has been uploaded.
I love the final shot of the upper half of her face shadowed. Like the dark magic is physically curopting her similarly to Necromancey making you undead.

Honestly, after everything Anastasia suffered, she deserved the right to become a villain. If she had survived in real life too, she still deserved the right to become a villain.
Then you agree that the starving people in Russia also was completely justified in their actions? Killing every member of nobility and all that?
The monarch was fucking incompetent, ignored the famine, all while throwing lavish parties while their people died in the streets. Honestly, it was only a matter of time before someone weaponized their desperation.
If anyone 'deserved' to go berserk, it'll be them. This ending is tragic because Anastasia is probably going to be making the same mistakes as the last monarch, if not worse. It'll end worse for everyone.
@@goose7215 it's not the "starving" people that killed the monarchy. Stop with your delusions and read some actual history. The majority of people supported monarchy and respected the traditions, and the long and bloody civil war that emerged only proves it even further.
@@foxanardДа, но уж точно по ним никто не скучал и не жалел, что правительство сменилось. Повод задуматься
@@AngelineTon настолько не скучал и не жалел, что сотни тысяч простых крестьян сражались до смерти с большевиками, и еще Сталину приходилось во Второй Мировой возвращать символы монархических времен, чтобы люди что-то делали. Повод задуматься над твоем необразованностью.
@@goose7215Anastasia literally did… none of that? I mean, she probably will in this universe, but that will be on purpose and not due to incompetence.
To be honest Anya is a character I think would work amazingly as a villain. Especially if she was crowned Empress... Dangit now I want an entire book on this! 😂 Amazing work! ❤😊
Let me know if you ever find anything cuz I do too haha😅
@@akikagayaki9146 will do! Hell I'll write it if I have to!
Beautiful wonderful amazing This was one of my and my mother's favorite animated movies keep up the great work
Agh, I love it! That fact that it's a twisted childhood lullaby makes it all the better!
Now that you've done Anastasia, maybe Kayley from Quest for Camelot? War killing her father and then being spurned as a woman wanting to be a knight could quickly turn one jaded.
So this movie was my childhood and meant a lot to me. So for you to take that in to something evil......I honestly like it. It was well written and honestly Anastasia's actions are completely justifiable. Rasputin probably is jealous though that the spirits are now working for Anastasia though
I'm russian and my name's Anastasia, and "Anastasia" was my favourite princess movie when I was a kid. I've always loved the original song, so this version stole my heart forever.
P.s. The "do svidaniya" at the end is the most perfect detail to this song, love it
Loved this songs so much! the music is great and the artwork with the green and brownish yellow is also amazing!!! this whole song just gives off the vibe of an old folk song about an event long past except we are seeing it happen before our eyes. The best part of this whole things was when Grandmother finally realizes Anastasia is legit, but she's not herself anymore and by that point it is far too late. Great job Lydia!
Это было бы просто идеальное продолжение Анастасии, это просто фантастика,браво❤
This was absolutely brilliant! Grand Duchess Anastasia as the villainous princess is this video was spooky, tragic, cool and amazing all at the same time!
Villain? She’s just gonna stomp some commies
The newest Disney Princess! (since Disney owns Fox they own Anastasia, therefore she's a Disney Princess)
Wait, really?
@@sashaflorence2477technically yes, but she was created way before Disney bought Fox, there were people who thought that Anastasia was created by Disney but it was created by Don Bluth
The best Disney princess*
That chorus is beautiful "starting now you finish last, the time is up the die is cast" just flows so well it works insanely well
The way I've definitely listened to/watched this over 100 times..
Happy to see my suggestion getting made.
Same
Also suggested it lol
SAME HERE!!! AS WELL AS THE SUGGESTION OMG!!!!!!😍🤯😎
Same! 😊
Omg!!! That was so amazing! I love how you recognize that so many good guys in films like Anastasia and moana could easily become villains with a single more pressure put on them. Have a good day!
"До Свидания"
One of Best finale
Wait. The start is Once upon a December!
😁
I just stumbled across these princess villain songs, and I have to say I love their energy. And this one especially speaks to me both as an Anastasia film fan and as a student of modern history. This is absolutely an alternate history I want to see! Wielding Rasputin's powers of the underworld, the mad sorceress Anastasia returns to St. Petersburg to crush the Bolsheviks and retake her country and her throne, restoring the absolute monarchy through a reign of terror, transforming Russia into a land of fear and darkness. It has strong Call of Cthulhu RPG vibes to it, completely recontextualizing the world's state in the late 1920's, the ethereal fears of rising communism replaced by the very real fears of ghosts and demons. Screw Kaiserreich, I want this scenario!
Remain calm.
Empress endures.
The Russian Empire shall endure.
There is much to be done...
That feeling when your name is Anastasia and you're also a history nerd :)
Thank you for this masterpiece❤
Anastacia is my favorite character. See her as villainess is just suitable. I'd love to see Raya as villain, she doesn't have a song on her own. But I'd love to see her hate taking control over her forgiviness. Even if everyone comes back, what if they still wanting the stone and all dragons? It's amazing to hear your songs!! Thank you so much!!!
Really hope we get a Tiana’s Revenge type edit. Also I can’t wait to watch Wish and think of the ways she could be a villain 😂😂
I love the crazy look in Anya's eyes at 2:49, 3:12, and especially 3:21 and 3:30. It shows that she truly believes with all her heart that this is the only way.
This was so good! I love that we aren't told how she got the reliquary, it makes you think how much of her own anger and sense of injustice was hers and how much of it was warped by either the dark magic, or Rasputin himself. Also, did he give it to her? Or... did she take it? This is so good, love it ❤
Anastasia is my favorite childhood movie.
It was maybe because she did not need a prince to save her,
she had Demitri the kitchen boy!
A beautiful, haunting return for the queen of music, Lydia herself!
I hope we get to see a villain song for Esmeralda based on Hellfire (I know it's already a villain song but it's SO GOOD), or maybe an "Evil Pocahontas" rendition of "Savages"!
🤩I ' m beyond excited!
I cant wait Lydia!
I love this movie!
WOWWWWW AMAZING
Это настолько прекрасный вокал, что я не могу подобрать нужных слов... Анимация, сюжет и сам голос действительно дополняют друг друга, делают картину более полной.
А это "До свидания" в конце... Я так удивилась, что пришлось переслушать, хаха.
Один из моих любимых каверов от вас на сегодняшний день❤
Honestly Anastasia been through a lot and considering the historical timeframe, the movie, a certain her family death was most likely brutal
Just wow. Great job singing. Fantastic editing skills. Always be amazing 😍🤩🤩🤗💙💙💙❤️. Love this movie.
Considering Dimitri was willing to let her go through with the scam even after he fell in love with her but before he knew who she was, I don't blame her if she went wild after that.
I do.
Nice song of Anastasia’s Villain song! Well Done!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The whole movie has an excellent soundtrack and this song is at that level, I am simply speechless before such a magnificent video; my respects and applause for such an incredible video
“You’re my new family now!”
Have fun, Dimitri.
I would say to never stick it in crazy, but I don't think he'd have a choice.
