It’s like Anastasia is avenging her family

[RandomPerson-hdsb]

This sounds like something they'd play during a live action trailer

[ronnieisreal]

this sounds like it belongs in the would be trailer for a live action Anastasia movie WHiCH WE VERY MUCH NEED BTW

[JeanGreyish]

This is a masterpiece! The original shred me to tears, and this one is reminding me of the power of history, and the sadness of Anastasia's true fate.

[kalikabali]

I was halfway through the song when I realised there were no lyrics and I was singing in my head. That is how iconic this is

[Laura-msgs]

Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory.
Far away,
Long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

[gleekpotterhead]

why am i imagining anastasia with her own army ready to fight the bolsheviks :(

[xjayy]

One of my favorite animated movies of all time! Glad you did a cover of “Once Upon A December” as it’s clearly the most memorable song.

[jthompson]

Dancing bears...
Painted wings...
Things I almost remember...
And a song, someone sings...

Once upon a December.

I didn't know Anastasia went to Hogwarts

[Live Action Sequence]
[Anastasia runs down alleys of the streets during a cold night of winter in Moscow]
[She enters the mirky palace, flooded with ice and wind]
[The ice and wind starts to form patterns of Russian art tapestries and then, silhouttes of couples dacing]
[The dancing haze becomes golden dust particles as Anastisia dances in the Ghost Ball, she is in full diamond gown]
[The ball stops, the dancing fades, the hot golden becomes silver ice, and her gown fades into her street clothing]
Ana whispers: "Once upon a
(Her voice fades into the palace echo and carryied with the haze in the broken dors and windows)
(Wide shoot of Moscow with the sounds of her voice taken by the wind)

[szczodre]

Wow, it's great version. I feel majesty time of european old monarchies. When have i closed my eyes, i see people dancing waltz in Winter Palace.

[danajeserio]

THIS WOULD BE SO COOL FOR ANASTASIA LIVE ACTION TRAILER !!!

[lisaleyendekker]

the whole time this song played, I just imagined the bolsheviks invading the palace, the Romanovs living in peril in a compound, the bittersweet memories of royal splendor the family had access to, the hardships of WWI the Romanovs took part in and the final moments of the family being led into the basement of the compound.
you turned this melancholic song into the epic tale of their tragic lives.

[logansim]

As someone who grew up with this is movie playing a big part of my childhood, I can say 100% that this version moved me just as much as the original.

[victoriabryer]

This song makes me cry everytime, she dances with her ghost dad it so sad

[cozyninos]

Th beat makes it sound like a battle, pretty cool undertone for the history of the Romanovs and war

[mizukisubs]

saw someone comment this on a different video, so I expanded it and made some changes
here's a "darker" version

Late one night, Distant screams
People shouting “Surrender!”
Blood stained snow haunts my dreams
Once upon a December

Someone calling out my name
Soldiers bursting right through the gates
Fear and fire seize my heart, and then the world goes dark

Lost, alone
All these years
Wishing I could remember
Finally now, the truth revealed
I should have died that December

Once upon a December.

Someone calling out my name
Soldiers bursting right through the gates
Fear and fire seize my heart, and then the world goes dark

Lost, alone
All these years
Wishing I could remember
Finally now, the truth revealed
I should have died that December

On to Paris I will go, Anastasia's coming home

[KimOfDrac]

I love how this version has more of a Russian vibe than from the animated movie

[colonyofrats]

This sounds like a murder mystery tv show theme song lol I love it
