The film is still one of my favorites and the reason I became so fascinated in Russian history. That being said, I knew years ago that none of them survived, that Nicholas II was an incompetent ruler who clung to conservatism, that Alix wasn't that much better and they both were out of touch with the Russian people. And the way Anya dressed throughout the movie was inaccurate given it took place in the 1920s. I still love the film for being what it was, a fictional children's animated film about a grand duchess that survived and all that. I dunno that's just me. Same with Pocahontas.

Yeah, I honestly don't really get why people get offended over something that obviously wasn't even trying to be accurate to history. It's a fantasy retelling based on a real story, but it's clearly fiction.

Empathy. It's because of empathy. If my family and many of my relatives were brutally murdered, I'm not going to be over the freaking moon if someone decides to write a romanticized tale (for the consumption of children, no less) about their deaths, even if they change a few details here and there and swear that oh no, it's not about ME and MY DEAD FAMILY, it's fantasy! Fantasy that just parallels what happened when MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS KILLED.

You don't have to feel the same way, of course, but if you don't understand why people might not enjoy having a fairytale made out of their pain and suffering then it may be time to step back and reassess yourself.
