I think most of Anastasia's inaccuracies fall into one of two categories: either the unrealistic cartoonism and magic and musical-style singing, or the idea that the central character actually was Anastasia as claimed and not a pretender.

Whereas Pocahontas' whole setup and narrative is just... nonsense

Well, to be fair, the unrealistic cartoonism and magic made a right royal muck-up of the depiction of the Russian revolution. So there was that. Ignoring everything about the actual revolution and its causes in favour of 'undead sorceror casts a curse and the palace falls in a night' is a bit nonsense as well.

Yeah, I think it's generally hard to tease out the difference between historical inaccuracy and genre convention

(Anonymous) 2018-10-10 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Given what we do know about what actually happened to the royal family, I'd put it at a liiittle closer to Pocahontas nonsense than you seem to.

The fact that all of them died? That's what I was referring to with the fact that Anastasia was a pretender rather than actually Anastasia. And even then, there actually were such pretenders (at least IIRC).
