Long version: the production first films real life actors and actresses going through the action of the scene, or film movement through a space/setting. Then the team of animators go frame by frame of that live action footage and draw over it, thus creating a copy of the motion that can be then used for a cartoon. If you remember that really old Superman cartoon series from the 40's, the characters were rotoscoped. Snow White was, too, for the human-proportioned characters (thus why the dwarves and animals seem so stylistic/cartoony in comparison to the people).
For something like Anastasia, it means that the more "realistic" looking characters -- Anastasia, Dmitri, so forth -- have more human-looking proportions and motions, rather than the more "cartoon" style the OP is disenchanted by -- which crops up in the minor characters and the pets/animal sidekicks in that same movie, anyway. It's a shorthand for getting real-looking expressions and motions, but often times the film winds up with dissonance between characters that are rotoscoped and those that aren't, or like one of the other anons was saying, between the characters and their surroundings.
Of course, most animated films do use live actors/filming thereof as reference, but rotoscoping is more specifically the going-frame-by-frame to convert, rather than having artists watch footage and go "oh yes that's how the arm should move here, this is how much of the back we see at this angle."
I'm not an expert, so I may have gotten things wrong, but this is the general idea!
