The best version of the disappearing Duchess is still that one animated version where Meg Ryan is the voice of Anastasia (look it up). Anyway, the duchess doesn’t disappear in this one.

Bilbo Baggins shows up in the last hour of a three-hour tale (one for every hundred years that the Romanovs held power in Russia).

Rasputin is also there and in this one, it doesn’t take quite so many tries to kill him as the tales would have us all believe – gotta say, disappointing on that front.

The Russian government has come almost as far as the American one.
