Philip and Jodi discuss the direct-to-video prequel to 'Anastasia' (1997), 'Bartok the Magnificent' (1999), directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. The film establishes the enigmatic Bartok as a mystical creature whose history dates back well before the rise of the USSR. In a world where talking, street-performing bats (and bears) are nothing too out-of-the-ordinary, the task of rescuing a beloved prince from the mythical Baba Yaga falls to Bartok, whose bravery and wit may just allow him to succeed. The film teaches the importance of perseverance through adversity, and that friends come in the unlikeliest forms.
