Bats incapable of speech[edit]

Is that really necessary to include in the fictionalization section, seeing how it would seem to be common sense that bats can't speak. Kaiser matias (talk) 06:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Publisher Error[edit]

The publisher of this film was 20th Century Fox, not Disney.

No one ever said it was Disney 70.52.169.170 (talk) 03:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

historical inaccuracies/differences[edit]

perhaps a subsection could be included about the film's differences from actual history? 69.108.77.99 (talk) 23:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For differences there should be similarities. This film is not historical in any way. TFighterPilot (talk) 12:09, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quality Improvement[edit]

I'd really love to see the overall quality of this page improve and have already started by rewriting some things and adding references where I can find them. I've also marked some statements with the citation needed tag - much thanks to the anon that's been fixing those for me, by the way. Does anyone have any other suggestions for improving the article's quality? Shvybzik (talk) 02:35, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I love all the information you gave about this movie! So much I didn't know before, but I agree with the idea of the quality becoming better than it already is. Maybe make the lead paragraph shorter so readers don't immediately get bombarded with information and then move some of the information into different sections of the article. oreok03 11:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Character information[edit]

Should we add character details to the cast and characters section? Most of the best-written film articles on Wikipedia have one, such as Aladdin, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. --Changedforbetter (talk) 10:57, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think that would be fine; however, I am also of the belief that any character details should go under its own heading rather than under the voice cast heading itself in order to avoid cluttering the voice cast section of the article. Shvybzik (talk) 17:19, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you're saying, but having the voice cast separate from the character list would only create an unnecessary heading. On no other Wikipedia film article are the characters listed separately from the voice actors. --Changedforbetter (talk) 10:59, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've actually seen the two sections separated on some television articles so I thought that it might be okay for film articles, too, but I see what you mean. I will fix it ASAP. Shvybzik (talk) 17:47, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, I just reviewed WP:FILMCAST and one suggestion it makes is to introduce the characters through well-written prose as seen in the featured film article Tenebrae. In my opinion, the individual who revised the original plot summary of this article explained the roles of each character well enough that a new character details section altogether may be unnecessary. Which of the two recommended formats do you think would work best for this article? Shvybzik (talk) 18:14, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I kind of like the idea of including character information in the plot summary, but personally - at least in the case of an animated "children's" film where characters are often more emphasized than the story - I'd prefer if the character information was stated (along with the cast) in a separate subheading. To me, it just looks a little more organized and planned that way. Also, this allows for an easier plot read that isn't constantly interrupted by commas explaining each character's background. --Changedforbetter (talk) 19:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The bolshaviks did not topple tsardom![edit]

Contrary to what many still believes Lenin and the bolsheviks did not have a wit to do with the fall of tsardom in Russia! Tsardom was toppled by a spontaneous popular uprising that no political party had anything to do with already in February 1917.(Tha February Revolution) What Lenin and the bolsheviks did topple in the coup d´etat falsely labelled (the October)- Revolution was that democratic republic and socialdemocratic government that came after the February Revolution! The elections held shortly after showed clearly that the bolsheviks and their takeover did not have popular support. They did respond by keeping the power with military force. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.198.216.242 (talk) 10:27, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is also no evidence to support the involvement of a talking anthropomorphic bat named Bartok.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 21:24, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Animation459 (talk) 11:51, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Despite the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Anastasia will return to Disney+ on October 7, 2022.[reply]

Disney Plus[edit]

Anastasia is set to leave Starz on February 28, does this mean that Anastasia is about to return to Disney Plus in the United States next month? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1008:B152:BF19:25D2:A7A:9ACF:3C9F (talk) 14:19, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not for talking about that kind of thing. It is an encyclopedia, not the technical service of those streaming platforms. BrookTheHumming (talk) 21:19, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
