Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Rasputin is a living, rotting corpse. He frequently breaks apart and has to have his pieces put back in place. Although it does explain why he was so difficult to kill in real life.
Well to be fair, he was supposed to be alive before his transformation into Koschei, so it's likely that being a lich didn't really factor into how hard it was to kill him.
I was absolutely terrified when I went to see Anastasia in theaters. I was five, and my mother took me to see it. The climax where Rasputin dies was enough to make me scream and say "I never want to see another PG movie again!!!" (This from the girl who took Twister's father-stealing tornado in stride two years prior.)
The part where Rasputin disintegrates into dust prompted an OCD freak-out in me as a little kid.
I had nightmares for MONTHS after watching this movie and had to go see a counselor...
Rasputin trying to make Anya fall off the edge of a bridge into icy water below.
There are parts of this movie this troper still refuses to watch at the age of 20: the opening scene in which Rasputin makes his deal with the devil, and the part at the end when he disintegrates.
Then there's the spin-off movie Bartok The Magnificent. Especially since the main villainess has a potion that turns whoever drinks it into what they were like on the inside, when Ludmilla drinks it she turns into a dragoness of some kind.
The potion was supposed to turn whoever drinks it into a reflection of their personality. When the aforementioned villainess drank it..
She turns into a dragon. You know...she was an over-the-top diva.
