| Bartok the Magnificent | comment |
Bartok the Magnificent is a 1999 Direct to Video semi-prequel to Don Bluth's Anastasia. This film is interesting for a couple of reasons: On the Don Bluth trope page, we mentioned that he does not own the rights to the films he directed. Bluth had absolutely nothing to do with any of the sequels to any of his movies... except this one. This is the only sequel he directed. (If you're wondering, if it isn't "better" than most sequels spawned off Bluth films, then at least it is a lot weirder.) And, funnily enough, it barely counts as a prequel to Anastasia. It's really more of a Spinoff that has its own canon (Bluth himself put it "somewhere between a movie and a very expensive video"). The only things connecting Bartok the Magnificent to the previous film are the Russian setting and Bartok himself.The plot follows Bartok as a traveling entertainer and conman traveling Russia with a bear named Zozi, pretending to be a great hero and adventurer. His facade as a hero backfires when Tsarviech Ivan Romanov disappears, kidnapped by the mysterious Baba Yaga. Ludmilla, Ivan's advisor, hires Bartok to get him back, and the bat finds he can't say no. So the pair set off, and Bartok might become a hero yet.Has nothing to do with the composer Béla Bartók. | |

The Cameo: Rasputin... Possibly. When Bartok returns from Baba Yaga with the potion and begins talking about its effects, an old man who bears a striking resemblance to Rasputin (albeit less evil-looking) comes over to him. Considering Bartok is a prequel to Anastasia, perhaps this is how Rasputin and Bartok first met? The villager crying for more water during the climax appears to sport Bluth's mustache. | |

Villain Song | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: "The Real Ludmilla". A jaunty and happy song in a torture chamber where Ludmilla sings how she will subjugate Russia. The song revels in Black Comedy and has some especially surreal visuals as Ludmilla turns into a dragon. "Someone's in My House" would seem like one on first viewing, until it's revealed that Baba Yaga isn't a villain. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Rasputin is associated with dark clothes such as browns, greens, and grays. He was casted out from his position of confidant early on by Nicholas who realized his treacherous and evil nature early on, causing Rasputin to make a Deal with the Devil to enact a curse to wipe out the lineage including several attempts on the sole survivor, Anastasia. He's a lich slowly rotting away with demonic powers aiding him and alternates between depressed and maniacally malicious. Bartok was his emotional support until he's become too consumed by Revenge for Bartok to try to redeem him. | |

Hidden Heart of Gold: When he meets her, Baba Yaga calls herself evil and threatens to kill Bartok if he doesn't get what she needs or relies on Zozi for help. Of course, her behavior turns out to be a Secret Test of Character so she could see if Bartok was capable of saving Ivan from Ludmilla, and, while still grumpy and antisocial, she turns out to be a much nicer person than she lets on. | |

Anachronism Stew: The setting is supposed to be pre-revolutionary Russia, but it mixes Imperial Russia (18th-19th centuries) with Russian folklore from the first millennium AD, features a fictional Romanov prince based on a fairy tale character from said folklore, a witch who sings jazz (which wasn't invented until either the late 19th or early 20th century). | |

Kick the Dog: After Bartok finds out about Ludmilla's scheme and kidnapping of Ivan, she locks him up in a cage, steals his potion, smashes the tower floor so he, Ivan and Vol can drown, and she rubs the situation right in their faces before closing the door. She also strangles a rat, slaps a prisoner to the point his head snaps backwards, and it's implied she's been torturing innocent men behind Ivan's back on flimsy charges for years. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Bartok was hardly a villain to begin with in his debut, but here he becomes a straight up hero, with some mild trickster elements. Baba Yaga in mythology can be helpful and even benevolent on occassion, but most tales have her as a sadistic witch who has strange morals at best and really does kidnap and eat children. Here she is portrayed in a much more sympathetic light and her reputation as a child kidnapper and eater is unfounded. She even (indirectly) helps Bartok save Ivan. | |

Vain Sorceress: Ludmilla, downplayed as she doesn't have inherent magical powers on her own and her One-Winged Angel comes from outside sources (Baba Yaga's potion) and she's oblivious to the transformation until she's seen the completed transformation in a reflection, which she reacts negatively to. Aside from this, she's so vain that she pictures herself to be already a beauty with the potion likely making her beauty up to eleven, so self-absorbed that she doesn't notice the transformation until she sees a reflection and throws a narcissistic fit of rage on Moscow when it turns out it turned her into an ugly dragon to reflect her rotten heart. | |

Becoming the Mask: Bartok starts off as a performing traveller who brags about being a hero who has performed several grand feats such as slaying a dragon, over the course of the story and with the encouragement of Zozi, Bartok actually ends up becoming a hero and saves Moscow by slaying a Dragon. | |

Smug Snake: Ludmilla has the overtly Faux Affably Evil aspect of one including being assured that her plans are infallible only to throw a fit when they don't work out. Her inadvertent One-Winged Angel into a dragon is another of her ill-thought out decisions, assuming that it make her even more beautiful than she already is, rather than becoming something that reflects on her true rotten nature. | |

| Bartok the Magnificent / int_571bfe2 | comment |
Super Serum: Baba Yaga's potion, which turns whoever uses it into their inner self, can be either depending on who drinks it. If taken by a repressed hero like Bartok, it would have supposedly made him into a heroic superbat. However, when taken by Ludmilla - a repressed murderous sadist - it instead turns her into a violent fire-breathing dragon. This noticeably surprises her, but not Bartok or the audience. | |

Animal Motif: Ludmilla has two motifs. The first is the Dragon with her dragon form, as well as having traits such as being destructive, overtly greedy, and wrathful being overall behind her facade. The second is noticeable, but more subtle. Rats. Her song initially is accompanied by rats, her lyrics include lying and sneaking about- which are common rat traits, the first stage of her Bit-by-Bit Transformation is a bulbous rat like tail, and she comes across as a rat hiding in place sight, with her transformation revealing her true nature, which Bartok then has to exterminate her as a oversized vermin at that point. | |

Evil Witch: Subverted with Baba Yaga. She has all the hallmarks of one at first and does have a mean streak, but she was framed for kidnapping Prince Ivan—she's not evil, just a loner. Ironically, Ludmilla has the narcissistic personality and typical elegant enchantress appearance of one in spite of being a normal human and her stock draconic One-Winged Angel is a product of an outside source, unknowingly becoming a dragon that she soon is enraged by not turning her into the even more beautiful version of herself she envisioned. | |

Uncanny Valley | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_6b5a92dc | comment |
Uncanny Valley: To emphasize its otherworldly nature, the Skull is rendered in early CGI and looks unnatural compared to the traditionally animated cast. Ludmilla seems pretty at a first glance, but her proportions are too thin to be natural with her face being slightly exaggerated with her nose being slightly serpentine with an enlarged mouth that is forced to be smaller than it actually is. Her transformation prior to the completed clownish and cartoonish dragon form invokes this with her elegant features juxtaposed with the gradually obese reptilian form, initially with her tail, then cartoonishly large hands, wide reptilian bosom/hips to her beautiful head, then her face plastered like a mask over the dragon's head. Leading to several surreal moments. | |

Ludmilla is associated with gold, pinks, and blacks, is a somewhat favored regent in spite of her visible villainous traits that the Prince is annoyed, but trusts until her true colors are revealed and decides to take the throne for herself once he proves too unruly to be a mere Puppet King. She's a normal person with high political power until taking Baba Yaga's potion to become a dragon, a physical threat due to her fire breathing and strength, with her refined facade hiding her sadistic, ill-tempered, and ambitious nature. She uses Bartok as an Unwitting Pawn to be sent on mission to rescue Ivan from Baba Yaga to both eliminate the annoyance and to divert attention away from her own misdeeds. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: When Ivan turns out to be alive, her overall overtly polite facade briefly breaks as she briefly engages in Suddenly Shouting before recomposing herself. Her Villain Song is her gradually entering a permanent one in which she changes from her faux polite self into her true bestially violent self as a near-mindless dragon. | |

Heel Realization: Not a full example, but Ludmilla is clearly very surprised that "the real Ludmilla" is a hideous fire-breathing dragon as opposed to a beautiful queen or something else beautiful that she narcissistically envisioned herself to be. | |

Faux Affably Evil | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_95b7c400 | comment |
Faux Affably Evil: Ludmilla fashions herself as polite and graceful, but barely hides the fact that she's an extremely unpleasant person with implied sadistic traits, a short temper, and psychotic ambitions. Her Villain Song is entirely about tossing aside her elegant facade to embrace her inner bombastic villainy and bestial sadism while unknowingly becoming a monstrous dragon to reflect the change in a more visual manner. | |

Big Bad: Baba Yaga is set up to be the main villain, but that turns out to be a charade—Ludmilla turns out to be the real villain, having Ivan kidnapped with the intention to kill him, and framing Baba Yaga for kidnapping him, all as part of her plan to usurp the throne. | |

Bizarre Belching | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_9d0cb8c6 | comment |
Bizarre Belching: In the climax, Ludmilla drinks a magical potion in the belief that it will make her even more beautiful - and immediately lets out a very loud, unladylike belch, coughing up a cloud of multicolored smoke in the process. Unfortunately, the potion actually brings out the drinker's true nature, and this initial belch is just the first symptom in Ludmilla's Bit-by-Bit Transformation into a dragon. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_a3515d6 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Given that the film is either a prequel or spinoff, Ludmilla contrasts Rasputin with how their Obviously Evil Evil Chancellor roles beyond just gender and how they interact with Bartok. Rasputin is associated with dark clothes such as browns, greens, and grays. He was casted out from his position of confidant early on by Nicholas who realized his treacherous and evil nature early on, causing Rasputin to make a Deal with the Devil to enact a curse to wipe out the lineage including several attempts on the sole survivor, Anastasia. He's a lich slowly rotting away with demonic powers aiding him and alternates between depressed and maniacally malicious. Bartok was his emotional support until he's become too consumed by Revenge for Bartok to try to redeem him. Ludmilla is associated with gold, pinks, and blacks, is a somewhat favored regent in spite of her visible villainous traits that the Prince is annoyed, but trusts until her true colors are revealed and decides to take the throne for herself once he proves too unruly to be a mere Puppet King. She's a normal person with high political power until taking Baba Yaga's potion to become a dragon, a physical threat due to her fire breathing and strength, with her refined facade hiding her sadistic, ill-tempered, and ambitious nature. She uses Bartok as an Unwitting Pawn to be sent on mission to rescue Ivan from Baba Yaga to both eliminate the annoyance and to divert attention away from her own misdeeds. | |

Chekhov's Skill | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_acecb17d | comment |
Chekhov's Skill: Baba Yaga's "magic intuition" is briefly mentioned in her song number "Someone's in my House", and seems like it was just there to justify her knowing Bartok was hiding in her house. After Bartok completes her challenges and shows her compassion, she uses the same intuition to reveal that not only did she not kidnap Prince Ivan, but that he never even left the castle. A lot of Bartok's early showsmanship skills come back to him in important ways later. A good direct example being when he accidentally starts juggling hot coals and ends up distracting Oble the Metalworker, which he later intentionally uses to distract dragon Ludmilla. | |

Oh, Crap!: Ludmilla has this reaction when Bartok tells her Ivan is in the tower. Up until then she thought he was dead. She also has this reaction when she realizes she's turned into a dragon. Then of course her death, when she realizes that Bartok tricked her into causing her and the water tower to fall to her death. | |

For the Evulz: This is about the extent of Ludmilla's characterization; she's sadistic, vain and wants to usurp the throne from Ivan by kidnapping and assassinating him in order to rule in a tyrannical manner similar to Attila the Hun. The visuals and some of the lyrics to Baba Yaga's song "Someone's in My House" imply that she knew all along that Bartok was there and decided to toy with him a little before capturing him. Subverted in her case as she's not actually evil. | |

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_b426973b | comment |
The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Sort of happens to Ludmilla at the end. Baba Yaga's potion makes anyone who drinks it "ten times the person" they are inside. Ludmilla drinks it thinking it will turn her into what she thinks she is: beautiful, sweet and graceful as a flower, but since inside she's rotten and villainous she instead turns into a monstrous dragon. Her manner of speaking noticeably becomes much less sweet and controlled — and more manic and aggressive - over the course of her Villain Song, but she doesn't even realize anything's changing until she gets a look at herself in the mirror. Up until that point she was still talking about how she's going to be the golden ruler to the people of Russia - by the time Bartok gets to the city she's a mindless, rampaging beast setting everything on fire, and she doesn't talk at all or act like anything but a feral monster for the rest of her appearances. Since she's the villain anyway it's less noticeable - and it's more of a "mind is a plaything of the body which is a plaything of the inner self" type deal - but it's definitely an example. If you interpret the events to mean that Baba Yaga knew Ludmilla would steal the potion and therefore she made it a "turn into dragon" poison from the outset, then it's a completely straight version of the trope. | |

Anti-Hero: Bartok starts off as this. He's a traveling performer who brags about feats he's obviously never done, and uses Zozi (who acts like a feral bear out of control) as part of his act to trick people into thinking he's a hero, conning the townspeople out of a great deal of money, and Ivan of a ring. By the end, he ends up becoming a hero for real and actually does feats similar to what he bragged about in the opening. | |

Non-Action Guy: Zozi the Bear, Bartok's business partner and sidekick contributes almost nothing to the plot, and otherwise just serves as comic relief—he's even specifically forbidden from helping Bartok by Baya Yaga's orders. The only plot relevant scenes he has are contributing to Bartok's fake hero charades in the opening, and later freeing Bartok and then rescuing Ivan from the watertower while Bartok deals with Dragon Ludmilla. | |

Toilet Humor: A mild example, but after wolfing down Baba Yaga's potion, Ludmilla makes a very loud, vulgar burp, complete with expelling a technicolor odor to go with it. | |

The first is the Dragon with her dragon form, as well as having traits such as being destructive, overtly greedy, and wrathful being overall behind her facade. | |

Spin-Off: Ostensibly a prequel, but its setting and tone has few ties to Anastasia, that it really feels more like this. | |

Fake Ultimate Hero | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_da3043c5 | comment |
Fake Ultimate Hero: Bartok when the story starts. Ludmilla exploits this by sending Bartok on a quest to save Ivan from Baga Yaga, solely because she believes it would mean a nuisance would be out of her way and would smokescreen her secret kidnapping of Ivan. | |

Red Herring | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Ludmilla has her lackey kidnap Ivan while disguised as Baba Yaga and locked up in the tower (with the intent to kill him), framing Baba for the kidnapping and planning to claim the throne from Ivan in his absence. She sends Bartok out to find Yaga and retrieve Ivan just to get him out of her way, honestly believing he wouldn't come back. | |

Narm | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_e545d293 | comment |
Ludmilla seems pretty at a first glance, but her proportions are too thin to be natural with her face being slightly exaggerated with her nose being slightly serpentine with an enlarged mouth that is forced to be smaller than it actually is. Her transformation prior to the completed clownish and cartoonish dragon form invokes this with her elegant features juxtaposed with the gradually obese reptilian form, initially with her tail, then cartoonishly large hands, wide reptilian bosom/hips to her beautiful head, then her face plastered like a mask over the dragon's head. Leading to several surreal moments. | |

Transformation Exhilaration | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_e78247ba | comment |
Transformation Exhilaration: In the climax Ludmilla drinks a potion that she believes will make her more beautiful than ever. Unknown to her, it's actually meant to bring out her true self, and it results in her undergoing a Bit-by-Bit Transformation into a dragon; however, Ludmilla clearly finds the process enjoyable, exalting at every stage of the transformation over the course of her show-stopping Villain Song. Indeed, she's so carried away with excitement that she doesn't even notice what she's becoming until after the transformation is complete. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Baba Yaga in mythology can be helpful and even benevolent on occassion, but most tales have her as a sadistic witch who has strange morals at best and really does kidnap and eat children. Here she is portrayed in a much more sympathetic light and her reputation as a child kidnapper and eater is unfounded. She even (indirectly) helps Bartok save Ivan. | |

Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Bartok is a Talking Animal, his grotesque bear companion is almost anthropomorphic, there are a couple of monsters and oddities of indeterminate species, and everyone else is human. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: Played with. During Ludmilla's Villain Song, she downs a potion Baba Yaga gave to Bartok (it was supposed to turn him into a heroic creature capable of saving the day) and turns into "the real Ludmilla" a giant purple dragon. However, she had no idea this was going to happen, wasn't even aware it was taking place, and apparently had no control over herself once it finished - so stopping her ends up less like fighting the Big Bad as a monster and more getting rid of a dangerous animal remnants of a foolish Smug Snake's ill-thought out decision. | |

Evil Is Hammy | |
| Bartok the Magnificent / int_fdf22cfd | comment |
Evil Is Hammy: Ludmilla. She even drinks dramatically. She even hams up sitting down on a throne. Her Villain Song takes this trait up to eleven, with her forced subdued nature being cast aside to embrace her inner villainy. Ironically, she loses this trait as a dragon, becoming apparently bestial in thought. | |

Brick Joke: After getting the potion from Baba Yaga, Bartok asks Baba for a hug for the heck of it, and she warns him not to push his luck and shoos him off. In the end, Baba shows up and grudgingly lets Bartok hug her, since he saved the day. | |
