Yes, Anastasia is loosely based on the story of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia. However, Disney's version takes many creative liberties.

The Disney story of Hercules has some basis in the real myth. The core idea of Hercules being a heroic figure with extraordinary strength is there. But Disney simplified and modified a great deal. In the real myth, Hercules had to complete the Twelve Labors which were often quite dark and difficult. Disney took that concept and made it into a more upbeat and less gory adventure for kids. Also, the way Hercules' character is developed in Disney is different from the more complex and often flawed character in the original myth.
The Disney movie 'Anastasia' has some elements inspired by the real Anastasia. The real Anastasia was in a very difficult situation during the Russian revolution. Her family was overthrown, and there were many rumors and mysteries surrounding her fate.

So, while it has a connection to the real story, it's mainly a work of fiction for entertainment purposes.
