Anyone else find it strange...


that although everyone else spoke with Russian accents (I didn't recognize Angela Landsbury or Kelsey Grammer until I saw the credits) and the two leads - Anastasia and Dmitry didn't?

You're entitled to your opinion as long as I'm entitled to mine. And this is mine!

I found it strange that none of the main characters sing their own songs, but I never noticed it until looking at the credits. How'd that slip by? How do they sound so similar?

Sure it is, but that's a quite common thing with leads in movies that takes place in foreign countries. The side characters usually have their thick accents, while the leads speaks perfectly, sanitized American English.
