Prince Ivan Romanov is a supportive figure in the Don Bluth direct-to-video film, Bartok the Magnificent, the prequel to the better-known film, Anastasia. Based on the real life Tsar of Russia, Ivan is portrayed as a child, in his preteens, mostly spending his time on entertainment and trick performances, making him a good friend with the bat-performer, Bartok, rather than with his social and political activities of his country. Due to his extreme desires of partaking in social events, and humiliating his royal duties, including his advisor, Ludmilla, he makes a great foe, by the latter, who wishes to dispose of him in secret.
