It was a brilliant mix of humour, romance, & awesome songs!!!!!!!! "For Longer Than Forever" will stick in your head for days!!!!! The main characters are:Princess Odette-Damsel in Distress Prince Derek-big hero guy Rothbart-evil sorceror Jean-Bob, the ego-filled frog who thinks he's a prince Lorenzo Trudge-A-Long/Speed, wise turtle & Jean-Bob's best friend Puffin-a tough puffin bird who owes Odette There's also Queen Uberta & Lord Rogers, but I'm too lazy too describe them. Anyways, enjoy this movie, but don't even THINK about the sequels, THEY [STINK]!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Almost the worst film I've ever seen. Review: Not the worst film I've ever seen, but a close second. My roommate's quote for this film was "It made me want to claw out my own eyes and stuff them in my ears." This film is a mis-mash of fairy tales, combining "Swan Lake" with elements from "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Beauty and the Beast." From "Sleeping Beauty" we have the father despairing of her birth until late in his life. Yet we never meet Odette's mother. From "Beauty and the Beast" we have the theme of love should transcend appearance and the motif where Rothbart comes to Odette every night to ask her to marry him so he can have her kingdom legally. And from "Cinderella" we have the ball. After Odette's father is killed and she disappears, Derrick's mother attempts to convince her son to wed another since she thinks Odette is dead. In this we get the song "Princesses on Parade," where Derrick is forced to sit through a long line of women paraded for him in outlandish costumes and their finer points ticked off like a bad singles ad. The film suffers greatly from being too derivative, too predictable and trying to be too many things to too many people. This is truly bad animation. The Swan Princess is everything that is trite and annoying in all of Disney's films all rolled into one film. The songs are horrendous but fortunately immemorable, there is no characterization to speak of and a concert film has a better (and less predictable) plot. However, apparently some people really love this movie, but in my opinion if you want "Swan Lake", go to the ballet.
Rating: Summary: An excellent musical cartoon along the lines of Swan Lake Review: Princess Odette and Prince Derek have been urged since childhood to wed and unite their kingdoms by their nosey parents, only truly learning disdain for one another. When Odette's father is killed by a mysterious shape-shifting beast and Odette is kidnapped, Derek must search and train for a fight against an unknown power for the hand of his true love. The songs are enticing and the animation, while not-quite Disney quality, is still engrossing. John Cleese voices one of Odette's nature-friends, which is always a bonus.
Rating: Summary: My 5 year old loves this movie! Review: The animation and voices are as good as anything disney has put out. The characters and plot are enjoyable, and especially enticing to a child. My girl has the Barbie Swan lake and appears to like this one better. Similar plot as they are based on the same original work, but different enough to make it enjoyable.
As an adult I appreciated the fact that it made no overt efforts to push any politically correct agenda - as so many animated movies do these days. It is politically correct in its own representation, but has no moral message being pushed on my child.
Rating: Summary: Froggster Review: The Swan Princess is such a great movie, the animation, the story, the characters- superb. I t must have done well enough to make two and three so why don't they release the films on DVD?
Rating: Summary: Finally, a fairy tale where the Prince is a real character. Review: The Swan Princess stands out for developing the character of Derek, the Prince. I also appreciated that the princess was not impressed by someone who was in love with only her beauty. The music and animation were high quality, and it has become a beloved family favorite in our household. I wish it had received more attention, making tie-ins a bit more easy to come by. Although, being harder to find may provide its own special charm. By the way, we found the sequel disappointing. (has anyone found sheet music for the soundrack?)
