Editorial Reviews

The Swan Princess is an animated, musical adaption of the fairy tale, "Swan Lake." An aging king (Dakin Matthews) and a widowed queen (Sandy Duncan) arrange a marriage between his only daughter and her only son, despite the two children's initial dislike of one another. Eventually they fall in love, but the evil sorcerer Rothbart (Jack Palance), desiring the throne for himself, enchants the princess Odette (Michelle Nicastro). She is a swan by day, and becomes a woman only when the moon rises. Prince Derek (Howard McGillin) refuses to accept another bride and continues to search for his lost love. When he finds her, Derek must fight the sorcerer to free her from the spell. Winner of the Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence and the Parent's Choice Award, this adventure exhibits high quality animation and a blend of romantic and humorous musical numbers. The animal characters are fun without being too cute, including Jean-Bob the frog who thinks he is a prince, given voice by John Cleese. The subtle layering of spiritual symbolism makes this film intelligent enough for adults to enjoy as well as children. Lucinda Ramsey, All Movie Guide

It's not Disney.by Anonymous

December 05, 2007: So don't expect Disney. There's only about one good song, maybe two. But it is good. I like that Odette doesn't immediately agree to marry Prince Derrek as she would if this were a "Prince Charming tale." I also like how the movie began with the "This is my Idea" song. That was cute. The movie was also funny, and showed Prince Derrek as much as it did Princeess Odette, which is good for the boys who watch it. Fairy tale movies aren't just for girls, but for boys too. It teaches the importance of inner beauty, like Beauty and the Beast. Of course, B&B was better, but this movie was still good.

October 07, 2007: This was a horrible movie. If your little one likes the Disney princess movies, DO NOT buy this one. Terrible plot developement, poor singing and songwriting. My child lost complete interest after only 20 minutes when she usually is glued to the Disney princess movies.
