Watch The Swan Princess For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

Best movie of this year hands down!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Honestly I have never seen in film during the year I was born being the worst! I haven't seen this film today and when I just seen it today, I just was heavily disappointed! The beginning just had a terrible opening Odette and Prince Derek were cheesing each other off from childhood to adulthood. I mean c'mon it's suppose to be a fairytale, not a stupid teenage film! Did they not think of the children viewers at all?I also found that one of the kid actors voices were just awful, they didn't sound like their own normal human voice, it sounded more like a badly synchronised robot voice. I don't know why this film won a Golden Globe because this film is awful and I wouldn't show this to kids, it is such a terrible movie!

Prince Derek and Princess Odette are forced to spend their summers together by their widowed parents hoping for them to fall in love. Just when they seem to do just that, Derek says "You're beautiful.", and Odette ask "What else?". Derek could only reply "What else is there?". Evil sorcerer Lord Rothbart kidnaps Odette and places her under a spell which turns her into a swan. She turns back to a woman when she's on the lake as the moon rise. When moonlight leaves the lake, she's turn back into a swan. The only way to break the spell is to have her love make a vow of everlasting love.This is very much an 80s style animation with the singing, the drawing, and the subject matter. All the characters are straight out of 80s Disney movies. And quite frankly, it works on that terms. The animation, the jokes, the princess subject, the songs... all of it works but only on that term.

After Disney released "The Lion King" which has been met with critical praise and became a success at the box office for the company, Disney animator Richard Rich (known for directing "The Fox and the Hound" and "The Black Cauldron") teams up with New Line Cinema to make their very first animated feature, "The Swan Princess", based on the Swan Lake ballet.It tells the story about two kids named Derek & Odette who started to hate each other for about a long time until one day, as young adults, they finally realize that they do love each other, but Derek ruins the wedding by saying "What else is there?" and they will never see each other again. Meanwhile, an evil sorcerer named Rothbart captures Odette and turns her into a swan that would only turn her back into a human as the moon rises. As Derek tries to find Odette by learning from his mistake, Odette and her animal friends Jean-Bob, a frog, Speed, a turtle, and Puffin, a bird attempts to bring her back to Derek.I first saw this film when I was a child and it has been stuck with me ever since even as a young adult (I'm turning 19 soon, by the way). It still holds up, but there are two problems that I do have with this classic. The animation is beautiful and colorful, but is a bit deflated some of the time. Derek is a bland character, but is a somewhat sympathetic character since he learned that to love a woman is to prove his love for her.Flaws aside, everything else still holds up. The story is very original and sticks closely to the ballet without any ballet dances which works for me. The characters are charming and likable; Odette is a beautiful and feisty character and I liked her hair as well. The side characters including Bromley, Rogers (whose line "How To Offend Women In 5 Syllables Or Less made me laugh) and Uberta, who never fails to steal every scene in the movie. The animal sidekicks including Jean-Bob, Speed, and Puffin are excellent. The villain Rothbart, voiced by the late Jack Palace, is great and his motives, although over-the-top, are very amusing. The songs, on the whole, are pleasant and memorable to listen to especially "Far Longer Than Forever". Even the ending is satisfying. The battle between Derek and Rothbart is the best highlight of the movie because it represents some of the past-Disney films with a style and tone to it.Overall, The Swan Princess isn't a masterpiece, but it's by no means a cult classic that has been stuck with me since my childhood. It may have received a mixed reception when it was first released, but I'm recommending this to those who love Disney and Non-Disney films.

Well I personally loved the movie when I was little and still love it now as an adult. It was that movie that I could watch 100 times and still love it. It had everything you wanted from a movie, it has fantasy, mystery, action, romance, comedy, and drama. It had songs you would be singing the next day, it had unforgettable quote "what else is there?". The movie isn't for everyone especially people who prefer visually stunning pieces or deeper character depth. They don't go into great characterization especially of the romances, as they just seem to fall in love. Showing this recently to little cousins they don't see the brilliance of the story behind the movie. I love this movie and the sequels. Not for everyone but a favorite of mine.
