Alicia I love this movie so much

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Jesper Brun The Swan Princess sure is a childhood favourite of mine, even in my mid 20's. I still hum the songs and miss the times when hand-drawn animation was the thing. No movie has ever captured me the same way as this one. I can't pretend it's a masterpiece, but I just love it. Our main characters, Derek and Odette, are set to spent every summer together from their childhood up to their young adulthood and that is not easy, because they despise each other! How they tease each other during a montage accompagnied by the wonderful song "This is my Idea" is really entertaining, and honestly, this is how many relationships start. It was spot on. But Derek is really bad at expressing his feelings to Odette, and Derek must then prove his love for her while the villainous Rothbart also tries to marry to get to the thrown without using destructive methods. Quite original actually, a villain trying legal methods. Therefore he turns her into a swan and asks her every night to marry him if she wants to become fully human again, but she only wants her true love, Derek. And with that conflict set up we get all sorts of things you'd expect from this kind of fairy tale. I think I like it so much, because it is so down to the basics of what I know as a fairy tale with princess and princesses, magic and of course a happy ending where good triumphs over evil. And this tale of ever lasting love just melts my heart. It's sweet, and even though I can see how the romance was a tad forced, I just can't help feeling it so much. The music is well composed and the songs are effective in conveying whatever emotion they resemble and move the story forward. And the end is perfect, gets me every time! The Swan Princess is an enjoyable fairy tale mostly for kids with good songs, colourful animation, entertaining characters and a creepy villain. It really should have been a stand-alone movie, because Richard Rich and co. has ruined it with forced garbage CGI sequels with stupid plots, impossible settings, awful songs and obnoxious characters. Stick with this one and preserve the real magic.

EDP2000 If you're planning on watching this movie, watch at your own risk, because it is *painful* to sit through. The film involves a vengeful wizard who curses a princess to exist as a swan by day until her prince declares his undying love, which is the blandest story line I've ever heard of. The plot is generic. The characters are bland. The main character looks exactly like Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. And the songs are insipid. The voice acting straight up sucks. By all means, stay as far away from this movie as humanly possible.

Annabel Lee Here is a brief introduction into the plot, without giving too much away: Two young sovereigns grow up together with the knowledge that they will someday marry, to their dismay. Once matured, the princess, Odette, is captured and Prince Derek must rescue her from a mystical, evil sorcerer who wants nothing more than to take Odette's kingdom and rule with her as queen. She is cursed to transform into a swan during the day until she agrees to concede to her captor's terms, as Derek continues to desperately search for Odette, whilst everyone else loses hope on ever finding the Swan Princess.This is one of the funniest movies of all time, in my opinion. Especially the first song. :)) I've loved this movie since I was a kid, and I am sixteen now. The story lacks adult dimension, but the humor is undeniable and the characters are very fun indeed. If you liked Anastasia, you'll probably enjoy this film. My sister and I's favorite. An all-around cute, entertaining princess story with a magical twist. Would definitely recommend!

Kayley Jaworski This was the first film I ever saw in the cinema. And even as a 3 year old I knew this was terrible. I'm just going to summarize this as much as possible. Who is Odettes mother? I mean it would have been nice to get a glimpse of her even if she died of childbirth. Plus when I watch this now I just think the King may have banged one of the maids or something. And what happens to Odette's dad? You see him half dead and Prince Derek, a selfish arse, doesn't bother helping him. Which brings me down to this why is Lord Rothbart not just going to King Williams Kingdom and taking it over? He killed the King got Odette under a spell what's stopping him? Ohhh the law. Like duh bad guys have to follow the rules don't they? He wants to marry Odette to make it legit. No bad guy would go through all that trouble not when he can cast spells and turn into a giant bat. And how long exactly has Odette been under that spell? Selfish arse Derek keeps going on about, "I'll find Odette, she's like totally the one." Yet all I see you doing is playing with your bow. You see him do some pathetic research in the library which made me laugh. A mouse to a DRAGON! That must be what the king was talking about! The King certainly could've given more information for he must have known it was Rothbart unless in his old age his memory has gone. But when Puffin came into it Odette said that Speed and Jean-bob were her "best friends" seriously how long have they been friends for to become "best friends"? However I do like Speed, Jean-bob and Puffin. I was worried they were going to be obnoxious and annoying side kicks but I actually liked them. They showed more emotion than Derek and Odette combined. And Lord Rogers was my favourite character. I don't know why there's a humorous charm about him. And there is of course the classic scene that always makes me laugh. Odette: Is beauty all that matters to you? Queen Uberta: Derek, what else? Derek: What else is there? LOL! He's either an arse or just gullible. I like to call him a selfish arse (can you tell). And this "Love" does seem like petty teenage hormones the way Derek is like, "Duh your so hot! I'd bang you then run away." At least with Odette she is a little more mature about it, rather than diving in she hesitates which I admire until they both sing together. She starts singing about how much she loves him and that she knows he's looking for her blah blah blah... I'm sorry but if I asked my boyfriend that same question and he said, "What else is there?" He'd be in the dog house. I would be so angry with him... Which again must suggest that there is a time frame from the point she gets captured to the point Prince Derek decides he's lonely and wants the blondie. Which I guess could suggest absence makes the heart grow fonder but we don't see any of that. We're just left with, er Derek is a selfish arse. Oh er and then after he's played with his bow for a few weeks or months even he decides to go find Odette. I could be wrong but I feel there is something missing in between. Like you don't instantly become best friends with someone in a few days plus the way Odette, Speed and Jean- bob talk to each other it kinda feels like that they have been there for each for a long time. I'm probably reading way too much into it but for my first ever cinema trip... Ugh talk about disappointing.Sorry there is one other thing - a good point too. The animation is beautiful. I love the colours of the sky, the lake and there are some nice cinematic shots. It's really quite beautiful but the story line is inconclusive and broken in areas and the sub characters are way more interesting.
