A Heart Warming Story.

Rating: 4
The Swan Princess is positively delightful. Funny side characters, upbeat (if silly) music, a princess and her prince. Sure to delight young kids, however, I'm 18 and I still hold the story close to my heart.

I took one star away for plot gaps, inconsistencies in the character's emotions and overall look. Princess Odette and Prince Derek fall in love in the first five minutes or so, but then Derek says beauty is all that really attracts him to Odette, so Odette breaks it off. However, the two are swearing they'll be in love "for longer than forever" after Odette get's kidnapped.

I'm super-critical when it comes to costume consistencies. When Odette leaves Derek's castle, she is wearing a dress that is different from the one we see her in after her kidnapping, even though the two events happened sequencially. But, that's really not a huge deal and I didn't notice these things as a child, I just remember adoring the story. Plus, all these criticisms come from being a theatre/film major and being trained to spot inconsistencies. :D

The movie is loveable and kids will love it!

My children and my husband and I love this movie. The story is a version of Swan Lake. The characters and music are lovable and cute. The movie has a great message and is appropriate for all ages. We watch it over and over again as a family!

Magical.

Rating: 4
It's not my favorite animated movie, but it's still really good! I remember watching this movie when I was younger. And now, at almost 21, it's still just a magical for me. My young nieces love it too!

Decent Movie, but more of a chick flick..

Rating: 4
It is a decent movie but I really bought it for my girlfriend. Kind a gift with the purpose of reliving the childhood and it worked out nicely. She loved it and it a very enjoyable movie. Great music and a cute storyline, it all ties together to create a good flick.
