The beautiful princess Odette is transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer's spell. Held captive at an enchanted lake, she befriends Jean-Bob the frog, Speed the turtle and Puffin the bird. Despite their struggle to keep the princess safe, these good-natured creatures can do nothing about the sorcerer's spell, which can only be broken by a vow of everlasting love.

As Good As It Gets
The Swan Princess when it was released on 18 November 1994 was the worst films ever made and was a box office bomb but now is considered a classic. The real box office bomb is the 1999 version of The King and I an animation family adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's great musical. The Swan Princess is a classic animation film for the whole family!(C) Swan Princess Partners LLC1994
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!
This film was one of the highlights of my childhood. As a young girl I was captivated and mesmerized.Would strongly recommend this to anyone. The songs are catchy, the characters are extremely relatable and likable. Film conveys an important message of in inner beauty, teaching the prince to look at women for more than what's on the outside.The film has a easily followed and excitably dynamic plot line, while predictable, the ending is well done and succeeds in pleasing the audience.The color pallet is also aesthetically pleasing and altered throughout the film to suit the current mood of the characters and the constantly adapting circumstances. I also loved the animators transitions and development of the characters physically, the princess grows to be incredibly beautiful and as a child I was captivated by her beauty, hair and lovely white dress.
I've seen a lot of reviews belaboring the studio about a lack of plot. That's not exactly their fault since its BASED ON SWAN LAKE. Just putting that out there. Also I've heard Odette debates about whether she's a flat stupid princess. No. She refuses Derek when he wants to marry her just for her looks. She helps him find her. She breaks out of the dungeon with the help of her friends. She flies who knows how many miles to try and stop Derek from making a mistake. She didn't do anything to help save him BECAUSE SHE WAS PRACTICALLY DEAD. So sorry she didn't just suddenly get better and destroy a frightening giant dragon thing. What an awful character. A disgrace to women truly. Seriously? In the sequels she saves the kingdom, the queen, Derek, herself, etc. she's not a flat character. She's a wonderful princess. Unlike Cinderella-yay she fits into a shoe, sleeping beauty-she's great at slumber parties, etc. I've also seen a lot of grief over the animation. It's pretty old of course the animation will be lacking, but it's pretty good in my opinion. All in all it's a great movie in my opinion. I'm 18 and I still watch it fairly regularly. I show my little sister. I'd recommend it to anyone with children. The music is wonderful and somewhat hokey but that's one reason it's great!That's all.
