The Swan Princess (1994)

Just perfect...

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The plot is as follows once upon time in generic there lived a king who very much wanted a child. One day he got one a daughter and decided to marry her off to the son of the old widow queen Uberta. But when the day comes the princess is cursed by an evil sorcerer and transformed to a swan it's up to the prince to save her.The Plot. The plot is stolen from Disney movies most notably Sleeping beauty but this movie is way way way worse than that masterpiece. The plot is not bad just bland and uninteresting.The characters. The ones that aren't stolen from other animated movies are dull. Derk is a nonentity and Odette is nice but dull. The villain's your ordinary power hungry magician . The only one that has some life is The queen who is fun and entertaining The voice work is good from the likes Pontus Gustafson(The Jungle Book) , Lars Edström(Professor Calculus in Tintin) and Torsten Wahlund( the Seacrow Island movies) Nothing great but good. It's well done and i have nothing to complain about .The stand out being Christina Schollin as the queen..The song . The song are a mixed bag some move the plot along like "No Fear while some grind it to a halt like Far Longer Than Forever. No More Mr. Nice Guy is fun but pointless and the actor(Swedish voice) is not really a singer.All in all The Swan Princess is not bad. But it's dull ,lifeless, pointless and very cliché.If you have kids there are far far far worse thing to put on ( most made in Sweden). But they are also much better things to show them the film is mediocre.

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 remember being 8 years old and watching this movie endlessly. I also recall singing "For longer than forever" over and over again (I'm such a sucker for that kind of songs). Recently, I had been trying to recall the song unsuccessfully, and when I found it on Netflix, I jumped in for old time's sake and because I wanted to hear the song.Watching it 12 years later resulted in disappointment regarding the plot line, character development, animation, voice acting and lyrics. That may seem to imply I hated it, but I didn't. It is actually more than the sum of it's parts, mostly, I think, because it follows the formula of every princess movie that ever existed, and that worked out.I also think something that really saves this movie is the sidekick ensemble. Jean Bob + Speed work very well together and are a lot of fun. Puffin is very likable. Bromley and Rogers are a very fun companion to Prince Derek, and both villains are indeed very entertaining. The scenes containing these are very fun.Music-wise, it is also very formulaic, borrowing incredibly from Beauty and the Beast (in my opinion). It works, though. I think the ideas for the songs were very clever, although the execution was not very well done. For Longer than Forever is good. Not great, but you will find yourself humming it every once in a while.I think children will enjoy this, and if you take it lightheartedly, you will like it too. I also noticed this is a good movie for watching over and over and over... It's easy to switch in and out, and works well being played on the background. I really understand why I loved this as a child.

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.
