Swan Princess: A Royal Myztery Review

[@orangepudding3876]

This franchise has taught me many things over the years: 1. Squirrels Lives Matter 2. Royals don’t have kingdoms to rule over 3. Lying to the public is perfectly okay 4. You can just adopt a kid by saying so 5. A marriage that was made so kingdoms would be United does nothing when the kings and queens don’t retire 6. Rats are the devil 7. Children can be trusted with all responsibility 8. Squirrel ghosts and bad 3D grog monsters will haunt you forever 9. “What else is there?”

[@morganyoung3557]

Does Odette even go back to her own kingdom after she is married to even just check on it, I mean she is technically the Queen of that kingdom since her father died and she was an only child.

[@ImaNerdANDaGeek]

It feels unfortunate that the voice acting is actually pretty good in this, the actors manage to get clear emotion into the voice, but they are matched up with these scenes that haven't had the writing to build up the emotions. They sound like they genuinely care when they have no reason to.

[@jaygooese4242]

What have they done to Odette? She was smart in the early films and now “cinnamon-scented mice”? For Pete’s sakes, she’s a mother now!!

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

But she never acts like one. What is Odette now but just a thing to remind us that these movies are indeed Swan Princess movies anymore?

[@ImaNerdANDaGeek]

Apparently rising like a phoenix bird from the ashes of Rothbart's notes like she did in the movie has the side affect of bird brain.

[@morganyoung3557]

I actually rather liked Odette in the first movie because she was smart and did stand up for herself. It feels like she had a more active role in the first movie when she was placed under a curse which made things a lot more limited for her.

[@SuperCodywebb]

One word: Flanderization

[@graceamodeo1587]

Writers: so Disney's latest trope is the twist villain, so I think we should do that. We also should think of the subject for the inspirational song. I saw the book of Mormon the other day, and they did a song about manning up. Hey that's a good idea!

[@carsfan1995]

They kind of stopped doing that after Incredibles 2.

[@graceamodeo1587]

Still I'm sure these writers are behind the times.

[@carsfan1995]

Grace Amodeo Yeah I think this movie came out in 2018. If you want to blame the person behind the Twist Villain that Disney did than its probably not a coincidence that the trend stopped after he left. Yes, the Surprised Disney Villain trend of the 2010s was thanks to John Lasseter. I remember when watching the Cars 2 commentary that he and writers worked backwards in setting up the twist villain and Lasseter seems really proud of it that he had that four Wreck It Ralph (2012), Frozen (2013), Big Hero 6 (2014), Zootopia (2016), Moana (2016), Coco (2017), and Incredibles 2 (2018). I remember people were speculating who the surprise villain would be for Wreck It Ralph 2 and how surprised they were when there wasn't one.

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

@@carsfan1995 It doesn’t surprise me, given two of the earlier Pixar movies ( _Toy Story 2_ and _Monsters, Inc._ ) also had twist villains. And I *guess* the first _Incredibles_ technically had one as well, but he was revealed more at the halfway point of the movie.

[@morganyoung3557]

So basically they took one of the tropes that even Disney has a hard time pulling off since I would say that one of the only few times that I would say that they really pulled off the twist villain was in Coco.

People really underestimate just how far Richard Rich fell from grace after making things like The Fox & The Hound. I think the problem with his later films might be him being given too much creative control. I can't say that for sure, but when you compare his more well-known films to his later works, the quality seems to drastically deteriorate over time. It's honestly depressing because he has potential and he's just... Not using it right anymore? Idk

So around 40:54 the scene was basically. Derek being stuck on a plattform, Nikolai states that he is lucky to be alive. Derek corrects him and says that it was due to his friends he survived. Which with the chandelier sure, he was pushed out of the way but the trap in the sewers was quite literally only him opening the gate to the trap so to speak which means: So at best one occasion had with friendship to do and the other was just pure idiocy/luck.

All these 3D sequels are so fucked up that I no longer resent Richard Rich. He is a crazy genius who makes movies unique in their insanity, and I look forward to each new episode. I love this shit unironically, it's so hilarious.

Bobsheaux: "Why do they keep calling that thing an "arts", plural?" Also Bobsheaux: "Disney alumni Richard Rich"

[@Bobsheaux]

...Yes? That glowy ball is a singular object, so it's weird calling it something pluralized, and Richard Rich began his animation career at Disney.

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

@@Bobsheaux The term “alumni” is plural, and the singular term is “alumnus”.

Wait, so... if the ghost of a living being touches something real, nothing happens. But if the "ghost" of an inanimate object (how does that even work anyway?) touches something real, it turns the real thing into a ghost thing??? My brain hurts

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

But isn't the Ghost Hunters parody FUNNY?? Did you life? Does it not entertain you?

[@melissalayson7275]

None of the fictional stories in movies and books I've seen or read ever said that if a ghost touches something real and living, that the something real and living also turns into ghost too. I completely agree with Bob that Richard Rich is an idiot and completely pulled that idea out of his ass.

Okay. I admit when I was a kid, I came up with silly ideas for Fox & The Hound sequels. The least embarrassing is probably the one about one thing leads to another, Chief & Tod are lost & need to find their way back, & haft to work together. At the same time, Vixy & Copper decide to work together to find them, along with the humans & birds giving supporting roles. The one that's most embarrassing is the one about them dealing with the Carnotaurus from Disney's Dinosaur. Why? Because I was a silly kid. But after finding out Fox & The Hound was directed by the same guy who worked on all these Swan Princess sequels, as well as those Alpha & Omega movies, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he'd actually made either of those real movies.

I know this franchise is supposed to be a fairy tale and all, but why mix it with crazy stuff like ghosts, steampunk technology, a courtroom case, and 'selfies'? Anyone who can come with an answer that's not money will get a cookie.

[@Alejandroigarabide]

Maybe they're imitating Shrek? I know, the franchise started as a normal fairytale musical, but these obvious cashgrabs imitate whatever was popular 10 years ago.

[@gracekim1998]

I mean the ‘selfies’ are paintings so portraits and um pretty sure portraits were a thing in that time period

Creepy old king dude is... painting selfies? He is a few centuries before his age. Also, that cat can talk and is a good guy now? Last movie didn't he work with the villain's ghost? Also, when did the squirrel guy die? Maybe there was a review I missed? Your last Swan Princess review I saw was Royally Undercover.

[@scottgaultney]

If you saw the Royally Undercover review (provided he mentioned it, as I'm not a patreon but did watch another review video of it), then you'd know that No. 9 (Jasper) went good in that movie when he's revealed to be the missing pet of the old king dude. And the squirrel guy died in A Royal Family Tale where Alise was introduced, which is the fifth movie in this franchise. That puts it after Christmas where the cat worked with Rothbart's ghost to destroy Christmas but before Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today where Alise became a pirate with Rodgers to escape Queen Uberta's Princess Boot Camp and yoga pants, then got shipwrecked on the Bog's island where Rodgers hosted a parody of Hell's Kitchen that involved him teaching the Bogs how to cook him. You know, when you say write it out, this franchise seems kind of stupid.

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

@@scottgaultney I saw it - I am a patron of Bob - but I totally forgot that happened at the end... I somehow thought the Christmas one was the last one. I also forgot this bog king knockoff guy died and became a ghost

[@ilikecurry2345]

Come to think of it, thought he isn't in the movies Royal Family Tale and onward, I have to make this observation about Rothbart. He looks like if you took Dr. Wily, dyed his hair ginger, and dressed him up in medieval royal garb.

[@jenneacubero1036]

With names like “Odette” and “Alise”, I think this franchise should at least be part of France. Anyway, why Richard Rich? Why? You’re buddies with Don Bluth for crying out loud! Not to mention we’re better works than this; “Animated Stories From The Bible”, “Animated Stories From The New Testament”, and “Animated Hero Classics”. Granted those series were watered down versions of the real things, but there was heart. Same thing with “Small One”.
