[@ashleynichole8687]

My grandpa (and father figure) worked for the animation company who made the Swan Princess. We lived with my grandparents, and there was movie/studio memorabilia all over their house. He was the reason I developed a passion for art. When I was 10, he was diagnosed with early onset dementia, and by the time I was 12, he had forgotten who I was. He passed away when I was 18. I pinned a replica of Odette’s locket on my wedding bouquet with his picture in it, and danced to an instrumental version of “Far Longer Than Forever” at the reception. This movie is so special to me, I hope it’s never forgotten.

[@gage7575]

Fixing this plot would have been so easy. All you would have to change is the ending, and have the prince recognize Odette when she's in her swan form by noticing a mannerism of hers that he really likes, like her laugh or something. The story would be resolved by the prince seeing beyond Odette's physical appearance and realize what else he loves about her. Do that and add some subtext about the prince wanting to catch this great beast as a "trophy" (mirroring how he views Odette as little more than a pretty trophy) and you got yourself some solid character development.

[@BabyGirlTiny]

Nah, that doesn’t fix the film. First you have to specify the curse, because it makes no sense that dereks vow of everlasting love has to be said to odette, even if the sentiment is for the original odette. Then you have to give odette a reason to love Derek as well, which the film never recognizes. The film actually never brings up the fact that they knew each other as kids, for some reason so all you have to do is bring that up.

[@gage7575]

@@BabyGirlTiny Yeah, those things are definitely necessary as well. It's strange, none of these are huge structural changes to have to make, but would drastically improve how cohesive the film is. Cuz as it stands now, the film is really hard to follow

[@gage7575]

The prince loving her only for her beauty followed by the princess turning into a swan... That feels like a very obvious setup for a payoff that they don't even attempt to make happen

[@BabyGirlTiny]

@@gage7575 it is odd how they built up oddette and Derek but then failed to pay it off. All the while they never built up the curse, but breaking it is the biggest payoff in the entire film. It also doent make sense why rathbart would do something that would kill Odette, when the point was to Marry her? That didn't make any sense.

Funnily enough, there is historical precedent for aristocrats placing arranged-marriage children together as playmates in the hopes that they'll get along and actually have happy marriages in the future.

I still have the dolls. 💖 I gave up on Derek when he tried to shoot Odette as a swan. I mean, even if that was indeed the great animal, he would have killed the beast without even knowing where it’s been keeping her so he would have been just as lost as before.. 😑😑 As for Odette, I’m sure she knew that Derek was immature but still loved her. In her song she even says “You and and I are meant to be.” so she knew that they were soulmates and that he would eventually grow up. Finally, the reason Rothbart decided to kill Odette was because he knew that she would never marry him at that point. He thought that she would eventually move on and forget Derek (as she’s been gone for a year) but the fact that he caught them together proved that she would always love Derek so he stopped caring about marrying her and just decided to get rid of her. It’s better explained in the ballet or the anime version.

@@fernandaespinola8183 Although he never said anything about her looks at any point. I mean, it's not unbelievable that an evil sorcerer would want a young, attractive wife, but he only ever mentions that he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life fighting to keep the throne.

Derek is the Angriest Animated Prince Ive ever seen, the first three movies is like his decent into madness. I could see a dark fourth one where Derek is trying to Destroy all magic.

“What else is there?” Chilled me to the bone as a little girl and it really... I don’t know, it made it click that guys really could objectify someone like that, not necessarily sexually at all, but just this thing that doesn’t have the same range of emotions and abilities to grow and change or dream. It freaked me OUT. I also do love their song, maybe my Favorite tied with Let Me Be Your Wings from Thumbalina. 😅

[@likiqueen]

Ok, maybe you should be my best friend. Lol. Swan Princess and Thumbelina were my 2 favorite movies as a child

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

Malika Dickson Bring on the friendom, lol! I actually realized my fiancé was a contender when we discussed Don Bluth movies for about two hours (Anastasia was also way up there, Feivel Goes West, The Land Before Time) and really had way more fun with it than you’d expect. 😅 They’re awesome movies. 😁

[@lonebattledroid4474]

The first musical number is the best part of the whole movie

[@lellie3082]

Can we all just agree that Speed the turtle is the best character, ultimate madlad

[@matthewhedrichjr.5445]

To me it’s the butler Lord Rogers who is hands down the best character of this movie and the biggest reason why Swan Princess is ten times better than Sleeping Beauty

[@shaddieize]

"If you steal something you spend your whole life fighting to keep it" is my favourite quote from the movie

[@rowanhoyt4878]

I always assumed Rothbard originally was going to just take over the kingdom, but fell in love with Odette when he saw her. When she rejected him he wanted to hurt her and went back to the original plan of hostile kingdom takeover.

[@Moeller750]

Thanks for reminding me why I was so obsessed with this movie as a kid. The older I got, the more annoying the plot and the blandness of Odette and Derek got, but they were never really the reason why I watched movie anyway. The songs, the animation and the voice actors are genuinely fantastic. In the Danish version they actually cast a popular comedy trio as the animal sidekicks, and their chemistry just worked SO well... Heck, I'm gonna go rewatch Swan Princess right now!

[@kenthuang436]

All I got from this movie was that proclaiming your love to someone while saying their name while looking at someone who happens to look like the person you love then that automatically means you love the lookalike. So if you are in a relationship with an identical twin or triplet, you’d better make sure you are looking at the right one when you say “I love you!”

[@scarlett19b]

Well i've met a guy who's a deadringer for my EX BF a true doppelganger so to speak and although his character is a bit different and his voice doesn't sound the same as his.. I still find him very attractive.. as in "relationship material" attractive❗️💁🏽

[@matthewhedrichjr.5445]

Odette was better than Aurora anyway because we get to see more development and emotional struggles unlike Aurora who is not aware that she was a cursed to die in her 16th birthday

[@Maarabeth]

I am the first one to say that I am a HUGE Disney fan, but I dare to say that as a child, THIS was my favorite animated movie. I watched this tape SO many times, and even had the Odette and Derek dolls that I played with maybe more than my regular Barbies. I wish more people knew about this movie, or that it was on a major steaming service, because after watching this I really would like to watch this from start to finish.

[@y2ktora73]

I ain’t never forget this movie, I watched it about 1000 times as a kid cuz I didn’t had that much movies, this will always stay in my head.

[@ambrite]

I was obsessed with this film. Odette became my favourite name, swan was my favourite animal, I started going for the Swans football team. I didn't understand why she didn't want to be a swan and be able to FLY.

[@chloevann8348]

bro yes. i even have the odette barbie

[@jacksparrowismydaddy]

maybe he's like a vampire, where they can't enter a house without permission, Rothbart can't marry her without consent. maybe all his spells will fail or something.

[@luminoustorus548]

love seems to be one of those things there are laws around that magic can’t truly break, just ask the genie from Aladdin

You've convinced me. I want a stage musical where everything is hammed up and breaks the 4th wall constantly. Like being a self aware Disney rip-off would create a good time for all.

that opening song from swan princess is one of my gulty pleasure comebacks on youtube for over a decade

People still upload movies and shows in parts. I remember my school's strategy to solve bullying was just to force me to hang out with my bullies, which just backfired terribly.

[@heyimexhausted]

this movie and Anastasia were HUGE parts of my childhood. I really didn't vibe with the disney renaissance movies as much as these and then the 2000s came and disney just made movies with the same wacky comedy and feel as these and like. i am the way i am because of these movies. my humor, my attraction to sorta annoying dark haired men, my love of cocky villain songs. just. yes.

I'm from Canada, an only child with parents who liked collecting movies. I had about 750 disney movies counted by the time I was 16....all old cassettes and useless now lol!

I was born 1993, so this movie then would have been still relevant by the time I was old enough to comprehend it....things moved much slower back then lol!

"You could make this an adaptation for the stage"... when it's based originally on a ballet performed on a stage named Swan Lake... But I absolutely loved this movie as a kid! I totally agree about the character development. Rothbart was fabulous though, one of the most hilarious villains while still being 'serious' XD

My nitpicks come in different ways. Like what happened to derek's dad. Why were both monarchs full grey with children in single digits? Why didn't odette ever reason in her mind that she never showed derek a good side to herself and it's obvious he would only respond to looks first. Just... I have a lot. But I still adore this movie
