William and Uberta put their plan into action. Unfortunately, this fails as Derek and Odette hate each other as children and later as teenagers, but when they reach adulthood, they do fall in love. However, Derek can't think of anything besides Odette's beauty that he loves her for, causing her to reject him, and she and her father leave disappointed. On their journey home, they are ambushed by Rothbart, who got his powers back and transforms into a \"Great Animal\", kidnapping Odette and fatally injuring William. Derek arrives on the scene and the dying William tells him about the Great Animal (\"It's not what it seems\"), and that Odette is gone. After searching and finding no sign of Odette, the entire kingdom assumes that she is dead. Uberta tries to encourage her son to find another princess, but Derek is determined to find Odette, believing that she is still alive somewhere.
Derek and his best friend Bromley practice hunting every day in preparation to face the Great Animal, with help from Uberta's valet, Lord Rogers. Elsewhere, Rothbart is keeping Odette captive at the mysterious Swan Lake. After she refuses to marry him, he has cast a powerful spell that turns Odette into a swan during the day, while she can temporarily return to her true form at night if she stands on the lake when the moonlight touches it. During her captivity, she befriends a turtle named Speed, a French frog named Jean-Bob, who claims to be a prince, and an Irish puffin named Lieutenant Puffin.
Puffin and Odette (in her swan form) fly together to find Derek. By chance, they stumble upon Derek in the woods as he is searching for the Great Animal. Derek mistakes Odette for the Great Animal (having deduced that the creature is a shapeshifter) and tries to kill her. The ensuing chase leads Derek to Swan Lake, where he witnesses Odette reverting to a human when the moon rises. The two share a loving reunion, and Odette tells Derek that to break the spell, he must make a vow of everlasting love and \"prove it to the world\". Derek invites Odette to the ball at the castle the following night, hoping to declare to the world of his love for her. After Derek leaves however, Rothbart arrives, having heard the whole conversation, and tells Odette that she will never make it to the ball, for there will be \"no moon\" on that night. To make matters worse, Rothbart transforms his cheerful hag sidekick, Bridget, into a doppelgänger Odette, so as to fool Derek to make his vow to the wrong woman, which will kill the real Odette. On the night of the ball, Rothbart imprisons Odette (in swan form) in the dungeon of his castle, along with Bromley, whom he had found in the woods the other night, while the disguised Bridget arrives at the ball and dances with Derek, who is unaware of her true identity.
Afterwards, Derek tearfully confesses his love to Odette, realizing that it's the person Odette has become that he loves about her, and she comes back to life; the spell on her is broken by Derek's love. Derek and Odette get married and they, along with Rogers, Bromley, Uberta, King William's servants, and the animals move into Rothbart's former castle. Meanwhile, Bridget redeems herself and falls in love with Uberta's lackey, Sir Chamberlain, Puffin becomes the general of an army of swans, Odette kisses Jean-Bob who goes into convulsions but does not turn into a prince, and Odette and Derek live happily ever after.
\"The Swan Princess\" reveals itself as a film of our politically correct times in an early scene, where a prince makes the mistake of telling a princess she is \"beautiful.\" Is that all she asks. What else am I The prince is at a loss for words: \"What else is there\" And so the princess huffily marches out of his life, and into all sorts of dire predicaments, simply because the prince - whom she has known since childhood - could not think to say that she was also clever.
This is, I think, progress; beauty has long been the only attribute of princesses in fairy tales, aside from a certain vapid wistfulness. And Princess Odette, the heroine of Richard Rich's full-length animated cartoon, is a smart young lady, although not smart enough to stay away from the magical spells of the evil Rothbart, who desires her father's kingdom and hopes to win it through fraud, by stealing her hand in marriage. His spell turns her into a swan, who can only be seen as a princess when the moon is upon the lake.
From the director of \"The Fox And The Hound\" comes THE SWAN PRINCESS, a magical, musical animated adventure based on the classic fairy tale \"Swan Lake\" that captured the hearts of audiences around the world! The winner of the Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence and the Parents' Choice Award, it's the heartwarming story of the beautiful princess Odette, who 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. Universally cheered and revered, THE SWAN PRINCESS is bursting with color, dazzling animation, beautiful music and features the vocal talents of Jack Palance, John Cleese, Steven Wright and Sandy Duncan! It's an exciting adventure you'll want to relive again and again!
Elsewhere, Rothbart is keeping Odette at his castle lair at Swan Lake. He has cast a spell that turns Odette into a swan during the day, and she is able to temporarily turn human at night if she is on the lake under moonlight. Every night Rothbart asks Odette to marry him so he can rule William's kingdom, but she refuses. During her captivity, she befriends a turtle named Speed, a French frog named Jean-Bob, who dreams of being human and thinks he's a prince, and Puffin, an Irish puffin.
After obtaining a map from Rothbart's castle while avoiding his hag sidekick Bridget, Puffin and Odette, in her swan form, fly together to find Derek. By chance they stumble upon Derek in the woods, for he is searching for the Great Animal. Derek mistakes Odette for the Great Animal and tries to kill her. The ensuing chase leads Derek to Swan Lake, where he witnesses Odette's change from swan to human when the moon rises. The two share a loving reunion, and Odette explains that the spell can only be broken by a vow of everlasting love. Derek invites Odette to his mother's ball the following night, hoping to declare to the world of his love for her. Derek leaves just as Rothbart arrives. The enchanter has heard the whole conversation and imprisons Odette as a swan in the castle dungeon, along with Bromley whom he had found in the woods. Furthermore, because there is a new moon on the night of the ball, Odette remains a swan that night.
Fearing that Derek's vow would ruin his plans, Rothbart sends Bridget to the ball disguised as Odette. Odette's friends free her from the dungeon and she flies to Uberta's castle, but she is unable to warn Derek in time. Derek makes the vow of everlasting love to the wrong girl, which causes the spell to start killing Odette. Upon realizing his mistake, Derek races after Odette back to Swan Lake, where Odette transforms back into a princess just before she dies in Derek's arms. A furious Derek confronts Rothbart, ordering him to revive Odette. Rothbart transforms into the Great Animal. A battle ensues with Rothbart overpowering Derek. Odette's animal friends return Derek's bow to him, and Bromley, who has escaped the dungeon, provides Derek with a single arrow. Derek catches and fires the arrow into Rothbart's heart, destroying him.
This charming animated children's movie was developed about a princess who didn't come from a Disney fairy tale but instead from one of the most popular ballets of all time, the 1875 Swan Lake ballet. Of course, the story was changed from the original ballet dance, and the characters were further developed, with a few new ones thrown in for good measure. From Princess Odette to Jean-Bob the frog, these versions of the traditional Swan Princess and her friends are unforgettable.
He is a little too obsessive about that kiss and that can be a bit off-putting for viewers, especially when the princess herself tries to nicely and repeatedly deny him. His arrogance does get in the way at times but ultimately he always shows himself to be a friend and he will do anything in his power to save Odette's life, even if it means risking his own.
Princess Odette is unmistakably the most liked character in the movie. Viewers get to see her grow up in stages from a new-born to a beautiful woman. She knows her self-worth, she is a kind friend, and she always keeps her heart true to Prince Derek. Even during her curse that transforms her into a swan, she tries her best to stay optimistic and is brave enough to risk her life to expose herself to Prince Derek. There aren't any negative attributes that can be easily called to mind and that makes Odette the most liked on the list.
\"And the very first day we were working on it, I had this image of a swan on a lake and asked myself, `What animals could be her friends' And I came up with this little turtle and a frog sitting on its shell. And then we got John Cleese and Steven Wright and they really gave the characters life.\"
Deadpan standup comic Wright is the voice of \"Speed,\" an ironic name for the slow-moving turtle. Cleese affects a phony French accent for the pompous frog, Jean-Bob, who isn't really French and imagines that he's an enchanted prince, waiting for that kiss from a princess that will make him human.
\"We really tried desperately to make a prince and a princess story that would portray them as equals. Most stories are told from one point of view or another, and basically `The Swan Princess' is the story of Derek. But we tried really hard to make the Odette character his equal. Not stronger, but equal. I hope we've achieved that.\"
Also living by the lake there was a young prince named Siegfried. It is his 21st birthday. As his friends celebrate, his mother, the Queen arrives with six princesses. The Queen suggests he pick one of the princesses to marry. Soon he finds himself attracted to the princess, Odette. As the party ends, all depart except Prince Siegfried and Princess Odette who share a moment before Prince Siegfried is summoned to go hunting with his court men. 59ce067264
