The Swan Princess (Special Edition) Reviews
two thumbs up!
I LOVE this movie, and I always have. I remember when I was little and I loved all the singing and magic, and my FAVORITE part was the Princesses on Parade scene- I loved watching the women dance around in their pretty, sparkly dresses. I also remember how much I enjoyed singing along with the No Fear song.
And now I'm 16 yrs. old and my sister found this tape in the basement and I just about died laughing after not having watched it for so long, especially at the French frog, Jean-Bob! (Speed the turtle's pretty sweet, too)
My sisters (ages 3 & 4) also really enjoy the movie and they love to sing along and dance, especially to For Longer Than Forever. (And I've even caught my 12-yr.-old brother watching this movie when he thought no one was looking)
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this movie, it's EXTREMELY entertaining for any age and it never gets old.
One of my all-time favorites
I'd just like to say that, as a 16 year old, I STILL sit down and watch this movie. As do all of my freinds -we're getting ready to go off to college and wondering how in the world we'll afford DVD players to watch this movie.
The real reason I'm reviewing is because there's a particular review that totally bashes this movie that rather infuriated me. I would like to state here and now that this is a children's movie, and therefore of course it has holes in it. But I've noticed that a lot of things in real life have holes in them as well; nothing is perfect. And I'm also appalled that a mother who watched this movie through to make sure it was all right for her kids even suggested that the evil villain kill Odette and marry her double. Why didn't the villain of Barbie's Swan Lake just kill the Prince instead of bothering to leave him alive? That whole CHILDREN'S MOVIE thing comes to mind...
Personally, I love just about every song in this movie. I find all the characters fun to watch, and no matter how many times I see the film I always forget that Derek's friend gets lost in the forest... I also find it quite charming that for once, a princess doesn't fall in love with the prince IN 10 SECONDS! Oh my gosh, WHAT a concept that Derek and Odette have known each other for YEARS instead of MINUTES and therefore have an actual UNDERSTANDING between one another instead of love based on appearances. I also like that Odette, for all that she loves Derek, originally protests marrying him because he says he loves her only for her beauty. Do I hear a message being sent to audiences? That looks aren't all that matter? Why, yes! And do I hear Derek telling Odette that he loves her "for her kindness and her courage" at the end when he's finally able to put it into words? Yes, those are his exact words.
I have seen the Barbie version of Swan Lake, and while it is cute and charming in its own right, I found the Swan Princess much more memorable. And what The Princess and the Pauper had to do with this movie I'm unsure...
