Storyline

As children, Prince Derek and Princess Odette are forced to spend their summers together by their widowed parents, who hope that the two will eventually fall in love and marry, so that the kingdoms of the two will be united. As children and adolescents, Derek and Odette can't stand each other, but as young adults they begin to see each other in a different light and fall in love with each other. But one night things take a bad turn when Derek unintentionally offends Odette, who then refuses to marry him if he can't prove that he loves her for who she is and not just her beauty. Odette and her father are then attacked by Lord Rothbart, a vengeful sorcerer who was cast out of William's kingdom when he plotted against the king. In the form of a beast, Rothbart mortally wounds William, and kidnaps Odette then places her under a spell. Now it is up to Derek to rescue Odette by showing his undying love. But, will he be in time? Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Goofs

When Bromley is getting prepared to do the "catch and shoot", we see Lord Rogers tie an apple to Bromley's head while he is in full armor. He complains, Rogers apologizes and then he places a very solid looking helmet on Bromley's head. The next scene shows Bromley wearing the helmet with the apple still on top of it, having strangely passed through the metal. See more »

Another underrated childhood favorite directed by Richard Rich
4 July 2011 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

Here is another childhood favorite, and it still is now that I am 26 years old. In this underrated film directed by Richard Rich retells the Swan Lake story with a twist here and there - no need for a full description for those who had heard of the film.

I love the princess Odette. And like I said: this might seem strange to you guys, but I put her on a list I have made of my favorite movie princesses - animated or live action. And I love 4 out the songs from the film: "This Is My Idea," "Far Longer Than Forever," "No Fear,"and... "Princesses on Parade." So overall, I loved this film and it will always been one of my favorite animated films. One more thing I would like say: I hope Richard, who had directed this film and the "Animated Stories from the Bible" series, would directed more films - not films like The Scarecrow, it was kind of on a 8 out 10 scale.
