Trivia:

Derek's last solo voiceover thought in the song "This is My Idea", "[Odette] started out as such an ugly duckling, who somehow suddenly became a swan", foreshadows the transformation placed on Odette by Rothbart.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Throughout the whole movie, whenever we see a large crowd - the public in the opening scene with baby Odette, the audience in the ball when Prince Derek messes it up, the crowd at the harbor when teen princess Odette uses the sling shot on Derek and so on - the characters are completely still, as a sign that the only animated characters in the film are the ones in the front.

Quotes:

Rogers:What else is there? She says, "Is beauty all that matters?", and you say, "What else is there?"!
Prince Derek:It was dumb. I know!
Rogers:You should write a book: "How to Offend Women in Five Syllables or Less".

This movie is so worth watching!

Out of the Richard Rich animations, this is definitely the best. Here's why. I was hugely disappointed in the King and I, and Black Cauldron failed on character development. Swan Princess is an excellent movie, that is much better than the above titles. The weakest character was Derek, he was a bit of a drip, whereas Odette is a feisty and beautiful character, and I actually loved her hair. The voice cast is highly commendable- Jack Palance came alive with the character of Lord Rothbart, who is a great villain and John Clesse is sidesplittingly funny as Jean Bob. There are some really funny lines "You should write a book...How to offend women in 5 syllables or less."(Jean Bob and Rodgers get the best of them) Can I also say, that this is one of the few animations that makes excellent use of the evil-sorcerer-back-for-revenge formula? The animation is actually not as bad as most people say, a bit deflated at times, but very nice mostly and the songs are sweet and memorable especially Far Longer Than Forever. I also absolutely loved the incidental music, and the ending is satisfying. Other than that, it is so worth watching! 8/10. Bethany Cox
