Don't Believe the Hype

Admirable film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Honestly I have never seen in film during the year I was born being the worst! I haven't seen this film today and when I just seen it today, I just was heavily disappointed! The beginning just had a terrible opening Odette and Prince Derek were cheesing each other off from childhood to adulthood. I mean c'mon it's suppose to be a fairytale, not a stupid teenage film! Did they not think of the children viewers at all?I also found that one of the kid actors voices were just awful, they didn't sound like their own normal human voice, it sounded more like a badly synchronised robot voice. I don't know why this film won a Golden Globe because this film is awful and I wouldn't show this to kids, it is such a terrible movie!

The Swan Princess is a 1994 American animated musical fantasy film based on the ballet "Swan Lake". Starring the voice talents of Matthew Broderick, Tony Jay, Eddie Murphy, and Sandy Duncan, the film is directed by a former Disney animation director, Richard Rich, with a music score by Lex De Azevedo and Alan Menken. It was released theatrically on November 18, 1994 where it received generally mixed reviews by critics and was a box office bomb. The film was followed by four direct-to-video sequels: The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain (1997), The Swan Princess: The Mystery of the Enchanted Kingdom (1998), The Swan Princess Christmas (2012), and The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale (2014).

I remember seeing the poster to this movie in a supermarket way before the release in our country.This is a cartoon about a girl that must be freed from her transformation spell as a swan.Here you have it a classic fairytale.The animation is hand drawn.If you want to take a break from modern all star CGI movies see this.Now that we are looking back at the long string of hand drawn movies of the 1990's.There was Anastasia, a long row of direct to sequels and movies like this.The movie is having unforgettable, and upbeat songs.From a saving the day song to a jazz like villain song.The monster that must be defeated, a happy ending and literary a long row of princesses.It's not anything serious like Branagh's Hamlet of course, but some light fun.Go look for it at the flea markets.10/10

I have seen so many animated movies from different studios and I must say I'm a huge fan of this genre. But this is obviously the worst I've ever seen. Poor script and visual directing, awful sound effect and character voicing, no artistic elements, and not to mention terrible music... This movie came out in 1994 and I can see that at that time Disney was at the top of the animated film market and was the only studio to have had a long history of making this type of film, while others were just beginning, this may partly explain why New Line Cinema did a terrible job on this movie. But seriously, Richard Rich, the director, had had directed a few movies for Disney before and they're good ones, not this bad!I gave this movie 3 stars out of 10 because that's all I think it deserves.
