 The Trumpet of the Swan
comment
A 1970 children's novel written by E. B. White.One day on a Canadian lake, a cob (male swan) and a pen (female swan) are rescued from a fox by a young boy named Sam Beaver. Sam is allowed to watch the swans' cygnets hatch, and he discovers that one of them is mute; instead of chirping to greet him, the mute cygnet pulls on Sam's shoelace. Awww. Thus begins an Odd Friendship between swan and boy.The story focuses on the swan, named Louis, and his efforts to overcome his handicap. Sam takes Louis to school so the bird can learn to read and write, and the swan's father steals a brass trumpet to give his son a voice. Feeling guilty over the theft, Louis leaves home to earn enough money to pay for the trumpet. Adventures are had by all.In 2001, an animated film adaptation was released by Richard Rich (the director of The Swan Princess).Compare to White's more famous novel, Charlotte's Web.

comment
Funny Animal Anatomy: The book doesn't exactly say how Louis, who has no lips, can play a trumpet (though it is at least mentioned that it takes him a while to figure out for himself). It's Hand Waved as saying he uses his tongue and the softer parts of the bill. Swan tongues can be curled and have rough edges, though whether it could actually be curled enough to form a seal on the mouthpiece is probably something best not thought about too closely.

Feather Fingers: Played straight in the film adaptation, but averted in the novel, where Louis uses his foot instead. At one point he even asks Sam to cut the webbing between his toes so he can use the valves more easily — the narrative stresses that this is painless, though it does make his swimming stroke a bit weaker.

Meaningful Name: Louis plays a trumpet, like a certain other jazz musician. This is lampshaded in the book, when a boy says he'll name him Louis after said musician, only for the swan to write on his chalkboard "That actually is my name." Musical Theme Naming / Named After Somebody Famous: His sisters in the film, Ella and Billie, also share names with musicians: Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, respectively.

Disney Death: Louis and his dad fly to the music store to pay for the stolen trumpet and smashed window. Unfortunately, the store owner thinks they're back to steal again and shoots at Louie's dad, who falls the ground. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, the music owner instantly regrets what he just did. Fortunately, the swan was only stunned from shock. The music store owner then decides to use the money to not only pay for the trumpet and the damages to his shop, but also to preserve all Trumpeter Swans.

Adaptational Nice Guy: In the novel, Serena doesn't interact with Louis because of his disability (Louis's mother points out that his muteness means he can't communicate in the usual way and of course Serena can't read), and Louis wins her over simply by revealing that he can play the trumpet. In the film, Serena is much more sympathetic to Louis and a jerkass rival named Boyd is added instead.

Genius Bruiser: Not only is Louis pretty smart for an animal (being able to read and write English and learn to play the trumpet without assistance), but he has the strength of a trumpeter swan (which, true to life, can hit with the force of a baseball bat and give a nasty bite besides). Louis doesn't hesitate to use every natural weapon at his disposal to defend Serena from the Philadelphia zookeepers (who want to amputate part of her wing and render her permanently flightless).

Shout-Out: Louis's name is a reference to one of the most famous human trumpet players, Louis Armstrong. The film creates a case of musical Family Theme Naming by calling Louis's sisters Ella, after Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie, after Billie Holiday. In the film, there are twin blonde pens who fawn over Boyd much like the Bimbettes fawn over Gaston.

And when Louis rightfully earns Serena's love, Boyd spites him by throwing his trumpet in the water.

Have a Gay Old Time: Allow yourself a free snicker when Serena hears Louis's trumpet and thinks "What a gay bird!" A somewhat more innocent example happens in-universe.
