The Swan Princess	comment	Ex-Disney animation director Richard Rich made this animated feature in 1994, which adapts the plot (though not the music) of the ballet Swan Lake.Odette and Derek are betrothed royalty of neighboring kingdoms, though it isn't until they're grown that they fall in love. Too bad that first, Derek doesn't know what he loves about her besides her beauty, which upsets her, and second, the evil Rothbart â€” banished from her kingdom years ago for practicing the "Forbidden Arts" â€” kidnaps her.When she refuses to marry Rothbart and make him king, he curses her to become a swan during daylight hours and moonless nights. The remorseful Derek seeks and finds her, but with Rothbart staying one step ahead of the lovers â€” and One-Winged Angel, too â€” invoking the Curse Escape Clause is not easy, even with Talking Animal friends helping them out.Distributed by New Line Cinema, the film wasn't a blockbuster, falling victim to an aggressively-marketed re-release of a certain Disney-produced juggernaut released earlier that year. However, it did exceptionally well when it was released on home video, so much so that it spawned two direct-to-video sequels in the late '90s, both featuring an almost entirely different voice cast (save for Steve Vinovich as Puffin, James Arrington as Chamberlain and Michelle Nicastro as Odette herself), although original composer and songwriter Lex de Azevedo nonetheless returned for both films. After a 14-year hiatus, a new series of sequels began production, this time being made in CGI instead of 2D animation. Fuelled by Richard Rich's liking for the characters, eleven sequels currently exist overall: The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain (1997) The Swan Princess: The Mystery of the Enchanted Kingdom (1998) The Swan Princess Christmas (2012) The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale (2014) The Swan Princess: Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today (2016) The Swan Princess: Royally Undercover (2017) The Swan Princess: A Royal Myztery (2018) The Swan Princess: Kingdom of Music (2019) The Swan Princess: A Royal Wedding (2020) The Swan Princess: A Fairytale is Born (2023) The Swan Princess: Far Longer Than Forever (2023)Odette, Derek, and their friends are pitted against such foes as old acquaintances of Rothbart, his ghost, and even The Forbidden Arts themselves in the first four sequels. A Royal Family Tale grants the couple an adopted daughter, Alise, who becomes the protagonist in Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today and Royally Undercover. The final films, A Fairytale Is Born and Far Longer Than Forever, officially close out the series after almost 30 years.And up through the fourth installment, poor Odette keeps getting turned into a swan and back again the whole way. This vanishes in the remaining eight films, indicating that, through the series' unusual longevity, its title has long been rendered The Artifact.Exactly 25 years after The Swan Princess premiered in theaters, the franchise's YouTube channel pitched a possible Live-Action Adaptation of the first movie.

As a result, Uberta misinterprets the painting as an olive branch from Wixom, and Wixom - having realized neither of them have ever benefited from their years of mutual animosity - simply goes along with it, allowing them to finally put an end to their decades-long rivalry.

The Swan Princess / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer of Swan Princess 3 shows Rogers falling from a spatial height towards the Earth, implying that something of epic proportion will happen. Sadly, it's just a part of a Disney Acid Sequence. One trailer for the original movie states that Odette is kidnapped "right before (her and Derek's) wedding", when in the movie their engagement is cancelled.

In the second and third movies, however, the animals can all talk freely to anyone.

The Swan Princess / int_259d5879	type	Anachronism Stew
The Swan Princess / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: The films are supposed to take place (possibly) in Medieval England during the Middle Ages, but features many references and objects that wouldn't have existed until much later. Prince Derek has an air force, although it consists of birds. Sir Rothbart in boxing clothes during his Villain Song "No More Mr. Nice Guy", and Sir Clavius playing a (magical, understandably) electric guitar and a keyboard. Zelda knows who Cruella and The Wicked Witch of the West are when their respective books were not published until 1956 and 1900 respectively. The clothes: fashion styles range from the Dark Ages to the 1700's, to the 1980's. For example, Queen Ubertaâ€™s guards are shown wearing green tailcoats and trousers which didnâ€™t exist until the 1780â€™s. During the opening song, Derek and Odette are playing poker as teenagers, which didn't exist until sometime in the 1800's. Bromley and Odette both use slingshots (1839 at the very earliest), and Clavius flies a hot air balloon (1782). After Derek's "What else is there?" Rogers imitates a game show's losing buzzer. The Swan Princess Christmas portrays numerous Christmas traditions and themes that wouldn't exist until the 1840s or later, and Rogers invents practical light-bulbs (developed around 1879) to decorate a Christmas tree with! In the second movie, Uberta receives a modern-style greeting card, which wouldn't be invented until the 1850s. The entirety of The Swan Princess: Royally Undercover is a Homage to James Bond, which was created in 1953, and the technology they use resembles modern-day equipment.

The Swan Princess / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
The Swan Princess / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: When Bridget goes to Derek's ball disguised as Odette, she's wearing a black dress to contrast with the real Odette's white one. This is directly taken from the original Swan Lake ballet, as Odile - Bridget's counterpart as an Odette imposter - also wears a black dress, and is often named the Black Swan because of it. Characters in the sequels refer to the lake outside Derek's and Odette's castle (originally Rothbart's) as Swan Lake, apparently named for everything that happened. In Kingdom Of Music, it's explained that Odette and Derek's story has spread by word of mouth throughout the various countries over the years, though certain details have been omitted or misinterpreted. The version of the story that Chen and Mei Li recall - where Derek first met Odette as a swan, but then couldn't find her and fell in love with another woman - is essentially the plot of the original ballet. When a younger Uberta learns that she's expecting a child in A Fairy Tale Is Born, one of the names she considers for her son is Sigfried, before she eventually settles on Derek. Sigfried was the name of the male lead - Derek's original counterpart - in the Swan Lake ballet.

Odette's initial rejection of Derek's idea to get married was because he was doing it just because she was beautiful and couldn't think of anything else he liked about her. It's not that her beauty was the problem, but Derek's shallowness. He eventually sees the kindness and courage (inner beauty) underneath it.

Starting with the fifth film, "The Swan Princess" is merely a title that Odette is given as part of an ancient prophecy, and she never transforms at all in either this film or the rest of the series. In addition, for the sixth, seventh and eighth films Odette and Derek are not the main protagonists at all with their adopted daughter Alise taking the central focus, though the couple would eventually return to the limelight in the remaining sequels afterwards.

The Swan Princess / int_4160410d	type	Damsel in Distress
The Swan Princess / int_4160410d	comment	Damsel in Distress: Odette. Justified in that the Curse Escape Clause for Rothbart's spell explicitly prevents her from breaking it on her own. However, this doesn't stop her from breaking into Rothbart's castle to steal a map, tracking Derek down and leading him to the lake so she can transform back and explain the curse and its escape clause to him, and later escaping Rothbart's dungeon and flying to Derek's castle to warn him about the impostor who's taken her place. In the second film, Odette does not play this role; instead, it was taken by Queen Uberta, who spends much of the movie in Claviusâ€™ clutches. Since she got captured by Clavius, this is what drove Odette and Derek throughout the second film in order to save her from Clavius.

The Swan Princess / int_42008602	type	Story Arc
The Swan Princess / int_42008602	comment	Story Arc: The franchise's various sequels can be loosely divided into several chapters, each with different villains and connected plot points. The first four instalments revolve around the heroes facing various forms of the Forbidden Arts, before the fifth film ends with the original source of this dark magic finally being destroyed for good. The sixth film has Alise and Rogers running afoul of the man-eating monsters of Bogg Island, while the seventh revolves around a conflict with the neighbouring kingdom of Boromeo. Though seemingly unrelated at first, both these plot lines converge and are ultimately resolved in the eighth film. The ninth and tenth instalments are about Derek and Odette meeting the royal family of the Cathay Empire, and helping Princess Mei Lei to marry her lover Chen. The final two films revolve around Derek and Odette being crowned the new rulers of Chamberg, exploring the main heroes' origin stories prior to the events of the original film, and finally resolving the long-speculated whereabouts of Derek's father and Odette's mother.

When Derek announces he plans to marry Odette and gives no reason besides her beauty, she calls the marriage off because she wasn't going to marry someone who named good looks as the only attractive thing about her. However, Derek then reveals in a later scene that he loved her before he noticed she was beautiful, but didn't know how to express that, and goes to great lengths to prove how he feels. Then in the sequels, Derek is repeatedly portrayed as wrong to the point where the theme of the third could be summed up as "listen to your wife because she's always right." Rogers even says that "apologizing" is something men just do, similar to hunting. It is not the case with Alise and Lucas. They take turns holding the Smart Ball.

William himself follows suit when Derek finds him at the scene of the attack, hanging on just long enough to give a cryptic warning that said great animal is "not what it seems". Rothbart gave us two Almost Dead Guys for the price of one! Not bad. Odette herself at the climax. Sir Rothbart has cursed her to die if Derek pledges his love to another woman, then tricked him into doing just that, but the curse is slow enough to take effect that she manages to feebly fly back to the lake in swan form, then exchange a few last words with Derek as she dies in his arms.

However, Odette doesn't immediately accept, as she wants to know why Derek wants to marry her. When Derek goofs and accidentally insinuates he's mostly interested in her beauty, she rejects him because she wants him to love her for herself. Eventually, Derek is able to prove his love for her is genuine and they get married. Rothbart kidnaps Odette and proposes every night that they marry, so he can legally take over her late father's kingdom. Odette vehemently refuses each time (not least because Rothbart killed her father), even when Rothbart curses her to turn into a swan.

The Swan Princess / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: Rothbart; despite his own transformation abilities, he apparently never thinks to just disguise himself as King William or just marry a fake Odette. Although given his Pragmatic Villainy it's likely he sees such tactics as just as flawed as using his powers to take the kingdom for himself, reasoning he'd spend the rest of his life having to keep up the charade while worrying about being exposed. Derek frequently gets handed this; between his completely inept answer to Odette's question of his love for her, hunting random wild animals without any discernible means by which to identify them as the Great Animal, or his failure to burn the notes to the Forbidden Arts in the third film for no other reason than he wanted to wait until after a festival, it's a wonder how Derek manages an entire kingdom.

The Swan Princess / int_7e74d66f	type	Politically Correct History
The Swan Princess / int_7e74d66f	comment	Politically Correct History: Rothbart's initial plan to marry Odette has one big plot hole in it...marrying a mere princess would normally strip her of her own royalty, not elevate her husband. Even if the throne could be inherited by a woman, Odette would normally have to already be installed as Queen for her to marry beneath her station without consequence, and even then, Rothbart would normally be a prince-consort, not a king.note It would be possible in some cultures for a princess to inherit the throne as Queen if her father chose her husband to be his heir...which brings us to Rothbart killing Odette's father. King William and Queen Uberta arrange Derek and Odette's betrothal in the hopes that they fall in love before they marry, and they reluctantly allow Odette to call off the engagement when she is dissatisfied with Derek's first shallow declaration of love. Odette would traditionally not have had the freedom to do this in an actual Arranged Marriage, particularly a royal one with political benefits, so she and Derek would most likely be married regardless of whether they loved each other or not.

Pre-teen Odette strangely looks like Pippi Longstocking. Jean-Bob's delusional claims of being a prince are clearly a homage to The Frog Prince; assuming such a story exists in this universe, perhaps this is what led to him believing that this was the case.

When Derek announces he plans to marry Odette and gives no reason besides her beauty, she calls the marriage off because she wasn't going to marry someone who named good looks as the only attractive thing about her. However, Derek then reveals in a later scene that he loved her before he noticed she was beautiful, but didn't know how to express that, and goes to great lengths to prove how he feels. Then in the sequels, Derek is repeatedly portrayed as wrong to the point where the theme of the third could be summed up as "listen to your wife because she's always right."

The Swan Princess / int_d1affec1	comment	That Came Out Wrong: Derek's response to Odette's question of his affections for her might as well be the poster child for this trope; when questioned of whether beauty is all that matters to him, he just blurts out "What else is there?" He didn't have a clue what he was saying until the damage had already been done, and Lord Rogers is quick to mock him for it.

This heavily implies that Uberta pairing Derek and Odette together as children was not only for political reasons, but also to honour her friend's memory.

The Swan Princess / int_dbca2c99	type	Red Herring
The Swan Princess / int_dbca2c99	comment	Red Herring: This is used occasionally throughout the later half of the series, with attention initially being drawn towards one potential antagonist, allowing the true villain to hide in plain sight. Following Count Antonio's defeat and subsequent disappearance in Royally Undercover, A Royal MyZtery revolves around a mysterious masked figure marking Z shapes and targeting the heroes with various assassination attempts. Antonio's former henchman, Niccolo, claims that Antonio survived and has returned for revenge, which is seemingly supported further when Derek learns that Antonio's surname is Zambrano. It's eventually revealed that Niccolo himself was the masked figure, and Antonio's fate remains ambiguous. Kingdom Of Music presents Mei Li's father, the Emperor of Cathay, as her main obstacle to marrying Chen, having ordered his sorceress Feng transform Chen into a dragon as punishment. When they reunite in A Royal Wedding, the Emperor soon changes his mind after a conversation with Odette and Derek and agrees to bless the marriage, only for Feng to have her own sinister plot and take over as the film's main villain. In A Fairy Tale Is Born, the smarmy and elitist King Edgar clearly holds disdain for Derek's father, King Maximilian, and openly disagrees with his new ideas when the latter becomes the head of the Council of Crowns. In Far Longer Than Forever, Edgar angrily protests against Derek's suggestion that his father was falsely accused, prompting King Ivan - Maximilian's old friend and the current head of the Council - to reprimand him for his outburst. This makes Edgar the most clear suspect as the one that betrayed and framed Maximilian, but it's eventually revealed that he was completely innocent. It turns out the true traitor was Ivan, with the latter having sold out Maximilian to cover his own crimes and take control of the Council.

The Swan Princess / int_dcb9c541	comment	Ship Tease: The sequels frequently hint at Rogers and Uberta having feelings for each other, with them often bickering Like an Old Married Couple but still often showing a lot of affection. Rogers eventually confirms his love for Uberta when they're about to be executed in A Royal Family Tale, and his suspicion of Count Antonio in Royally Undercover is initially motivated by jealousy due to the latter flirting with Uberta. Yet in spite of this, the pair never become an Official Couple, and in the final instalment Uberta is finally reunited with Derek's long-lost father, seemingly slamming the door on her romance with Rogers for good.

King Sebastian of Boromeo, who played an important role in the seventh and eighth instalments, appears in Uberta's flashbacks as a member of the Council Of Crowns. Alise and Lucas, who were last seen in Kingdom Of Music, return for Odette and Derek's coronation, and are the ones to officially crown them as the new King and Queen. Lucas' parents, last seen in the seventh film, are briefly shown bringing tulips to decorate the palace for Odette and Derek's coronation. Bromley finally returns for the coronation as well, having last appeared in the fifth instalment, A Royal Family Tale.

The Swan Princess / int_e3c36782	type	Call-Forward
The Swan Princess / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: Many of the flashbacks in A Fairytale Is Born hint at events and characters from the later events in the series, particularly those of the original Swan Princess. When Uberta becomes Queen, she is introduced to and befriends Odette's parents, King William and Queen Aubri. It's frequently brought up throughout their scenes together that the couple have hoped for years to have a child, which was previously alluded to at the beginning of the first film. One of the members shown on the Council Of Crowns is King Sebastian of Boromeo, whom the heroes would later encounter in Royally Undercover and A Royal MyZtery. When Queen Aubri is dying, a tearful Uberta promises that her soon-to-be-born child - whom they initially assume will be a boy - will be Derek's "best little buddy". This heavily implies that Uberta pairing Derek and Odette together as children was not only for political reasons, but also to honour her friend's memory. King Maximillian is shown teaching a younger Derek the "catch and fire" trick, which he would eventually use to kill Rothbart in the original film.

Due to the limited budget, both she and Rogers' character models from the present day setting are still used here, meaning they look elderly - even still having entirely grey hair - in scenes where they're only supposed to be in their twenties or thirties.

In dialogue, this is only indirectly implied as characters refer to her as being "gone" or "not coming back", with the closest confirmation being Rogers' remark that Derek "still thinks [Odette] is alive". This is eventually Subverted in the third act, as Rothbart flat out says that Odette will die if Derek makes the vow of everlasting love to someone else, and Derek later demands Rothbart not let her die before their final confrontation.
