Hi everyone, this movie is also part of my childhood alongside Disney and so what you are going to read is my review on the Swan Princess.
The Characters
Okay, one thing I really like about the characters is that they are very original and therefore they are their own. At least that they distinguish themselves from any Disney characters considering that Richard Rich had previously work for Disney.
However, Princess Odette has some similarities with Princess Aurora from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Mainly due to their blonde and wavy hairstyle.
Derek looks dashing as any Disney Prince will definitely look, despite that he distinguishes himself from the Disney Prince. Especially personality!
Rothbath is just a very weak villain to start of with, he reminds of Jafar from Disney's Aladdin. In particularly their motives and the fact that they turn into the Great Animal at the movie's climax!
The Story-Line
I found out that Swan Princess is loosely based on Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, I personally think that if Richard Rich were to use the music from the ballet like what Disney did with Sleeping Beauty. It will make the film magical, but on the other hand, the music is sinister and dramatic considering that the film is family-friendly.
The Songs & Musical Scores
While revisiting my childhood memories, the musical scores are very memorable and the songs, especially Far Longer than Forever is really a catchy romantic ballad that I could not get it out of my head! The ending credits rendition was also beautiful in it's own way, and I strongly recommend it.
Far Longer Than Forever
So, here are my thoughts and opinion on the film, if you want to watch the ballet. Go ahead and check it out!
