My Thoughts

Swan Princess is a fun musical adventure filled with magic. In the movie, a young princess gets transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer. She is trapped on on the lake but makes friends with some of the local wildlife including a frog, turtle and puffin. The only way to break the spell is for Odette to find true love. 


I've seen a few different versions of the swan princess, but this one has always been my favorite.  I loved all the songs and the animation was colorful and even better in the blu-ray version. I watched this when I was a child, and it was awesome to see it again with my children. The blu-ray also includes a few bonus features like a look back over the last 25 years, the making of the film, and 5 sing-alongs.
