Trouble is that from when they are toddlers, Princess Odette
and Prince Derek cannot stand each other.
As so often happens in real life, the pair fall in love
as teens and are about to get hitched when Prince Derek plops
his size 21 foot into his size 21 mouth and loses the beautiful
princess.
Leaving in a huff, she is ambushed by the banned wizard Rothbart,
is kidnapped and is taken to a hideaway where she is cursed
with a spell that turns her into a swan when moonlight hits
a nearby lake.
While imprisoned, she befriends a pond full of animals -
including a French-accented frog who demands to be kissed
all the time so he can reappear as a prince - and waits for
rescue.
Cue Derek and a climactic battle between good and evil.
Youngsters will really enjoy The Swan Princess for
its colourful animation, amusing and different characters,
as well as the added bonus of having a score filled with some
very good songs.
It is an hour-and-a-half of fun that will have adults (sitting
with the nippers) having a good chuckle too.
