The Swan Princess

FamilyAnimationFantasyAdventureComedy

Directed by Richard Rich

The beautiful princess Odette is transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer's spell. Held captive at an enchanted lake, she befriends Jean-Bob the frog, Speed the turtle and Puffin the bird. Despite their struggle to keep the princess safe, these good-natured creatures can do nothing about the sorcerer's spell, which can only be broken by a vow of everlasting love. From TMDB

    "The Cat Princess" A spoof on the Swan Princess (animated movie) where instead the Princess is turned into a cat and learns from animals on the street about the struggles of her kingdom and aims to make change while trying to change back into a human. Exceptionally sassy. 2015

    I had that feeling too that Alastor would like Michael Jackson, but if you asked me what song does Alastor remind you of, it would be "No More Mr Nice Guy" from the og The Swan Princess movie. That song is pure jazz and fits his vibe. 😅 Him and Rothbart are one in the same. Lol

    Maybe it's the overabundance of pop cultural references and/or songs in a lot of the more recent animated films, but there's something so refreshingly and nostalgically humble about The Swan Princess. It's definitely a perfect encapsulation of a Not-Disney 90s film and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    If movies like Help! I'm a Fish, Luca or Fish Police or a series like Fish Hooks had the minimum of a cultural impact comparable to a Don Bluth movie or even the Swan Princess of all things, regular fish anthros would be as prevalent as cetacean, pinniped or large mammal furries.
