DVD Review: Quick delivery
Summary: 5 Stars

I was happy to receive my order so quickly and find the quality excellent as promised.

DVD Review: Can't find it anymore.
Summary: 5 Stars

I live in a small town, so when I wanted to own this movie once again as a reminder of my wonderful childhood, I was just a little bit out of luck. I couldn't find it anywhere. So when I found it on the internet for such a low price, I couldn't pass it up.

This is such a wonderfully cute and light-hearted story that I love to watch it even to this day.

DVD Review: A Heart Warming Story
Summary: 4 Stars

The Swan Princess is positively delightful. Funny side characters, upbeat (if silly) music, a princess and her prince. Sure to delight young kids, however, I'm 18 and I still hold the story close to my heart.

I took one star away for plot gaps, inconsistencies in the character's emotions and overall look. Princess Odette and Prince Derek fall in love in the first five minutes or so, but then Derek says beauty is all that really attracts him to Odette, so Odette breaks it off. However, the two are swearing they'll be in love "for longer than forever" after Odette get's kidnapped.

I'm super-critical when it comes to costume consistencies. When Odette leaves Derek's castle, she is wearing a dress that is different from the one we see her in after her kidnapping, even though the two events happened sequencially. But, that's really not a huge deal and I didn't notice these things as a child, I just remember adoring the story. Plus, all these criticisms come from being a theatre/film major and being trained to spot inconsistencies. :D

The movie is loveable and kids will love it!

DVD Review: Great Story, Great Soundtrack, Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

My children and my husband and I love this movie. The story is a version of Swan Lake. The characters and music are lovable and cute. The movie has a great message and is appropriate for all ages. We watch it over and over again as a family!

This excellent theatrical feature is loosely based on the Swan Lake story. Princess Odette, having been turned into a swan by a sorcerer's spell, is held captive at the enchanted lake with friends Jean-Bob the frog, Speed the turtle, and Puffin the bird. Along comes Prince Derek, who becomes involved in liberating her by taking on the villain. The movie has been criticized for being too similar to Sleeping Beauty, but once you're watching it--with its strong characters, entertaining vocal performances (John Cleese and Steven Wright are particularly funny), fine artwork, and action--such complaints are negligible. --Tom Keogh
