Intro lines NARRATOR: Once upon a time, there was a king named William who ruled a large and mighty kingdom, and yet he was sad. He was growing old and had no child to inherit the thrown. Then happily, a daughter was born, a princess and she was given the name Odette. Kings and queens came from all around to offer the gifts to the child. Among them was the widow Uberta and her young son Prince Derek. It was then that William and Uberta happened upon the same idea. Derek and Odette will be brought together each summer, in hopes that they will fall in love, and join their Kingdoms forever. But unknown to all was another plan, that of the evil enchanter Rothbart. Odette's birth was of little concern to him, for he was preparing to take William's Kingdom, by means of the forbidden arts. On the eve of his assault, William attacked and Rothbart's powers were plunged into darkness. Despite calls for his death, the enchanter was only banished. Part 1 Pictures and full quotes ROTHBART: I'm not finished with you yet, William. Someday I'll get my power back, and when I do, everything you own, everything you love, will be mine! NARRATOR: Many feared King William too kind, but in time, the threat was forgotten, and all hopes turned to that not so distant summer, when Derek and Odette would meet. KING WILLIAM: Dear Uberta, and lovely as ever. QUEEN UBERTA: Oh, a nest. KING WILLIAM: And who is this terrific young man be? Young prince Derek, no doubt. QUEEN UBERTA: Welcome to our fair kingdom, dear William. And to you, young Princess. Go on, Derek! Dear, go on! YOUNG PRINCE DEREK: Mother! QUEEN UBERTA: Derek! YOUNG PRINCE DEREK: Hello Princess Odette, I'm very pleased to meet you. YOUNG PRINCESS ODETTE: Pleased to meet you, Prince Derek. QUEEN UBERTA: Derek! YOUNG PRINCE DEREK: Yuck! PRINCE DEREK: Arrange the marriage. PRINCESS ODETTE: Wait! PRINCE DEREK: What? You are all I ever wanted. You're beautiful. PRINCESS ODETTE: Thank you, but what else? PRINCE DEREK: What else? PRINCESS ODETTE: Is beauty all that matters to you? QUEEN UBERTA: Derek! What else? PRINCE DEREK: I... what else is there? KING WILLIAM: We tried, Uberta. No one can say, we didn't try. Say goodbye, Odette. PRINCESS ODETTE: Good bye. KING WILLIAM: Good bye? PRINCESS ODETTE: Prince Derek. PRINCE DEREK: Mother! QUEEN UBERTA: Derek! PRINCE DEREK: Good bye, Princess. QUEEN UBERTA: All these years of planning, wasted! LORD ROGERS: "What else is there?" She says "Is beauty all that matters?" And you say "what else is there?" PRINCE DEREK: It was dumb, I know. LORD ROGERS: You should write a book, How to offend women in five syllables or less. BROMLEY: Your turn, Prince Derek. PRINCE DEREK: I did not know what else to say. BROMLEY: You lost your queen, Derek. PRINCE DEREK: It's twice in one day. LORD ROGERS: Think! You must see something other than Odette's beauty. PRINCE DEREK: Ha. Of course I do Rogers. She's like... you know... How about... and then, I mean, right? I don't know how to say it. I'll prove it to her. I'll prove my love. Checkmate!

Reviews
The Swan Princess might as well be the unofficial sequel to "Beauty and the Beast (1991)." It's not quite as good or fresh, but it's delicious all the same, bound to amuse children and entertain their trapped parents, too. (The New York Times)

For "The Swan Princess", Pillsburry is conducting a retail display conteast for its supermarket accounts. The winners and their sales rep get a free castle tour of Europe. (Billboard - Google Books)

While a perfectly serviceable confection for small fry, The Swan Princess will likely have its neck wrung commercially by all the high-profile competition aimed at the children's/family market this holiday season, as well as Disney's sabotage in reissuing The Lion King (1994). (Variety)

The film was followed by four direct-to-video sequels: The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain (1997), The Swan Princess: The Mystery of the Enchanted Kingdom (1998), The Swan Princess Christmas (2012), and The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale (2014). A sixth film, The Swan Princess: Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today, was released on September 6, 2016, while the official trailer for the film was released on June 27. A seventh film is also in production. (Wikipedia)
