5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent , considering its from a cartoon!, December 1, 2005
This review is from: The Swan Princess: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)
I just got this yesterday and I love it! Even though I'm now almost fifteen, its so fun to look back on this fun soundtrack.
OF course you have a few childish numbers, such as "Princesses on Parade", "NO Fear!", and "No More Mister NIce Guy(The movie and awful remake version)" which are rather lame and superfluous. But if you can look past these minor glitches, this CD is really a gem.
The song "PRactice, Practice, Pratice!" is downright fun, and I think I appreciate it most as a musician myself. Even while listening to this song, its all I can do not to shout out "WEasley, you're a Rabbit!"
"Far longer than Forever", is a beautiful ballad and is truely enjoyable. And what's better is the singing (and speaking?) voice of Derek is done by DOuglas Sills of "The Scarlet Pimpernel: THe Musical" who was also nominated for an Academy Award!
The orchetral pieces are very pretty and relaxing to listen to. My favorites are "Derek Finds Odette" and "End Credits" which give us beautiful renditions of the main theme. However, I was surprised to find that in "The Enchanted Castle", you can almost hear traces of "Another Year Begins" from "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire" by Patrick Doyle. WEird....
ANyway, I highly recommend this for movie music enthusiests. IT's still as fun as ever!

This C.D. has the funniest lyrics and is really good!, June 8, 1999

The Swan Princess is an enchanting movie, but the first thing about it that you remember are the songs! The song where Derek and Odette grow up and against their better judgement and will, are forced to meet each other every summer is outright hilarious!I really recommend it!

Excellent!, April 21, 2003
This review is from: The Swan Princess: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)
This is one of the best animated movie soundtracks out there. I like every song because they are all fun in different ways. This is a classic story with classic music and is really worth buying. I greatly recommend it.
