Video Description

From KIDS FIRST!: Life isn't always easy even when you live in a fairytale land, and sometimes you have to become a swan to save the person you love. Or at least that is how the story goes in this imaginative tale. Fans of the first Swan Princess movie will enjoy seeing Princess Odette and Prince Derek one year after their joyous wedding. Unfortunately, life isn't so joyous anymore. Prince Derek doesn't have time for anyone because he is too busy dealing with the pressures of ruling the kingdom. Odette understands what he is going through, but can't help feeling a bit lonely. His inattentiveness to family matters leaves a wide opening for the evil Clavious, who kidnaps Prince Derek's mother Queen Uberta. As Prince Derek takes time out of his busy schedule and attempts to rescue her, he realizes that he needs to get his priorities straightened out. When troubles arise for him during his rescue operation, it's up to Princess Odette to save him by becoming a swan. Her faithful friends, a frog who is certain he is a prince, a turtle, and a bird keep viewers laughing at their antics during the exciting rescue operation. "The Swan Princess and the Secret of the Castle" is an engaging tale with appropriate pacing for its intended audience. The music is appealing and it promotes a balanced appreciation of self and others. KIDS FIRST!® Child Juror Comments: "It's not as good as the first one. Puffin and the frog and the turtle had great personalities. They were very funny. I like how the princess had to save herself and sometimes had to save Derek. Usually the stories have the prince rescuing the princess." 71 min.; Ages 5-12.

For anyone who has watched the the swan princess movies and knows there is three movies total the way this movie is describede you may be mislead to believe it is a new movie, but the truth is that Swan Princess: Secret of the Castle is a dvd version of The Swan Princess II - Escape From Castle Mountain the sequal to the first movie which came out straight to vhs in 1997. The have simplely changed the name and the description a little bit. The new title fits the movie better then the old one. The movie is a good one and has some good music in it. As far as sequals go it is a good one.

sure it's nothing like the first but hey, it's a really good sequel. take it from me. i know some animation sequels could suck at times but this one falls right under the first. its a nice addition to the franchise and a nice addition to your DVD collection. i highly recommend this film to fans of the first film.
