The Princess and the Pea

Post by Poody »

Has anyone seen it??? I stumbled upon these videos on youtube.... it looks quite interesting! The animation isn't the greatest, but I guess it's half decent. The music sounds nice as well.....

The Princess and the Pea-Already Animated?

Post by Disney Duster »

I didn't listen, just looked. And I only had to look a little to see that the princess looks just like peasant Briar Rose, with the long, same-styled curled locks, the black headband, and the way she sleeps! And then she's basically copying Rose and Phillip in the forest with that very green scene that looks like woodland growing insde the castle...only the pigs replace the usual furry animals.

I agree with Disney Duster, there are a lot of similarities between Sleeping Beauty and this film. The animation makes it look like something from the late 80's early to mid 90's (at least IMO)

I looked only at the animation, also. Is that a Don Bluth flim? The girl reminds me so much of Don Bluth's Thumbelina.

Saw if for a few sconds and closed it.
Looks like a Don Bluth's movie (which i can't stand those movies).
And i disagree Disney Duster-she don't looks like Aurora at all,maybe the hair but she more reminds me of Don Bluth's Thumbelina.

I watched that movie on Cable TV only last summer, it was released in 2002 or later, so it's not as old as Aladdin. I didn't enjoy it very much, it's aimed for kids only.

Yeah, it's from 2002 and by "Swan Animation".... interesting. I actually really wanted Disney to do that fairytale. Oh well, I found a DVD of it online (I think...), so hopefully I'll see it soon! :D

Turns out the DVD I bought was just of a TV series. I'm surprised this movie was popular enough to have a spin off TV series.... :? :lol:

I just randomly stumbled upon the trailer for this today. Never heard of it before (surprisingly!) and would be interested in checking it out. It sort of feels like a bizarre cross between Thumbelina, Hunchback, Black Cauldron, Sleeping Beauty, and Swan Princess.

I know it was released in 2002 but it feels very 90's-Disney-rip-off. :D
