It looks absolutely ridiculous. Bring it on! :woot:

I don't think this franchise will really die. It survived the '90s after all lol.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Golden Globe®-nominated animated classic The Swan Princess, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is making the fan-favorite available in brilliant high definition for the first time ever with a collectible anniversary edition Blu-ray and in 4K HDR on digital, both available on October 29th.

The Swan Princess, a magical, musical animated adventure based on the classic fairy tale "Swan Lake" has captured the hearts of audiences around the world. The winner of the Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence and the Parents' Choice Award, it's the heartwarming story of the beautiful princess Odette, who is transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer's spell. Held captive at an enchanted lake, she befriends Jean-Bob the frog, Speed the turtle and Puffin the bird. Despite their struggle to keep the princess safe, these good-natured creatures can do nothing about the sorcerer's spell, which can only be broken by a vow of everlasting love. The Swan Princess is bursting with color, dazzling animation, beautiful music and the vocal talents of Jack Palance, John Cleese, Steven Wright, Sandy Duncan and Michelle Nicastro.

The 25 anniversary Blu-ray release includes an all-new featurette entitled “A Look Back, Tease Ahead,” plus a variety of additional archival features.

I'm glad to see the recognition the film gets with the gathering and the upcoming Blu Ray release! :D I've always felt that this film doesn't truly get the recognition that it deserves!

Thanks for posting that article/interview, DisneyFan09!

So if I understand it right, Richard Rich was given the option to make these recent sequels using hand-drawn animation and he said no because he -- and surprisingly not the studio -- thought kids wouldn't be interested in a 2D movie? That's somewhat strange, especially because he also doesn't seem to put much value in CG other than being able to play around with the camera and that it makes the characters look consistent from one scene to another.

You know what? The remarkable thing about the livestream and the articles about it's 25th Anniversary celebrates the movie as it has a huge amount of followers. It's IMDb rating is remarkably low and the same could overall be said about it's fanbase. Which is a pity, since I've always felt the film deserved to do better.

How do they break the spell?! I'm a little intrigued; I've only ever seen the original, but darn it, I'm intrigued. But wow the animation- when Jean Bob and friends are being pushed by magic or whatever and falling down the hole...

The villain just looks like a normal person who works in an office. Not a very interesting or creative character design.
