The Swan Princess

The Swan Princess

I'm not finished with you yet, Willi.

Someday I'll get my power back,

and when I do,

everything you own,

everything you love,

will be mine!

Oh, here they come.

Dear Berta, and lovely as ever.

Oh, a nest.

Ah, and who is this terrific

young man be?

Young prince Derek, no doubt.

Welcome to our fair Kingdom dear

William, and to you, young Princess.

Go on, Derek!

Dear, go on!

- Mother!

- Derek!

Hello Princess Odette,

I'm very pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet you, Prince Derek.

Ha-ha-ha-haa.

Yach.

I can't believe I'm stuck

with her all summer,

I'll bet, she doesn't wrestle,

hunt or box.

He looks conceited,

What a total bummer.

If I get lucky, I'll get chicken pox.

So happy you could come.

So happy to be here.

How I'd like to run.

This is not my idea.

This isn't my idea,

Of fun.

The children seem to get

along quite nicely.

We'll join our lands if

this arrangement clicks.

My dear King William,

that's my point precisely.

It's such good parenting

And politics.

So happy we agree.

I think we've got a deal.

Derek's quite a catch.

This is my idea.

This is my idea,

Of a match.

And such fun!

Good heavens, child, don't dawdle,

We can't keep Derek waiting.

I haven't packed or washed my hair

And, father, I get seasick.

They soon will be arriving,

Is that respect you're showing?

To make me kiss her hand again,

I swear I'm going to be sick.

One day Prince Derek will

be her intended.

Splendid!

We've tried all summer,

but we just can't lose her.

Hey fellas, wait up!

Quick, put on some speed.

When picking teams

Or friends,

I never choose her.

You'd think she'd take a hint?

and learn to read?

This really isn't fair.

We really couldn't care.

Boys, it's all or none.

This is not my idea.

This isn't my idea

Of fun.

Long before they met,

Derek and Odette,

Were destined to be wedded.

However anyone could see,

The only point on which they

didn't disagree,

Was that the very thought

of summertime,

Was dreaded.

She tries to talk me

into playing dress-up.

So, she's always flirting

with the castle guards.

I think you really sort of

like her, 'fess up.

I'd like her better if she'd

lose at cards. Four sevens and a ten!

I think I've won again.

Every time she's won.

This is my idea.

This isn't my idea

Of fun.

We need a royal wedding.

I'd love to be invited.

At least we'd get a holiday,

to rest our ploughs and axes.

Someday these two will marry,

Two lands will be united,

And with some luck their marriage,

may result in lower taxes.

What if Odette doesn't go

for the merger?

Urge her!

For as long as I remember,

We've been told

we'd someday wed,

Every June until September.

All their pushing and

annoying hints.

I've got bruises with

their fingerprints.

I can do much better I am sure.

He's so immature.

I see him smiling

and my knees start buckling,

I see inside him

and my doubts are gone.

She started out as

such an ugly duckling,

And somehow suddenly

became a swan.

So happy to be here.

'Til now I never knew.

It is you I've been dreaming of.

This is my idea.

What a good idea, such

a charming and romantic notion.

This is my idea.

This is my idea.

Such a good idea.

Such a good idea.

What a good idea,

such a powerful and magic potion.

This is exactly my idea,

Of love.

This is my idea.

This is my idea.

This is my idea...

Of love.

Arrange the marriage.

Wait!

What?

You are all, I ever wanted.

You're beautiful.

Thank you, but what else?

What else?

Is beauty all that matters to you?

Derek!

What else?

- I... What else is there?

- Ahh.

We tried, Berta.

No one can say, we didn't try.

Say goodbye, Odette.

- Good bye! - Good

bye? - Prince Derek.

- Mother!

- Derek!

Good bye, Princess.

All these years of planning,

Wasted!

"What else is there"?

She said,

"Is beauty all that matters"?

And you say "what else is there"?

It was dumb, I know.

You should write a book,

How to offend women in

five syllables or less.

Your turn, Prince Derek.

I did not know what else to say.

You lost your queen, Derek.

It's twice in one day.

Think! You must see something

other than Odette's beauty.

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!

Today is the day, Willy!

Everything you own,

Everything you love...

Will be mine!

I... I just don't understand.

What else did you want him to say?

I need to know that he loves me.

For just being me.

Stay inside, Odette.

It's King William's Captain.

We...

We were attacked.

A great animal...

Odette?

Derek! Wait!

Odette!

Odette?

- King William!

- Derek!

Who did this?

It came so quickly...

A great... animal.

Where is Odette?

Listen to me, Derek.

It's not what it seems...

It's not what it seems...

What's not?

Where is Odette?

Odette, is...

Odette, is... gone.

Odette!

Don't let my little

spell make you sad, Odette,

as it does not even

last the whole day.

As soon as the moon comes up...

And that's how it works,

every night.

You have to be on

the lake of course,

and when the moonlight

touches your wings...

Now, look, Odette...

This sort of thing does not

give me any pleasure.

Well, maybe a teensy bit...

But what I really want is...

is your father's kingdom.

Take it then,

you have enough power.

No,-a-a, tried that already.

Once you steal something,

you spend your whole life

fighting to keep it.

But if I marry you,

the only heir to the throne...

We'll rule your father's kingdom

together, legally.

King and queen, you know?

Never!

Where are you going?

As soon as moonlight leaves the

lake, you turn back into the swan.

No matter where you are.

The musicians are not happy.

I know, but I have to practice.

No, no complains here.

I think, it's going to be lots of fun.

The Great animal's never going

to give up without a fight.

You are not still thinking she is alive?

When I'll find the Great animal,

Rogers, I'll find Odette.

Oh, Derek, you looked everywhere.

She is not coming back!

The whole kingdom knows that.

The whole kingdom's wrong.

Odette's alive, and I'm going to find her.

- You ready, Brom?

- No peeking!

Animals! Assemble!

Lord Rogers, I must object.

We are musicians.

The servants have the day off,

we have to use someone.

But I am an artist, not a boar.

Could've fooled me!

Come on, guys.

They're harmless.

We are a band,

And not a band of animals.

This masquerade,

Is more than I can bear.

There goes my reputation,

It's awful, this humiliation.

And I've the lion's share.

Down on all fours, please,

and growl ferociously.

Liven it up a bit!

I want you to strike fear into my heart.

Not You, Wesley! You're a rabbit,

for heaven's sake.

Archers!

Ready!

Set!

Go!

- Duck!

- Yes!

- Duck!

- What?

Day after day all the prince ever does,

Is practice, practice, practice.

Thinking of her

and the way that it was.
