As children and adolescents, Derek and Odette can't stand each other, but as young adults they begin to see each other in a different light and fall in love with each other. But one night things take a bad turn when Derek unintentionally offends Odette, who then refuses to marry him if he can't prove that he loves her for who she is and not just her beauty. Odette and her father are then attacked by Lord Rothbart, a vengeful sorcerer who was cast out of William's kingdom when he plotted against the king. In the form of a beast, Rothbart mortally wounds William, and kidnaps Odette then places her under a spell. Now it is up to Derek to rescue Odette by showing his undying love. But will he be in time?

Practice, practice, practice.

He's not happy, 'til he has attacked us.

Twelve seconds.

Day after day all the prince ever does.

Practice, practice, practice.

Thinking of her

and the way that it was.

Practice, practice, practice.

If we had refused he would have

sacked us. - Five seconds.

So we face a life of target.

- Three, Two.

Practice, practice, practice.

- Time!

Animals, assemble for counting.

Ah-hah, very good, very good!

Your scored, thank you, five pointers.

That's for sure.

Sorry Hans, why don't

you take few days off.

Moose are worth 2 points.

Sixteen hits a total of 32.

Ten 7 points.

And... fourteen 3 points.

A total of 298.

Well done, Derek!

Now, Bromley, let's see if you...

Hmm... zero and zero and

a nothing and nil and zip.

And last but not least,

the elusive one hundred points.

White rabbit.

I believe that's

three hundreds Rogers.

Good shooting Brom.

Well, what it tell?

300 into 298.

Oh, but a wait just

a moment, Rogers.

Sorry, Brom.

Ha-ha-ha-hmm.

You're a great marksmen, Derek.

One of the best.

But it takes more than good aim.

It takes courage.

That's my forte.

Well, then how about quick

round of catch and fire?

Cat-Cat-Cat...

Catch and fire? You mean me?

You are the only one with enough

co-co-co... courage.

- Whoo ho.

- Are you sure you are alright?

Uh-huh, fine!

I'm... I'm fine.

Too tied, too tied.

Whoops, so sorry!

Ready?

He is ready.

Remember now, aim to the heart.

Right between the shoulders.

Oh, please! So, please!

Come on, Brom, hold it steady.

Oh, please! Oh, please!

Help, please.

Now!

Fifty two out of fifty two.

Well done, Derek!

Extraordinary courage, man.

Just think, one inch lower,

and that arrow would have...

Don't loose hope, Odette.

Wherever you are, I'm going to find you.

Quiet, I can not concentrate.

You've come up with

some dumb ideas, Jean Bob...

- But this one is a doozy.

- Go ahead and laugh.

I'll get her to kiss me,

and when she does...

And when she does...

poof, you'll change into a prince.

I know, I know!

You've told me.

Why don't you just give her

these flowers?

These are pretty.

Ha-h, what a love dunce!

I don't want these flowers.

I must have those.

When she learns that

I have risked my life for them,

the kissing will not stop.

And then you'll change into a prince.

- Precisely.

- Mind if I point out a problem?

- I don't take advise from peasants.

- Suit yourself.

Flower, kiss, concentration.

Flower, Kiss, concentration.

Just curious,

how you going to get back?

Hurry! Hurry!

Move up! Move up!

Oh, not that!

Close!

Please, grab me, grab me!

Hold my arm, hold my leg.

Hold my...

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Oh, thank you, Odette.

Thank you, let me have that.

Silence, you savages!

Are you alright, Jean-Bob?

Jean-Bob?

Jean-Bob?

Oui, Odette, yes, I am alright.

What the whole world,

were you trying to do?

- He thought that if...

- Shush!

I wanted to get those flowers for you.

- You are being sneaky again, Jean Bob.

- What sneaky?

- You deserve a nice bouquet.

- And you deserve a kiss.

- Well, alright.

- You know I'm under a spell.

- But my kiss will break the spell.

- Give it up, Jean-Bob.

I can only kiss the man I love,

and then he...

Must make a vow of

everlasting love, I know.

And prove it to the world.

What do you think,

I was doing with the flowers,

and the alligators going "chomp, chomp"?

- Speed, make him understand.

- I'm only a turtle.

If I could break this spell,

I'd run to him today.

And somehow I know

he's on his way to me.

Derek, you and I were meant to be.

Far longer than forever.

I'll hold you in my heart.

It's almost like you're here with me.

Although we're far apart.

Far longer than forever.

As constant as a star.

I close my eyes and

I am where you are.

Sure as the dawn brings the sunrise.

We've an unshakable bond.

Destined to last for

a lifetime and beyond.

Far longer than forever.

Far longer than forever.

I swear that I'll be true.

I swear that I'll be true.

I've made an everlasting vow.

To find a way to you.

Far longer than forever.

Like no love every known.

And with your love

I'll never be alone.

Far longer than forever.

Much stronger than forever.

And with your love

I'll never be alone.

- You think, he is dead?

- No, it just his wing, I think.

- Strange looking bird.

Uh-hh...

My, fellow, you must

be in a lot of pain.

You better hold him.

- Uh...

- Ready.

Hello!

This is your wake-up call.

It takes more than a pair of

dumb fools to keep Puffin down.

Wait! Wait!

I.. I am your friend.

If you are my friend, how come

you have an arrow in your hand, huh?

Yes! The exact arrow I have?

Hmm... Haaa.

I took it out when you

were laying there.

You mean, you had a chance to...

But instead you...

Ahaa.

Madam, I apologize.

My name is Puffin, Lieutenant Puffin.

It's a pleasure, Lieutenant Puffin.

I'm Odette, Princess Odette.

And these are my best friends

in the whole world:

- Mr. Lorenzo Trudge-Along.

- Friends call me Speed.

- And Jean Bob.

- I have no friends, only servants...

and they call me, "Your Highness".

Thinks, he is a prince.

I owe you, princess. And I intend

on staying until my debt is paid.

I don't think there is much you can do.

He has my under a spell.

What! You mean a magical...

who-ho-ho-ho.

Your knight in shining armor,

has come to set you free!

Let me ask him, hear me ask him. I'll...

Enough... enough.

Chill!

All it takes is just one little word.

Will you... marry me?

- Every night you ask the same question.

- No, no!

- And every night I give you

the same answer. - Don't!

I'll die first.

- You really start to bug me?

- I should think you'd be used to it by now.

That's it!

Just keep pushing it!

- But some day I'm going to boil over!

- Go ahead, then.

But I'll never give you

my father's Kingdom!

I knew it.

I was hoping,

you would say "You'd be mine".

Well, it looks as

if you need another day...

to think about it!

No!

Oh, Shoot!

Princess!

Beautiful! Simply beautiful!

Soon Derek will be married,

- and the kingdom will have a king again.

- I doubt it.

Derek still refuses to be king,

unless he finds Odette.

Oh, poppycock! All that will change

at tomorrow night's ball.

They all coming to the ball.

Every princess is coming.

Oh, goodie!... Oh, my! This is wonderful.

You see, Rogers?

One of these is bound

to change his mind.

Oh! Absolutely... Not!

Do not loosed one!

Oh no, no, no, no.

Where is Derek? Oh, never mind,

I know where he is.

Working on the mystery

of the fat animal.

The great animal, Your Highness.

Oh, big, great!

It's large and has fur.

"Listen, Derek, its not what it seems. "

What did King William mean?

"It's not what it seems. "

Of course!

It's not what it seems.

Now I'll find you, Odette.

They are coming, Derek.

Oh, where Odette?

Where are you going?

- To find the great animal.

- Oh, wonderful!

- Just make sure you're here tomorrow night.
