Synopsis: As children, Prince Derek and Princess Odette are forced to spend their summers together by their widowed parents, who hope that the two will eventually fall in love and marry, so their two kingdoms will be united. 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?

- Tomorrow night?

- In the ball...

- Mother, I... I can't.

Please mother,

don't do the lip thing.

If I leave now, maybe I can be back in time.

Oh, Thank you darling.

Please mother, don't turn it

into one of your beauty pageants.

Hooo... no no no no no,

It just a few friends...

and their daughters.

I want this to be big.

Every princess

must have her own introduction.

- But, you said...

- Forget what I said.

Now, send for the cooks.

And tell the band to start rehearsing.

And I want four footmen

for every carriage.

Make it five.

Let me get this straight.

You mean, every night, when

the moonlight leaves the lake, you...

Right.

The following night,

if I wanted turn back into a human,

I have to be on the lake.

What she needs is a little moon light.

Me, I have to be smooched.

No fear! You fly to your prince.

We bring him back to the lake.

The moon comes up,

you change into a princess, and...

Happily ever after.

- How am I find him?

- You don't know where he is?

- I even don't know where I am.

- I bet, he does.

Oh, that's a great idea.

Just say:
"Monsieur Rothbart,...

I'd like to leave now,

you have a map or something?"

That's it!

A map!

Let's do it!

We're off on a mission.

We're tough, in good condition.

We're sure standing tall.

No fear!

There's danger around us.

They'd hurt us if they found us.

Our backs are to the wall.

No fear!

Cause we have all

the courage we require.

Take it from a frequent flyer.

Try your luck, our plan will fly.

No fear!

It's hanging on the wall,

in the upper chamber.

Odette will keep look out,

while we get the map.

- We?

- Would you're not going to help?

Oui.

This plan if applied

will simply suicidal.

You'll be a sitting duck.

- No fear!

Suppose that I do this,

Who knows if we'll live through this?

How about a kiss for luck now?

- No fear!

Our team is shy one green,

web-footed volunteer.

No way, Jose.

No chance!

- No choice.

- No fear!

No, stop it! Stop it, no!

- All right, quickly!

- Easy for you to say.

Ouch!

Whenever I have to do something

quick, I always bring a turtle.

I think I pull a muscle.

I'm going to die. I know it.

I am on a dangerous mission

with a lame turtle!

You're going to get us all killed.

Beat you!

We will take any dare that the

other side will care to dream up.

We'll play tough, we'll play fair, but

we're sure to win because we'll team up.

- Yikes!

- Head for the door.

All right! Jean-Bob goes deep,

Speed gets the hands off.

- Ready!

- Break.

Set!

I'm open, I'm open.

- Ah-ha

- What?

Catch that map.

Saved you.

Reach.

Hey, batter, back, back!

All The crowd... going wild!

No fear!

It would be fine if one of us

knew how to steer.

Get a grip, get set!

That's our best bet.

No breaks!

No sweat!

And no regrets!

We're dead!

Not yet.

Oh, no, not yet!

Save me.

No fear!

There's Derek's Kingdom.

When do we leave?

- It's a mouse.

- The great animal.

A tad small, wouldn't you say?

Yeah, until it changes into this...

An animal that can change it's shape.

A harmless creature approaches.

Then, suddenly it's too late.

You mean, you mean it

could be anything?

Anything.

Odette, I apologize for

the way I have been acting.

It's alright Jean Bob.

No, no, this Derek is

very important to you.

And all I can do, is think of myself.

Everyone does that.

Please, Odette, don't make it

more difficult, than it already is.

Accept my apology, please.

- OK, I accept.

- Good, now we can kiss and make up.

- Jean Bob!

- What did I say, what? What?

Attention!

It is "zero hour", troops.

- Odette, prepare for takeoff.

- Right.

The rest of you have your assignments.

Is everyone ready?

- Ready for action, Sir.

- How about you, Jean Bob?

Jean-Bob!

...Highness.

Oui, I am... ready.

Take off!

Good luck.

Have a nice flight.

Remember!

If anything happens to her,

I'll have you

whipped, flogged, put on the rack,

and then, have your back legs

fried in butter.

He's in here, Brom. I can feel it.

How will you know the great animal,

when you see it?

I'll know.

Better stay close.

If you say so.

Derek.

- Derek, where are you?

- Shh... shh...

Oh, sorry.

Derek?

Derek!

We'll better keep an eye for hunters.

Ease, Odette!

I can smell a human a mile away.

- Where did that come from?

- Derek!

Derek. He is here!

What the... You will not lose control!

You will follow the plan as outlined.

Acknowledge, acknowle...

Odette!

Odette?

Look! I've got you now! Oh-oh, ohoh!

Don't give with that innocent look.

Change!

Go ahead, change!

Come, I am not afraid of you!

Nooooo...

Ahh, Derek!

A Swan?

A Swan!

Of course!

It's not what it seems.

Just a little closer.

Come on!

Come on!

- Derek!

This one's for Odette!

Oh, Odette!

Uh, Uh, that was close.

Ho ho, it works,

here he comes.

Hey, slow down,

you're going to lose him.

- Slow down.

- He's too close.

Too close?

He can't even see us anymore.

Let alone...

Speed up, girl.

- Ho, that boy of yours can move.

- I told you.

He is faster than you thought.

Don't worry, Odette, I've been taught

just what to do in this situation.

- Well? -

When... - Puffin!

Yeah, yeah,...

When the archer has you in his sight,...

fly into the sun and use

it's light.

Follow me!

Ha ha! Well, what did

I tell you Odette?

Yes, now, you see, all we have

to do is just stay in the sun.

Ha, alright!

Don't panic! Don't panic!

- Puffin! - Odette,

hurry. - Into the trees!

We'd better think of something quick,

or else, we're dead ducks.

"All birds should remember,"

the Possum said...

When there's no escape,

you have to play... dead"

Gives it the right touch. Yes.

Just wait till I give you a...

That will put some

distance between us.

No sign of them yet.

I hope that Pudgy Puffin,

knows what he's doing.

Incoming.

Ha, ha, there they are.

It's almost time, Odette.

Look!

- I... I cant do it.

- But you have to.

He'll kill me, Puffin!

You don't do it now, Odette,

you've lost your chance for life.

Alright.

- I'll do it.

- Go!

What?

Alright! Come on! Come on!

Got you!

Hello, Derek.

Derek, I missed you so.

No one believed me.

- But I knew...

- You can't stay.

Can't stay?

No, I'll never let you

out of my sight again.

Listen to me, Derek.

- Odette!

- Oh, no!

Who is it? What's going on?

- It's him!

- Who?

He has me under a spell.

- Who does?

- Odette!

Let him come! I'm...

No! He has great power.

You must go!

- You are coming with me.

- I can't.

When the moon sets,

I turn back into a swan.

Please Derek,

you have to trust me.

Go!

There must be someway

to break the spell.

Oh, there is.

You must make a vow

of everlasting love.

I'll make it.

It's all I ever wanted.

- You must prove it to the world.

- How? How?

- I don't know...

- Odette!

Go!

The ball! Tomorrow night.

Come to the castle.

Before the whole world, I will

make a vow of everlasting love.

Odette!

I'm coming.

- Go!

- Tomorrow night.

Yes, tomorrow night.
