My Thoughts:
Well, I have a soft spot for this film because my son loved it so much when he was little. He remembered it even now as a teen when I showed it to him. He still smiled. I find it a bit magical to watch the animation from that time period as it it so different than what we have become accustomed to today. The story is based on the classic “Swan Lake”. The film is Rated G, but some scenes might be intense for a sensitive little one. The music although will get you singing along. This original musical animated adventure is a lasting story that still entertains both kids and adults.
Make it a fun family movie night with Odette and friends! Play a card game, wear a crown, and snuggle!
