The Swan Princess: Difference between revisions

* [[Award Bait Song]]: "Far Longer Than Forever" and "Eternity" (latter is over the end credits only).

** The third film also had "Because I Love Her".

* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Oddly, given that part of the film's moral is "Looks aren't all that matters", the bad guys are ugly and the good guys pretty (though the hag does a [[Heel Face Turn]] at the end which extends to the sequels, thus proving the moral right).

* [[Big No]]: Odette has one when Derek professes his love to the disguised hag.

* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: Odette in the first movie, Jean-Bob and Rothbart.

* [[Obviously Evil]]: You'd think that Derek would notice {{spoiler|Bridget's disguise}}, considering he's known Odette his whole life to dress in white, whereas {{spoiler|Bridget}} is wearing an [[Obviously Evil]] red/black outfit.

*** And is played by the same ballerina who is cast as Odette.

* [[Off-Model]]: In the third movie, Odette is constantly switching back and forth between wearing a white and green tight dress, a white and green puffy sleeved dress, and a blue palette swap of the latter, all within the same scenes.

* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: Somewhat [[Subverted]] in that the only two we seeing playing are Derek and Bromley, the former, while not stupid, is not the sharpest sword in the armory, and the latter loses ''while cheating''.

* [[Species Surname]]: Lieutenant Puffin. The almost-certainly-not-canon-but-still-extant bonus features on the most recent DVD claim that his parents were [[Animal Jingoism|so proud of being puffins,]] they simply named him "Puffin."

** Every closeup of Derek and Odette kissing looks exactly the same, except for some changes in the background and/or costumes. This doubles as an [[Every Episode Ending]].

** Odette often changes from a swan into a human through stock footage.
