Line 14:
----
=== This film (and its sequels) contain examples of: ===
* [[All Animation Is Disney]]: Then again, Richard Rich did direct the Disney films ''[[
* [[Alternate Animal Affection]]: Lt. Puffin has no problems kissing the back of Odette's hand in a very humanlike manner.
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: The animals, fairly often - after they steal the map from the tower, for example. The human characters generally don't get these, with the notable exception of one point in the opening montage where you have the main characters - [[Slapstick Knows No Gender|including Odette]] - as kids getting involved in a goofy and haphazard accident and cutting away to the group of them in the traditional amusingly exaggerated slings and bandages.
Line 59:
* [[Dub Name Change]]: The French version changes many names: [[King Arthur|Arthur]] (Derek), [[Romeo and Juliet|Juliette]] (Odette), Albéric (Rothbart), Aldo (Jean-Bob), Rapido (Speed), Capitaine Anatole (Lt. Puffin), Melchior (Rogers).
* [[Duck]]: Done during the song "Practice, Practice, Practice" when Derek launches (harmless) arrows at a group of servants acting as targets. Cue the musician dressed as a duck popping his head up to say "Yes?" and then getting hit.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evilly Affable]]: Rothbart may be a sadistic [[Jerkass]], but ''man'', does he have style! He never loses his temper (fully) either.
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Rothbart in the first movie and Clavius in the second one.
Line 65:
* [["Falling in Love" Montage]]: In the third movie, while Derek is singing "Because I Love Her", it shows clips from the first movie. Though for some reason they chose some decidedly ''un''romantic clips for this love song, such as Odette dying, and Derek hunting down and murdering the [[Big Bad]] in an action sequence.
* [[Final Love Duet]]: "Far Longer Than Forever", the reprise (though it's not sung on-screen).
* [[Follow the Leader]]: That teaser poster above swipes from the teasers for both ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' and ''[[Beauty and
** Specifically, the choreography for [[Villain Song|"No More Mr. Nice Guy"]] is... ''suspiciously'' similar to Aladdin's "Friend Like Me".
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Young Derek gives baby Odette a locket with a swan on it and when they grow into young adults, he tells her she's as beautiful as a swan. Later in the movie, she's cursed to become a swan each time the moon sets.
Line 71:
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Odette.
* [[Happily Married]]: Derek and Odette, at the very end of the first film and in the sequels.
* [[Hoist
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Rothbart won't lift the curse unless Odette marries him.
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Lord Rogers.
Line 79:
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: Speed, the turtle. {{spoiler|Subverted. While Speed is pokey on land, he's a blindingly fast swimmer.}}
** [[Truth in Television]]; semi-aquatic turtles are ''much'' faster on water than on land.
* [[Jerk
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Subverted for the second movie. Parts I and III came to DVD in 2004, but fans had to wait five years to get the installment that came in between.
* [[Large Ham]]: Rothbart.
Line 86:
* [[Mistaken Declaration of Love]]: Rothbart disguises his henchwoman as Odette so Derek will do this.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: At least one of the sequels refers to the lake outside Derek's and Odette's castle (originally Rothbart's) as Swan Lake.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: It's implied everyone believes Odette was killed, but they only ever refer to her as being "gone" or "not coming back". Averted with Rothbart, who {{spoiler|flat out says she'll die if Derek makes the vow to someone else.}}
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: the trailer of Swan Princess 3 shows Roger falling from a spatial height towards the Earth, implying that something of epic proportion will happen. Sadly, it's just a part of a [[Disney Acid Sequence]].
* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: Odette in the first movie, Jean-Bob and Rothbart.
