Nonureva Really Surprised!

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Jesper Brun ***SPOILERS*** After the horrendous piece of junk called "The Swan Princess Christmas", ugh, just saying that hurts, this waste of money was made. Just why? The animation is still plastic-like CGI with stiff moves and awkward facial expressions. Obviously no effort was put into it, so why was it made? Not only that, but the story still contradicts what was established in the first movie: The Forbidden Arts is some kind of a supernatural entity with a mind of its own??? And Odette is apparently an enemy of flying squirrels who plan to destroy her after being manipulated by The Forbidden Arts. Even though I was thoroughly insulted by the Christmas piece of trash, I felt it even more with this one. It does not expand on the original story, it changes it completely! The plot about adopting this girl, Alise, was also painfully uneven and wasn't engaging. The rest is simply put: the music is forgettable generic pop tunes, perhaps a little less auto-tune than in the Christmas abomination, but not at all true to the roots of the original. The animal friends are just there for being there with the same recycled gags. The main characters are either annoying or just not engaging. This is a disgrace and a completely unnecessary sequel.

Shopaholic35 The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale just doesn't have the same charm as the original Swan Princess trilogy. It all went downhill when they upgraded to CGI animation. Sometimes modern animation techniques can hurt a movie if it looks like the animators weren't even trying which is what happened here. Aside from the animation the story is not bad. I would describe it as cute but there isn't too much substance or emotion. There were a few moments when the characters seemed to behave a little insensitively which seemed unnatural but it wasn't a big issue.I also found it rather odd that they would break out in song at the weirdest moments. Sometimes you wouldn't have a song for ages and then all of a sudden you would have 3 in a row. Everything screamed lack of passion and laziness. It's a shame because The Swan Princess has such a legacy and the new instalments have lost what made them special.

Sophie Lenan I have always loved the Swan Princess series. It was my favorite movie as a little girl. Although I will conclude that the first movie is the best in this series, people are giving the sequels reviews that they do not deserve. The introduction of the Scullions adds a new twist to the story. Talking animals are nothing new to this series, but the Scullions show that you believe what you are taught, no matter how absurd it may be. The adoption of Alise allows us to see another side of Derek and Odette that we have not yet seen in the other movies and shows just how strong a parent's love can be for their child. The Prophecy helps explain and clean up several loose ends not covered in the previous films. The Prophecy helps to show why the practitioners of the Forbidden Arts are always trying to kill Odette above all others. The several instances of clean humor give comic relief to the rather serious nature of this movie over the others.Although the voice actors have changed multiple times over the course of the series, they have been able to stay true to personalities the characters.The songs in the movie were artfully done, but I wish that they had been more spread out throughout the movie, and that there were more of them.The Animation has GREATLY improved since the last movie, especially in the rendering of the hair. One thing that I enjoy about this series, and Alise in particular, is that the animators made the characters look human, instead of giving the women large eyes or the children abnormally large heads as have been seen recently. The Forbidden Arts as the villain gives us a BOSS level sort of movie, but the open ending allows for another few movies. It is possible that there are more sorcerers who practice the Forbidden Arts, or that the writers may add in a new power or Villain entirely. No matter how much I love this series and all the movies however, I can not realistically see the series going for more than two or so more movies.

M MALIK I think i have said it right it summary area this film is below the level to be even called worth watchable or average when you make a low budget film there are certain rules of it too one rule is to be very careful on the project as you don't have much money to waste on promotion,voice actors and to afford better animation,this film is one of the fourth or fifth sequel to a 1994 film the swan princess i haven't seen that film but that film was largely appreciated worldwide at that time but the director Richard rich keeps on making sequels and the result is in front of us.The Plot:prince Derek and princess Odette adopts a girl she goes missing and gets kidnapped by squirrels now both the prince and princess must save her.I cant talk about voice acting because you will hear almost nothing good from the actors as the loud music overshadows the dialogs,there is plenty of awful shaky animation and weird story if you have not see the original better watch it and avoid all sequels it will change your taste for animation i got tricked into watching this and believe me it is an absolute waste of time i am a 24 years old guy who likes good films even cartoons i am not comparing this to Disney and Pixar anyway this film could have been nice but all efforts are wasted may i ask why was this film even made.Overall The Swan Princess:A Royal Family Tale 2014 is a solid mess i had a real bad experience watching it i have seen plenty of bad films since late 90s but this is beyond my brain my rating is 2/10:skipp it
