rewatched it again last night....


apparently, i forgot how boring this thing was. seriously, i don't remember this movie being this dull, this slow and this uninteresting. again, what do people see in this movie that makes them call it a "classic"?

reply

Odette is more brave that people give her credit for. Also, the real two stars of the show are the queen and Lord Rogers.

reply

i have no idea what you just said in that comment. i mean, Odette "brave"? did she ever do anything brave or heroic? no! hell, she never really does anything important to the plot!

reply

First, she loved Derek from the start but gave up on him when he said "what else is there". That's brave to me. Second, she stands up against the villain in every single scene that she has with him. Then there is the "no fear" sequence when she's active and doesn't just sit there. Finally, at the end, she escapes and tries to warn Derek.

reply

that's not "heroic". that's what a girl usually does, but that's not heroic

reply

I used the word "brave". There are many ways to be brave. If you compare Odette to say Thumbelina, she's the hulk.

reply

Obvious troll is obvious. Odette is a wonderful heroine.

Which movie did you watch?

reply

Who says it's a classic?

reply

Yeah I don't know if it's generally called a classic. A lot of kids saw it, probably not as much as saw a comparable Disney movie, and it's not bad but I don't think it's considered a classic by anyone who doesn't just have nostalgic love for it.

And where's your source for that?

reply

Let me guess; your favorite Disney movie is Frozen.

reply

no. i mean, i used to like Frozen back when it came out, but now i take Zootopia over that anyday

reply

The Swan Princess is better than either of those films. What are you doing?
