Odette

Hi guys, today I thought I want to write in a different for change. This article is basically base on the striking similarities with Disney's Sleeping Beauty and The Swan Princess.

The Story

When I watch the Swan Princess for the first time in so many years, the story bears a striking resemblance to Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Especially when young Derek meets baby Odette, it was very similar to young Prince Philip meeting baby Aurora. Indicating that both princes are betrothed to Odette and Aurora.
The final scene reminds me of when Prince Philip fights Maleficent when she was turn into a dragon,...

Odette We�re off on a mission
We�re tough; in good condition
Puffin We're short
Odette But standing tall
All No fear!
Odette There's danger around us
Jean-Bob They'd hurt us if they found us
Speed Our backs are to the wall
All No fear!
Odette �Cause we have all the courage we require
Puffin Take it from a frequent flyer
Odette Try your luck
Odette & Puffin Our plan will fly
All No fear!
Jean-Bob This plan if applied�ll
Be simply suicidal
You�ll be a sitting duck
All No fear!
Jean-Bob Suppose that I do this
Who knows if we�ll live through this?
How �bout a kiss for luck?
Odette...

advertisementPrince Derek: What? You're all I ever wanted. You're beautiful!
Odette: Thank you. But what else?
Prince Derek: What else?
Odette: Is beauty all that matters to you?
Queen Uberta: Derek, what else?
Prince Derek: [to Odette] What else is there?

Odette: You're being sneaky again, Jean-Bob!
Jean-Bob: What sneaky? You deserve a nice bouquet!
Odette: And you deserve a kiss.
Jean-Bob: Well all right!
[Puckers up]
Odette: You know I'm under a spell!
Jean-Bob: But my kiss would break ze spell!
Speed: Give it...
