IMDb plot summary: A power-hungry sorcerer curses a princess to live as a swan by day in this tale of everlasting love.
Directed by Richard Rich. Starring Jack Palance, Howard McGillin, Michelle Nicastro, and John Cleese.
This plot is a little confusing, and it's just one of many pieces of this story that just don't seem to make any sense. The timeframe of this movie is exceptionally confusing, the rules of this spell are so unclear, the sidekicks pop up out of nowhere and are just expected to be understood, the romance sets up an obstacle that then vanishes for no reason... It's just all a strange messy Disney knock-off. The songs are decent, although not terribly catchy, and the voice acting is solid, and the animation, while nothing noteworthy, is at least clear and not obnoxious. I could see being into this as a young child, but as an adult it leaves me pretty cold.
