This is my favourite childhood movie. it is non-disney and not many people have heard of it. which is one of a million things i love about it. it has is half-sorta not really based on a ballet story (swan lake-which you have probably heard of). the names if most the characters are the same however it is not nearly as sad.
this movie has its own little songs which are sung occasionally through the film adding even more magic to this fairytale story.
Basically the story is that Princess Odette and Prince Derrick were both arranged to be married since they were infants. however they disagree, as children they find no interest in each other. each of their parents force them to meet each summer 'in hopes that they will fall in love'. when they grow into adults they do fall in love pretty much at first sight as if they were seeing each other for the first time clearly. Derrick announces that they will be wedded but when Odette asks why he loves her so much, he can only tells her of her beauty she decides that he doesn't actually love her.
the marriage is called off and the familys part. when Odette is travelling home her carriage is attacked, Derrick is told but he gets there too late to save her. left behind is Odette's father and a coachmen dieing. he tells Derrick that a 'great animal' animal attacked them.
Derrick throughout the movie tries to find Odette as she is the love of his life. Granted the movie is quite sappy and is meant for children however i absolutly adore it. Great movie for those who love the princess movies.
