Episode 18: Odette - The Swan Princess (1994)

<p>Whether a princess the size of a thumb, or one who changes into fowl in the evening, 1994 was a great year for animated princesses. This week we are discussing the latter, a lady who consistently stands up for herself despite getting her feathers ruffled: Odette from The Swan Princess. Spawning countless sequels, The Swan Princess was a little film that did a lot for animated musicals. Join us as we explore the history of the tale, the making of the film, and the lessons Odette taught us-- intentionally or not. Transform your moonlit evening (or your commute to work) with The Damsel Dialogues and Odette, of The Swan Princess.&nbsp;</p> <p><u><strong>Historical &amp; Production Links:</strong></u></p> <p><a href="https://debeysklenar.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/where-did-the-story-of-swan-lake-come-from/">https://debeysklenar.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/where-did-the-story-of-swan-lake-come-from/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/swan.html#jacobs">http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/swan.html#jacobs</a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.liveabout.com/history-of-tchaikovskys-swan-lake-724173#:~:text=Pyotr%20Ilyich%20Tchaikovsky's%20Swan,princess%20turned%20into%20a%20swan">https://www.liveabout.com/history-of-tchaikovskys-swan-lake-724173#:~:text=Pyotr%20Ilyich%20Tchaikovsky's%20Swan,princess%20turned%20into%20a%20swan</a></p> <p><a href="https://animatedviews.com/2019/the-swan-princess-lasts-far-longer-than-forever-with-director-richard-rich/">https://animatedviews.com/2019/the-swan-princess-lasts-far-longer-than-forever-with-director-richard-rich/</a></p> <p><a href="https://disneyripoffs.fandom.com/wiki/The_Swan_Princess">https://disneyripoffs.fandom.com/wiki/The_Swan_Princess</a></p> <p><a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess">https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.swanprincessseries.c
