I loved the first movie, the second one was okay, disappointed John Cleese wasn't jean bob anymore as hes my favorite character. But the third one...what happened to the animation??? it looks low budget like a sat morning cartoon! except for the flashback which was taken from the first movie. They really should have stopped after number 2, this just makes the rest look bad!! Derek's voice has changed but its not as recognizable as jean bob..Rogers also looks very strange. I also don't understand where Rothbart came from. I thought he died! This movie made me want to turn it off, as much as i love the first one, i was very disappointed with this installment. They will never beat the original!:)

1st watched 3/29/2005-6 out of 10(Dir-Richard Rich): The 3rd entry in this series is a good story with pretty good songs despite a weak villainess who uses a goofy disguise to lure herself into the Prince's castle. Pretty much like the first two, this movie doesn't blow you away with anything great, but just is there as a good piece of entertainment. The main characters are developed well but the biggest flaw is a silly romance thrown in between the evil sorceress disguised as a Swedish maiden in distress, and a servant of the castle who is at his hammiest. There is romance and many hints of good character versus bad that is displayed for the young ones which is also a plus. All in all this was an enjoyable and well made piece of animation that will probably close out the series.

This is a great movie and I think that it is as good as the first I like all three of the swan princess movies but the first and third are my fav's The second is good but lacks something The third has a great plot and is a great story. It's full of fun songs and charaters , including all our fav's frome the first two movies plus new ones It's an all new magicial advencher With Prince Derek, Princess Odette and all their friends. It's a great story with a pretty cool villian

Also titled--> The Magical Castle--> This one is a stretch. Why bother? Why create another rockbart and then add another story line that has nearly nothing to do with the play nor swan lake. Only some girlfriend of rockbart, the stolen book of forbidden arts and the original characters (not voices remain). Stripped to to its bares this is a continuation by a thread. Next thing you know some bird will have memorized the "forbidden arts" and Swan Princess 4: the magical bird will be born. Thankfully though the chapters are supposedly closed and this will beginning but bad ended trilogy will come to a close.
