  If you think about it, their love story was as long as two days. Wasn't even fully two days.

  I used to love Swan Lake, still adore the music, but the story ticks me off.  The vow the Prince made is still true because he was making it to the real Odette. He isn't in love with the black swan because she is a false image. It is Odette he see's and believes he is with, thus he never broke his vow.

  This is the story of a guy who can't tell the difference between a white bird and a black bird.

  So basically The Swan Princess is almost exactly the same as the ballet but with more backstory.

  What I always wonder is: what a is von Rothbart's goal?  Why does he turn Odette into a Swan, and what is his reason for wanting to keep her that way?  And we know the Swans are her maidens, but what happened to her family, and why don't Siegfried and his mother know the story, since they are apparently in close neighbor kingdoms.  Also, who is Odile, and why does she help?  Does she have any motive or goal in seducing the Prince? And where and how do she and her father live:  another nearby kingdom?? Is she a real daughter or just a magical creation? and where is HER mother?  Does the Queen know von Rothbart?  Too many loose ends, and a happy ending never works in this!  I guess part of the reason the ballet lives on, aside from the music and some of the choreography, is that the story can be twisted/finished in multiple versions.

  Which company's production is this? BTW Odette is the Swan queen, not a princess
