Han R Jun 21, 2018 I feel the need to start this off saying that I'm already a bit prejudiced against Christmas specials. Oh, not the MORALS that they want to teach (loving each other and selfless giving is totally fine) but shoving Santa/Jesus down our throats with constant "tis the season and nothing at all can be imperfect during christmas and everyone is SO HAPPY ALL THE TIME THIS TIME OF YEAR" makes my gag reflex start churning. So that being said that I'm already not the target audience for christmas specials: The shift to 3D animation could have been worse than it actually turned out. Now it's not GOOD but it could definitely have been worse. Traditional animation is pretty expensive and these are direct to DVD sequels, so I'm going to actually list that as a plus--the "it could have been so much worse" bonus. I'd say the animation is about on par with if not sliiiiiiightly better than the Barbie movies. Can we stop turning Odette into a swan? I get that's the brand franchise and all, but it really only worked in the first film and has been unnecessarily tacked on in every one since. The "spirit of christmas" defeating Rothbart is dumb. I can't believe that's the climax it makes so little sense and triggers that previously mentioned gag reflex so much. ...frankly that's all I remember about the plot because the rest of it was pretty generic. Well, generic minus the sudden jukebox musical of popular songs at the end, oh THAT was a special form of torment. So in summary: it's a direct to dvd film made to target little girls and parents who will buy anything with the word "christmas" on it. Nothing here for adults, but really--were you expecting this to be a good film? The title is "The Swan Princess Christmas." You knew what you were getting into. See more
