The Swan Princess: A Fairytale Is Born (2023)

🌟 Before the Swans, Before the Spells

The Swan Princess: A Fairytale Is Born (2023) takes us back to where it all started—before Odette and Derek’s epic love story, before the spells and swans. This time, we get the origin story of Queen Uberta, and honestly, it’s surprisingly sweet.

💖 From Noble Girl to Queen

The film focuses on young Uberta and how she grows from a quirky noble girl into the strong, hilarious, and slightly dramatic queen fans know and love. It’s not packed with action or high-stakes drama, but it does offer a charming tale about growing up, friendship, and embracing your own style.

🎨 A Classic Look That Still Works

The animation stays true to the series’ classic aesthetic, though it’s definitely more simple than most modern releases. Still, the colorful visuals and fun character designs make it enjoyable to watch, especially for longtime fans.

💬 A Quiet, Heartfelt Addition

It might not hook new viewers unfamiliar with the franchise, but it adds heart and context to a beloved character. If you’re into fairy tale prequels, royal glow-ups, and a bit of nostalgic sparkle, this one’s a nice little gem in the Swan Princess collection.
