i be the sort of person who never and ever watch animate movie and but i make an exception for thumbelina and the swan princess . be absolutely in love with the first installment of the series and i buy this and sit down to watch it with a very biased mind and determine to love it because i would spend money buy it . i finish the movie and and all i can think be the horror . i want to like it and i really do . i tried very and very hard to like it . but i couldn not enjoy a second of this grueling film . the song make me feel like rip my ear out of my head . the dialogue be so lame i felt myself twitch with frustration and irritation every time someone open his or her mouth . the villain be laughable and i felt myself want derek and odette to die in the end . and i be absolutely in love with them from the first film . i be go to try repress the memory of this movie and because it almost destroy the first one for me . there be one song in the movie in which there be a series of flashback to the first film . the difference in animation between the two be make very obvious and and i begin yearn for the first one and wish i would never set eye on the third . do yourself and favor and do not waste your time .
