“The Swan Princess: 12 Movie Collection” DVD Gift Set Releasing This December!

Fans of the long-running The Swan Princess animated franchise can look forward to owning all 12 movies (as of now) in the series come December 3, 2024. Courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, the upcoming gift set includes a limited edition musical jewelry box.

Released back in 1994, The Swan Princess is an animated movie based on the ballet Swan Lake. It was directed by Richard Rich from a screenplay by Brian Nissen. The 2D traditionally drawn musical was about young Princess Odette and Prince Derek being encouraged to fall in love by their parents as a way to unite the two kingdoms by marrying them down the line. However, issues arose with one major problem being Odette being kidnapped by the evil shape-shifting sorcerer Rothbart.

Rothbart’s spell causes Odette to turn into a swan during the day. She can change into her human form at night if she stands in the lake illuminated by moonlight. Of course, Derek goes to search for Odette, but that’s easier said than done.

I can’t count how many times I watched The Swan Lake while growing up. And considering it being released in 1994, Odette’s quite proactive when it comes to escaping from Rothbart’s clutches.

The original was followed by 11 more movies, with the most recent one The Swan Princess: Far Longer than Forever being released in September 2023.

The Swan Princess: 12 Movie Collection DVD gift set brings all 12 installments to fans via one product along with a pretty musical box-themed jewelry after the movie.

The 12 movies include:
