What You Need To Know:
THE SWAN PRINCESS: A FAIRYTALE IS BORN has some funny, heartfelt scenes, but it suffers from a disorganized plot, a pace that’s sometimes slow and inconsistent animation. The movie has a strong moral worldview stressing kindness, compassion, striving for greatness, encouraging other people, and working rather than stealing. However, THE SWAN PRINCESS: A FAIRYTALE IS BORN is marred by politically correct liberal idealism about running a kingdom, a running joke promoting emotional manipulation, and a scene where the princess talks to her dead mother. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for children.

Strong moral, pro-capitalist worldview promoting kindness, striving for greatness, compassion to the poor, encouraging the people who work for you, work is encouraged rather than stealing, and having integrity, but marred by some politically correct, liberal idealism about taking care of the poor and pacifism toward bad guys who engage in attacking the kingdom and its people, the female protagonist is overtly prideful about her ability to manipulate people, and there’s an occult scene where a young woman talks to the ghost of her dead mother
No foul language
Some comical slapstick violence involving rambunctious dogs, a rubber tipped arrow that hits a father’s face, and the heroine’s rival wrecks her son’s fancy coronation ceremony by destroying a large mechanism of wheels and levers and pulleys located underground (some cartoon animals try to stop her but they get knocked about), a pirate ship fires a cannon and burns part of a pier before it sails away, a character drowns off screen in a shipwreck, and a mother dies in childbirth
No sex
No nudity
No alcohol
No smoking or drugs; and,
The female protagonist’s rival is jealous
