I was so happy to hear that THE SWAN PRINCESS was releasing on Blu-ray in a special 25th Anniversary Edition, as I knew my girls would love to add this movie to their collection.  We had watched this movie a few years ago when I rented it from our library, and ever since then, the girls are always asking to take it out, or have me buy it on DVD or Blu-ray so that they could watch at home and bring in the car to enjoy while traveling.  So, I thought this would be the perfect time to pick up the movie to share with my girls, in a fun The Swan Princess girls night in movie night, complete with spa time including hair and nails, as well as tasty treats and snacks fit for a princess. :-)

This past Friday, not only did I surprise my girls with the 25 anniversary Blu-ray release (thanks to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment for sending an advance copy our way), but I also had printed out a fun Halloween-themed activity sheet to go along with the movie, and had a fun Odette dress up costume for the girls to enjoy, while we watched the movie.  

Here is Savannah dressed as Odette :-)

The fun spa day and activity sheet would have been enough to get the girls excited to sit and watch the The Swan Princess 25th Anniversary Special Edition from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. 

 

But, having the Odette dress up costume made it that much more enjoyable, as my girls got to take turns being Odette and acting out their favorite scenes from the movie.

If your child is a huge fan of the Swan Princess and they still need a Halloween costume, or they just love playing dress up, you can pick up the full Odette Halloween costume including the crown, costume dress and necklace by visiting https://www.swanprincessseries.com/ and ordering through this website.

 Fans of this classical musical animated adventure will also want to take time to check out the all-new featurette entitled “A Look Back, Tease Ahead,” plus a variety of additional archival features, which come with the new 25th anniversary Blu-ray release, available for purchase today.  My girls really enjoyed the featurette, as did I.  But, I have to say the real fun was had snuggling up on the couch and watching this classic fairy tale come to life in the magical The Swan Princess movie.  Not only is the animation magic and fun, but the music and songs are oh so catchy and will have you singing and dancing along.  We ended up having a few impromptu dance offs during the movie, as the girls couldn't sit still as the music played. They both had to get up and dance around. And, their energy had me getting up to dance right along with them! 

If you are looking for a fun movie to share with your family for an upcoming family movie night, or would love to do a daughter/mommy movie night, then I highly recommend picking up the new 25th anniversary of The Swan Princess on Blu-ray.  This is definitely one of those movies you will want to own, and will watch time and again.  I saw this movie when I was younger, and am so happy to get to share it with my girls, all these years later.  And, maybe down the road they will be sharing this movie with their children, and share about our fun girls' only movie nights featuring Odette dress up and spa pampering. :-)

More about the 25th Anniversary The Swan Princess release to Blu-ray and 4K HDR on Digital:

"THE SWAN PRINCESS, a magical, musical animated adventure based on the classic fairy tale "Swan Lake" has captured the hearts of audiences around the world. The winner of the Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence and the Parents' Choice Award, it's the heartwarming story of the beautiful princess Odette, who is transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer's spell. Held captive at an enchanted lake, she befriends Jean-Bob the frog, Speed the turtle and Puffin the bird. Despite their struggle to keep the princess safe, these good-natured creatures can do nothing about the sorcerer's spell, which can only be broken by a vow of everlasting love. THE SWAN PRINCESS is bursting with color, dazzling animation, beautiful music and the vocal talents of Jack Palance, John Cleese, Steven Wright, Sandy Duncan and Michelle Nicastro.

The 25 anniversary Blu-ray release includes an all-new featurette entitled “A Look Back, Tease Ahead,” plus a variety of additional archival features.

In the newest film in the series, THE SWAN PRINCESS: KINGDOM OF MUSIC, our favorite princesses are back in an all new feature-length musical adventure. Princess Odette is hosting a music competition to celebrate Princess Alise’s birthday - the winner will sing at her grand birthday ball! Prince Li of Cathay has entered, but his sister Princess Mei Li has stowed away on his ship to seek help from Odette and Derek for Chen, who has been cursed to live as a dragon. Lucas and Alise are reunited but Prince Li’s arrival makes Alise doubt her feelings. While Li and Lucas fight for Alise’s heart, Derek and Odette try to help Mei Li and Chen break the curse. Who will win the music festival and will Chen ever be free from his curse?

Included with the Kingdom of Music DVD are interactive sing-alongs featuring two all-new toe-tapping tunes from the film and a behind-the-scenes featurette that explores how the world and characters of the film were brought to life.
