THE SWAN PRINCESS portrays the timeless battle between good and evil. Although Ruthbart’s use of magic seems to be occultic in origin, there are no overtly occultic symbols or incantations. His magic powers include the ability to transform his physical form and manipulate reality for his own purposes, but are in no way shown as desirable. Ultimately, good triumphs over evil when Derek shoots Ruthbart in the heart with an arrow. This final battle between Derek and Ruthbart is somewhat intense and may be too scary for children under the age of 5. Other mild violence is slapstick in nature as Derek practices archery by shooting paintball-tipped arrows at his servants. There is also a mildly intense chase scene in which Derek almost shoots Odette with his arrow when he does not recognize her in swan form. For the holiday season, THE SWAN PRINCESS can be a suitable family outing and almost achieves the depth and creativity of a Disney production.
