Or at least this is how the story goes in this imaginative tale. Fans of the first Swan Princess movie will enjoy seeing Princess Odette and Prince Derek one year after their joyous wedding. Unfortunately, life isn't so joyous anymore. Prince Derek doesn't have time for anyone because he is too busy dealing with the pressures of ruling the kingdom. Odette understands what he Is going through, but can't help feeling a bit lonely when he doesn't take time to be with her. His inattentiveness to family matters leaves a wide opening for the evil Clavious, who kidnaps Prince Durek's mother Queen Uberta. As Prince Derek takes time out of his busy schedule and attempts to rescue her, he realizes that he needs to get his priorities straightened out. When troubles arise for him during his rescue operation, it's up to princess Odette to save her love by once again becoming a swan. Her faithful friends, a frog who is certain his is a prince, a turtle and a bird keep viewers laughing at their antics during the exciting rescue operation. "The Swan Princess and the Secret of the Castle" is an engaging tale with appropriate pacing for its intended audience. The music is appealing and it promotes a balanced appreciation of self and others.

WESTON WOODS STUDIOS/SCHOLASTIC
Series: SHORT, AGES 2-5, ANIM
Description - When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place -- a pigeon! But you've never met one like this before. Narrated by Mo Willems and Jon Scieszka with animation by Pete List. Includes bonus interview with Mo Willems.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The story is about a pigeon, but mimics a child having a tantrum over something they can't have. It tells a fun story, holding your attention. Could be a good spring board for discussion on behavior with a child. Encourages children to interact with the DVD, and tell the pigeon that he can't drive the bus. Some viewers might not appreciate the pigeon going off in a truck at the end. Overall a fun story.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Very good. I like how it has the people speaking, like actual people and not just the narrator. I like the pigeon's reactions to all their answers like he has a really mad face as if he was saying "Come on."
