Swan Princess 11: A Fairy Tale is Born (2023)

Hot off the DVD presses, we're taking a look at the brand spanking new addition to the Swan Princess series: Swan Princess 11, A Fairy Tale is Born. This film takes us back 30 years in time to answer the burning question, "How did Uberta become Queen?". Well, surely it was someone's burning question anyways? Come and join us as we discuss among other things the blistering pace of this film, Uberta prioritizing dog shows over the well-being of her citizens, ghost mom's and the daughters who love them, and what's to come for the Swan Princess series. 

The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina (2002)

This week we're taking a look at a seldom-discussed retelling of the Thumbelina story... seldom discussed because this film unfortunately just doesn't have a ton going on to put it on people's radars, outside of the star studded voice acting cast. Like so many of the films we profile The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina has a lot of potential but unfortunately the final film falls a bit flat. Come and join us as we discuss among other things mole kings and their lacklustre villain songs, the time old tradition of slapping boobs onto non-boobed creatures, and whether or not Elijah Wood even remembers voicing this film. 

Disney Descendants 3 (2019)

Bri's back from vacation and feeling refreshed, so what better time than now to dive back into the Disney Descendants universe by taking a look at the trilogy's grand finale! Disney Descendants 3 is, in my opinion anyways, the obvious high point of the series... though it still has a few missteps here and there. So join us as we discuss among other things good girls gone bad, Disney's odd precedent for pairing up Maleficent with Hades, and Kristi being the only person on earth who remembers One Saturday Morning's "Stuart Day". 

Camelot (Golden Films, 1998)

We're wrapping up the April Prince movie month with a glorious return to our old friend, Golden Films. Camelot is Golden Films' rendition of the King Arthur mythology, and is probably their best written film. Seriously, there's some potential in this movie! It's just a shame that the budget (And run time) wasn't there to turn it into a classic. So come and join us as we discuss among other things the connection between this film and The Last Unicorn, Lancelot killing 12 dudes and getting away with it, and jerk wizards thrusting unwanted destiny's onto sad men who just want to be loved. This episode also culminates in us getting extremely sidetracked looking up movies based on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (A classic book we forget existed for a good 5 minutes or so).

The Frog Prince (Tales from Muppetland, 1971)

Sing out for the bog and sing out for the ooze, the life of a frog is the life you should choose! We're kicking off our now-yearly Prince month by taking a look at the beloved Tales from Muppetland: The Frog Prince. This is yet another nostalgic favourite brought to us by the talented Jim Henson Company, and I'm delighted to be able to talk about this one. So please come and join us as we discuss among other things Robin the Frog's debut appearance, the greatness of Taminella Grindlefall, Muppety-thrift store finds, and Kermit getting drunk at 12:00 in the afternoon. 

The Last Unicorn (1982)

It is once again that magical time of year where we celebrate Bri’s birthday by discussing a film of her choosing. This year Bri has chosen the 1982 classic: The Last Unicorn, a lovely little film that’s only getting better with age (And as we age too). Come and join us as we discuss the idea of being remembered, unicorns and the fair maidens that wait for them, and Steve’s strange fascination with what he calls “The Elton John Butterfly”.

Faeries (1999)

I do believe in Faeries, I do, I do! This week we're taking a look at Faeries, a 1999 film from Britain that tries very hard to tell an enjoyable story inspired by Faerie folklore... but it unfortunately misses the mark quite a bit. There is some potential in this story, and it did manage to give me a hankering for more fun stories about the fae folk. So join us as we discuss among other things 5-minute engagements, conflicting but charming visuals, and some recent developments in the Swan Princess universe. 

 

Swan Princess 10: A Royal Wedding (2020)

Well folks we've done it, we're finally taking a look at what is currently the final installment in the Swan Princess series: Swan Princess 10! That means we're officially kicking off our season 4 with a return to the usual craziness that the Swan Princess series can provide. So join us as we discuss among other things unsatisfying villains, the Rogers/Uberta ship, and the most important topic of all... we introduce you to our friend Steve and his penchant for cursing you with way too much food. 

BONUS: Season 3 Podcast Retrospective

Before we jump into our fourth season we need to make sure the previous one is wrapped up! As is tradition, join us for a very chill bonus episode where we go through the movies we profiled last season, mixed in with a good number of our usual tangents (Such as, "How to not blow up your house when trying to kill a spider" and "Is Shrek a Princess movie?). 

Look forward to our new season of Bad Princess Movies, starting in two weeks time!

A Christmas Prince (2017)

New podcast episode! We're wrapping up the 3rd season of this podcast by taking a look at the Netflix Original "A Christmas Prince", which seems to be Netflix' answer to Hallmark's Christmas movie offerings (To the point that Hallmark eventually came out with a potential mockbuster of the film a year after this film released). This film has also launched a series, with two sequels that we are now doomed to watch in subsequent Christmas seasons. But that's getting ahead of ourselves, today we need to discuss A Christmas Prince. So join us as we discuss among other things escaping the consequences of your own actions through blogging, how body pillows aren't just for anime, and my mother's memorable Flintstones pants. Yeah, we went on a lot of tangents with this one folks!

 

(This'll be the last podcast of the season, we'll be back sometime in the new year to kick off season 4!).
