Wordiezett So much average

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

jeffnkimsmith I love this film, short and simple. Of course, there were obvious flaws, most of them relating to variations away from the book. But, as I understand, most people who watched it only watched it because of the book, in which case it would be, for most, a disappointment. Not me. The animation needed a degree of work, but that is always the hardest part of one of these films. While I will be flamed for saying so, I think this was a well-done movie.The story was the best part, but that came straight from the book, so nothing can really be said there. The voice-acting was well done. Most character's voices fit them extraordinarily well, particularly the characters of Serena and Boyd struck me as best-cast in the movie. Words and music (mostly the trumpet)were off with the mouthing at several parts, but it was nice to have some celebrity voices in there. Little Richard was interesting, but the music itself was well-done.The movie was better than it's predecessors for certain (Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little) in the movie category, just as I always felt the novel surpassed them. Note that I don't generally watch movies like this, but it was magic for me. I hath spoken.

TxMike With so few votes, it appears that few have seen this movie. I am a bit shocked at its low rating. It is barely 70 minutes long, the voice-acting is very good, with Reese Witherspoon, Jason Alexander, Carol Burnett, and others. It is about a hatchling trumpeter swan who doesn't have a voice. How can he "trumpet" and attract a mate? How about if he gets a real trumpet and learns to play?? I got this DVD on loan from my county library system, I planned to watch a few minutes of it late last night, to see if I wanted to see the whole thing, but found it so captivating that I couldn't stop. It is a total fantasy, with a brief commentary about the plight of trumpeter swans, but overall a nice diversion which would be enjoyed by any children, or childish grandfathers like me!The critic Ebert has a complete review, however I believe his rating is a bit low for this charming little cartoon.

swimmercait This movie was not the greatest movie I've ever seen, but I did enjoyed far more than I thought I would. Most of the story is true the book of the same name by E.B. White. Except of course for the song & dance numbers (which were terribly annoying and for the most part unessecary) and a couple of characters werealso not in the book (the talking squirrels are a few). The Trumpet Of the Swan would be best enjoyed by children ages 3-10, beyondthat the movie seems hokie.4 out of 10 stars.

saxofonix This is one of the worst animated features I have ever seen. I can't see how this silly and convoluted story (and minimal animation) would appeal to either a child or an adult. Despite using a 'name' cast, the voice talents don't gel on screen. There is no depth to the storyline and in the end leaves you completely uninvolved with either the characters or the narrative.
