Anyway...

For no apparent reason I've had the song "This is my idea" from The Swan Princess in my head for days. Both the Swedish and the English version. I haven't seen that movie in years. But it got me thinking about the movie, what I remember from it.

What happened to the kingdom Odette came from? Her father was murdered and she was turned into a swan. So what happened to the kingdom?

Why doesn't Odette have a female friend? Derek gets to have a friend but Odette has no one to confide in. How isolated is she? When she gets turned into a swan she has a turtle and a frog, but they're both male...

Thinking about it, is there any Disney princess (I know, I know, The Swan Princess isn't Disney, but ignore that) who has a female friend? Pocahontas does, even though she plays a very small part in that movie. I think Tiana in The Princess and the Frog has a female friend, but I've never seen that movie... Anyone else? A lot of the princesses have animal friends, but from what I remember those are almost all male, right? For fuck's sake, give the princesses some female friends already!
