About this episode

The episode dives into the first sequel of the Swan Princess series, exploring its lore and character changes.

We are but weak sailors on the sea, who once again cannot resist the siren song (Or is that swan song) of the Swan Princess series. This month we're diving into what was the start of the "Sequelitis" that infected the series, with the first of two traditionally animated sequels released in the 90s. What Swan Princess lore have we missed out on by skipping over the original sequels in favour of the CGI ones? Who did they try and get to replace Rothbart? Who is Wendy the Swamp Pig? All will be revealed in this episode!
