Original Voice Of Prince Derek In ‘The Swan Princess’ Talks Film 25 Years Later | TODAY Original
I'm shocked to see something Swan Princess related here!
Me too.:) Happily surprised.
JesusGirl921 Me three
Desiree me too
Me too!!
My favorite non Disney Movie Ever!! 😍😍🙂👍🏻
You should write a book.
*How to offend women in five syllables or less*
Best line! Rogers was such a savage!
My favorite line!
I love that line!
Classic Rogers line along with, “You’re the only one with enough C-C-C-C-C-Courage” and “NOT. YOU. WESLEY. YOURE A RRRRRRABBIT, for heavens sake.”
The best. XD
"What else is there?" Is still the most iconic line a animated prince has ever said, I swear
He should write a book xD
True 😂
@Krystine Brown Ironically, Derek was less shallow than he made himself sound at that moment. Derek knew Odette had changed in more ways than just physically... The reason he hadn't speculated on what changed about her internally is (probably) because he assumed that chemistry means nothing could go wrong.
Here's the *real* lesson Derek learned: "Just because there's an instant chemistry DOESN'T mean you two are necessarily right for each other."
Hahahahaha
😅That is a pretty embarrassing top entry, isn't it, @Nicole Raheem?
The voice actor aged gracefully.
YuuKamijo so true
Still handsome
And he looks so much like Derek too!!
@@WallFlower08 Well, the animator who did his design was probably inspired by the voice actor’s performance and added his facial expressions to the movie
The voice actor of Odette died I'm sad😭😭😭
Sadly she died in 2010 from breast cancer.
NANI WHAT?!?!?!
NO ONE TOLD ME------IS THIS WHY HER VOICED CHANGED SO SUDDENLY?!
@@Disney65Fan may she rest in peace
Michelle Nicastro died of breath and brain cancer which was a huge shock especially that she was so young! A truly huge loss and it was hard to believe! :(
R.I.P the Original Voice of Odette: Michelle Nicastro :(
Thank you all so much for the likes :) I really appreciate it. I really wanted to express how much Odette's voice means to us all.
I Know right and I miss her
Odette and Anastasia are my fav non disney princesses! There's something about them that I love so much
Same here but I always watched a different Anastasia when I was a kid the one with the talking instruments but I love both versions
Fun fact: both Anastasia and Odette's singing voices are by Liz Callaway :)
@@katietan2114 I know... she's perfect 😊
What about thumbelina?
@@lindseyemra9195 I don't like her that much! I LOVE her song soon but the rest is... kinda boring, at least for me
Ahhh! So glad Swan Princess is getting love!!!!
Emily Kranking I know right?
I know right!!!
Me too 😊
@@pamelakibildis1177 you know this movie came the same year as Disney's The Lion King
J's Watch I know Lol 😄
he has such kind eyes
sage bates I know right?
Omg he does
Yeah, he’s quite good looking in general.
My favourite line has always been "all those years of planning, WASTED!". Loved Uberta more than Derek and Odette.
Fiona Morrison Agreed. She was the most realistic character.
Uberta was amazing 😂
Hahaha yes!
The Queen, Rogers and the frog made this film
Despite the flaws of the movie's plot, I still love this movie.
I really enjoy the songs and the characters are fun, Odette is like the only princess who calls the Prince's out 'Is Beauty all that matter to you?!" Like questioning him about it while they were growing up.
Sadly the original voice actress of Odette had pass away and I really wish to hear her take of Odette. May she rest in peace.
HaloSalo what are the flaws? i havent watched the movie im while so i don’t remember every detail 😅
@@saintuary3281 it was fast paced, added rando characters not in the story/ballet and down plays odilles role to mimicry by "big bad guy"
Azazura Azura ig 🗿
@@azadalamiq PLUS, we never see any hints about how the hag managed to earn the heroes' forgiveness!! The screenwriters should have inserted *two* crones who were identical twins, making the kindly twin the one with a crush on the chamberlain.
The Swan Princess is still one of my favorite films.
Mona Bling same
Same here. Also like Anastasia as well!
Same!!
🧡🧡 Ditto...
_The Swan Princess_ being acknowledged? YESS!
Odette is the most beautiful non Disney Princess. :D she's gorgeous
“Is beauty all that matters to you?”
XD Sorry I had to. This was just too perfect an opportunity.
Absolutely
You should write a book
HOW TO OFFEND WOMEN IN FIVE SYLLABLES OR LESS
Lol
@@AforAwesome3604 haha, for a moment I thought you were serious 😂😂😂 but then I remembered it was a line in the movie 😂😂
The swan princess isn’t the worst animated film ever, it’s good.
Johnny Yanko I know! It’s so underrated!
The CGI version is,at least for me it is.
The sequels are the worst
@@fantamoon847
If you're talking about the CGI sequels then definitely so.
The Swan princess cost 20 million and grossed only 9 million ,Walt Disney`s Cinderella ( 1950 ) cost 2 million and grossed more than 300 million dollars
I think they did this because not only has it been 25 years but because there is a chance of a live action Swan Princess
If this gets a live action, I’m crossing my fingers for Anastasia! Especially if it included songs from the broadway musical ❤️
Omg the soundtrack from the Broadway musical of Anastasia is phenominal
I'm terrified of the thought of someone one touching this movie, as recent live action remakes have been hit or miss. I am a bit excited at the same time.
CastMemberLove live action of Anastasia yess place have it be the broadway version without Rasputin
I would love a live action swan princess and thumbalina I love those 2 movies. Anastasia not so much.
He Lowkey looks like his character 😳
He sure does.
Ikr lol
Yes
Well, @V's bias ARMY, that phenomenon about animated media has universally applied for quite some time...
Omg you’re right 😦
Sandy Duncan: I’ll be 80 in six years.
Me: HOW ARE YOU IN YOUR SEVENTIES ALREADY! You look so much younger than that!
Right? I would’ve said late 40’s to mid 60’s.
Why am I only finding out about this 1 month later??? I’m also surprised they did anything to do with the Swan Princess😂😂😂
My favorite line is when he tells Odette "you're beautiful" and she asks "what else" and he says "what else is there?"
Whoa Derek looks like that.
I love this film since I was a kid. Can't believe its 25 years old now. I still own it on VHS. Must try and get it on DVD.
Me too! Still have my VHS copy
@@aliciafarquharson8284 12456890
I have it on DVD! 💜
I found the DVD at Target along with Thumbelina
It’s now on Blu-Ray to celebrate the 25th anniversary.
All the comments talking about the prince and I'm like "where's the love for Queen Uberta? She was awesome, and Sandy Duncan is amazing"
*Uberta
The 2 dislikes must be the 2 crocodiles from the movie..
lmaoooo
LOL!
I hope my jawline can stand out like that in another 20yeras omg
I'm so glad to see more recognition for this movie on it's Silver Anniversary celebration. At least it's something. Howard McGillin seems so likable and down to Earth.
I think he played the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway in 2001. I saw him perform. He was phenomenal.
Film Fan I saw him too! It was in 2005 though, lol
@@Elizannchan I saw him in 2001, right after 9/11. I think it was some time in October. I was 10 years old, and my parents took me to see Phantom of the Opera - my first Broadway play. The next night, we went to see the Broadway production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. We should have seen Les Miserables instead. I only saw Les Miserables around 2006 in D.C.
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? I seriously missed watching this movie so much!
Jinx Bluefire I missed it too
You can get it on DVD! :)
Stacy Higginson and Hulu!
The love he has for Prince Derek is so precious 😭♥️
I never thought I'd see this. wow... the Swan Princess. I must admit, I was 15 year-old boy but... this movie was adorable. And... I finally put a face to the voices... I never thought it'd see that. Thank you.
I love the Swan Princess trilogy. Queen Uberta is simply hysterical especially in part 2. 🤣
The Swan Princess and Balto were 2 of my most watched non-Disney movies as a kid. I have so many memories of sitting on my mom's bed using her TINY screen tv and VCR combo on her dresser. Pretty sure I got red jello on her bed while watching too. GOOD TIMES!
Balto omg yes❤️❤️❤️
chiharu55412 I actually never saw Balto as a kid
I loved them both so much too. Also Anastasia
Omg yes same for me. Swan Princess and Balto! I knew all the dialogues and songs by heart!
R.I.P Michelle Nicastro (Odette's voice actor)
He’s hotter than the prince in my opinion
Finally someone said that
Yep
The prince’s teeth make me lowkey uncomfortable 😟
It’sZorah S This comment bonds me to you for life. So glad someone else feels this way
Bruh look at the prince 's face in the thumbnail >.
When the voice actor is as handsome as the character he’s playing ❤️
The fact that he played The Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera
Anastasia Rostova Daaé I thought this was him his name look so familiar. Wow a prince and an opera ghost
Anastasia Rostova Daaé What year of the film???? I need to watch it!!
@@GirlMovie16 well, he's not in a film. He played the Phantom on Broadway from 1999 til 2009
Howard was the phantom I saw on broadway.
@@desiraejenks2608 So cool
He has aged so beautifully 😍
My childhood movie ..25 years this movie came out when i was 5 ..... It holds a very special place in my heart ...its good seeing him and hearing him for 25 years ... Good memories ... Michelle nicastro ...rest in peace Angel .... Our Princess Odette ...we missed you ...💙
Howard McGillin is an absolute legend. I grew up with him in "The Swan Princess" and, when I was older, I got to see him as the Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway. I met him after the show and he was one of the genuinely nicest people I've ever met. I'll always love him. You're awesome, Howard! Rock on!
I have always hated Prince Derek with a PASSION, but Howard seems like such a lovely man. 🥺
Fun Fact: Howard mcgillin, aka Derek, had the most permances of Phantom (as the Phantom) in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway! He’s a legend
I have so much nostalgia with this movie, I’ve loved watching it when I was little and I’m still obsessed with it. This movie does not deserve the rating it received, it deserved better.
I'm 32. This is still my favorite cartoon movie. I cry watching it to this day
I'm 29 and...same
The voice actor of Oddete died in 2010 of breast cancer :(
Survived by her husband Steve Stark and 2 daughters
"This is my idea" was my very first song with musical/opera sense in it, and I'll still love it far longer than forever
Also Derek: "What else? What else is there?" (when asked why does he love Odette besides that she's beautiful)
I swear they based the design for his cartoon\animation character off him too
He still sounds like Derek! Oh my god.
And Sandy Duncan, oh goodness me, I love her.
Hearing him talk is so sweet, he still sounds just like Derek!
Well this is a video I’d never thought I’d see...I’m not complaining at all ❤️❤️
oh god , this movie was my entire childhood
Swan Princess is such an underrated Princess movie!!! Ugh!! I love this movie so much!!
One of my absolute favorites growing up! It's a shame people sleep on this underrated classic.
The original trilogy was so beautiful! I haven't seen the newer CGI stuff but honestly it doesn't look like it has the same magic as the older ones... I will forever love the enchantment of the beginning... far longer than forever
Haru Nanase there was one where the whole plot was about squirrels kidnapping Odette because they thought she was evil incarnate
Amanda Volker sounds hilarious
Aiza you would think I’m joking but I’m not
Amanda Volker Wow...
(And I am not being sarcastic or anything)
@ichaelis ....Derek does what. \/_\/
25 years later and *he's way more handsome* than his animated counterpart. If he's a stud now, he must have been super dreamy when he was younger 💟😑
Cannot believe it’s been 25 years! The last time I saw the movie was as a high school junior nearly a decade ago. The first time was as a 2 year old in the Christmas season of 95 from Blockbuster as a double feature with Frosty the Snowman. The Swan Princess has some of the most lyrical animation I’ve ever seen. Far Longer Than Forever is my favorite song tied with Princesses on Parade!
omg i love princesses on parade and now i'm constantly singing far longer than forever in my head. this lowkey makes me sad watching this. first time i watched it was 5 years ago and i've watched it a dozen times since.
no more mr nice guy was awesome as well.
Elise Jackson No way
I LOVED this movie as a kid and I was so incredibly in love with the song "Far Longer Than Forever" I make my husband duet it with me on occasion lol
This was my favorite movie when I was a tween. I had it on VHS and watched it so much to the point where my mom actually took my tape and hid it at the top of the cupboard when we moved to our new apartment. I found it years later, and it was covered in dust and there was a dead roach in it. I ended up finding another Swan Princess VHS years later at a garage sale and played it on my VCR a few years later. I'm not a romantic person and find anything that's lovey-dovey to be kind of cheesy, but this movie will always hold a special place in my heart.
natschmat917 i wish this movie was on roku
I remembered that this was the very first princess movie I watch after immigrated to the U.S. I remembered watching this every day for weeks because the singing was so divine!
his voice is genuinely one of my favorites of all time ❤️
One of the most magical, beautiful, and lovely songs ever written Far Longer Than Forever. A song for romantics and people who love to love. A beautiful tear jerker and a very much underrated film.
These interviews really trying to make me cry gosh knowing it's 25 anniversary of the swan princess I'm 25 this is super special for me I love the movie so much even watch it still on VHS have it on VHS
This was my movieeeee!!! It taught me that men shouldn’t just be interested in you for your looks!! The “what else is there” scene taught me so much at 8 years old!!
i loved that movie soooo much and the music ugh. he's still so good looking.
He’s soooo handsome!!!
I was obsessed with The Swan Princess as a little girl 💙✨
Alright! Howard McGillin and Sandy Duncan celebrating the 25th anniversary of my childhood favorite
This was always my favorite princess film. I’ve watched it countless times. Very interesting to see the voice actors!!
Eternity the ending song as the credits roll is my favorite!!!
It's good the Howard again after 25 years.
Very first movie I remember watching as a very small toddler. Well this and All dogs go to heaven. Oh the early 90’s
Howard McGillin has such a warmth to him! Can't help but smile during his interview - he clearly enjoyed working on this film. :)
This was one of my favourite movies when I was little.
Sandy Duncan looks FABULOUS!!
Please reunite with Liz Callaway so we can see you guys singing together again 😭
I used to watch this all the time and I duet Odette/Derek songs with my brother while watching this is VHS/VCR 🥺🥺🥺
Does anyone else agree that for the potential live-action remake of The Swan Princess that Sandy Duncan should reprise her role as Queen Uberta? She's the right age to play her.
Ok childhood flashback. I have to watch this movie again ASAP. I have forgotten it.
I loved it soo much as a child! I’ve watched it all the time!
Unfortunately I was never familiar with original voices before, cause english is not my first language. But the film is so wonderful! I think I need to watch it again, but in english now! 😃
Just rewatched this movie for the billionth time today, and it never gets old, as it’s one of my favorite childhood movies.
This movie came out before I was even born and it’s my favorite 💜
This movie was my childhood. I used to watch this over and over. I’m happy this showed up in my recommendations
Yesssssss I wish someone talked to the actors from thumbelina haha
Everyone talking about Far Longer than Forever being the best song. I still listen to Eternity, anyone remember the vhs had the music video at the end of the film?
I love the swan Princess it's a sweet and Beautiful film I love the Characters of Derek and Odette
I actually introduced this movie to my students in Japan and we did a listening activity. They didn’t know of the movie.
This film made my childhood amazing. It will always have a special place in my heart. ❤️
Im the very few of my generation that watched this movie when I was a child and I loved this movie
I can't believe after all these years, Swan Princess gets featured rn!
Howard McGillin voiced Derek?! He’s one of my favorite broadway actors omg!
This is the type of content I love
These people are responsible for my childhood thank you 😋😊
“The vow was meant for her! You hear me! The bow was for heeeeerrrrrrr!!” 😭😭 god this movie brings so many memories. My sister and I used to duet the intro song. I love this movie!❤
My heart is melting!!! I grew up with the original three films. So sad that actress who voiced Odette passed away years ago. The Swan Princess will always be the iconic films of all time. 💖💖💖💖
I wondered why he never got to play Derek again in the franchise
Still adore this movie. It had a lot of elements that were important to me. I love it and always will. Watching this brought everything back. Bless!
Holy crap, he’s super attractive- and hes 66??? How???
He was 41 in Swan Princess.
He was also the phantom in the phantom of opera on Broadway
Yoooo I thought I was the only who remembered this movie lmaooo
Sandy Duncan is genuine treasure, then and now.
This was one of my favorite movies as a child! On the night before I turned 18, I finally rewatched it after many years.
Omg I loved this film!!! Definitely watching it with my three year old daughter tomorrow
If they were going to do a live-action adaptation, Sandy Duncan could definitely perform Uberta again. I would also want a way for Howard McGillin to be in there as well, even though he’s now too old to be Derek.
