We're kicking off the 2025 season of our podcast by checking off a New Year's resolution we've held for many years... that's right, we're finally taking a look at a non-Swan Princess adaptation of the Swan Lake story. Specifically, we're taking a look at Swan Lake, Toei Animation's 1981 adaptation of the classic ballet story. Come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) villains you wanna redeem, barn owls being the softest owls to pet, and whether or not this film ends with a bunch of ghosts or if Kristi just pulled that interpretation out of thin air.
