Critic Reviews

Desmond Ryan

Modest, unassuming fare for younger children. Read full review

Jay Carr

The film is gentle and carries a simple moral.

Stephen Holden

A bland, well-meaning mishmash that never coheres into a dramatic whole. Read full review

Paul Malcolm

At times, both swans and humans appear oddly out of sync with their flat backgrounds, while the film's few musical flights of fancy never achieve visual liftoff. Read full review

Film.com Tom Keogh

As with most non-Disney animated features, Trumpet of the Swan does make the Mouse look like a genius. Read full review

Jan Stuart

Nothing quite works about The Trumpet of the Swan, one of those animated films that make you realize how hard it is to strike the right tone for a family film. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Frank Lovece

Stiffly animated and featuring uninspired songs. Read full review

This film is far too childish for any adult's liking and the music becomes so boring that most people would switch the TV off before half-way through.
