A tale about a trumpet swan named Louie who receives a voice only after his father risks all to steal a trumpet for him. Developing a valuable relationship with Sam, a young boy who becomes his friend and mentor, Louie becomes a famous musician in order to earn enough money to pay back the music store owner for the lost instrument. In the process, he also wins the heart of the lovely Serena and, in the end, the two trumpeter swans live happily ever after.

Features charmless songs, junky animation, hambone voice talent.

Too bad the director didn't set his mind to making a film parents could enjoy, too.

Passable animation for the younger members of the family, but the movie never finds its own voice.

One ugly duckling of a cartoon.

Top Critic

A shallow, tacky, finally soupy revision of a wry, noticing, resonant, elegant, deeply romantic story.
