the princess and the twelve swans?? *help*
hi, i'm desperately looking for a video that i watched when i was younger. it was around the early 90's. i'm sure everyone is familiar with the grimms story about the princess and her brothers getting transformed into swans. i know there are many versions of the story made to video, but the one that i saw as a child was more animatedly drawn. the princess actually had brown hair and wasn't a blonde. the king (father) was only able to go to his children's hidden home by following the bouncing yellow yarnball. if i remember correctly, the movie was titled "the princess and the twelve swans" but i'm having no luck when i search for that title. i am getting other titles i.e. the 7 swans, the swan princess, the twelve swans...but none is the one i am looking for. so if anyone knows which video i am talking about, please respond back! :D

The Three Ravens?
The princess in Jim Henson's Storyteller version is a brunette, and the king follows a ball of string to his children's secret place, but it's live action... that wouldn't by any chance be what you're remembering?

Re: The Three Ravens?
thank you for replying. but no the movie i saw was animation. i've searched everywhere for it. the imdb movie data base doesnt even have a listing for that title. i could be wrong, i try switching around the title but still no luck.

Re: The Three Ravens?
Could it have been the Wild Swans found on this DVD? It might be the same on the VHS tape previously mentioned, but I'm not sure.
