  Well I always thought E. B. White's The Trumpet of the Swan would make a beautiful movie, and look what we got! And why did some of the swans have "hair"? The baby swans, or cygnets, which in real life would be a brownish-gray color and would have downy feathers, were just mini-versions of the adult swans. And Louie (Louis in the book) plays the trumpet using his wings as hands. In the book, he has his human friend Sam Beaver slit the webbing in his foot so he can play the trumpet easier, even though it prevented him from swimming and walking as well as he used to. I think they could have done a helluva lot better with this film, so much of the natural beauty of the book was taken from it. E. B. White must be turning over in his grave. I'm a huge animated film buff, but I have my limits. This film is one of them. After watching a purchased copy I threw it in the trash, good place for it.
