* AdaptationalUgliness: In the original ballet, Odile is Odette's IdenticalStranger (and is [[ActingForTwo usually played by the same ballerina]] to enforce this). Here, Odile is an unpleasant-looking EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette who only looks like Odette when disguised by a magic illusion.



* NeverTrustATrailer: Most promos and tv spots feature a scene of Odette and Daniel dancing in the ballroom. In the actual film, Daniel is actually dancing with Odile, who is under a spell to make her look like Odette to Daniel so he can pledge his love to her.

They spend most of the film searching for her offscreen and have no idea what's happened to her. The fact that someone is actively trying to ''kill her'' during this period makes it even worse.

During her first meeting with Daniel, Odette exploits this to protect him from Rothbart's wrath.



* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** A downplayed example early in the movie: while Lila is running from the villagers, one manages to throw a lasso around her neck and pulls it tight. Lila takes advantage of a nearby axe to cut the rope. The sudden loss of tension makes the unfortunate man lose his balance and fall into a crate full of fruit, much to the amusement of nearby onlookers.
** Rothbart takes the Crystal for himself after tricking Daniel into [[spoiler:removing its powers]]. However, when [[spoiler:Daniel and Odette die [[HeroicSacrifice while trying to protect each other from his magic]], their love restores the Crystal's power and it destroys him]].



* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Lila spends the initial part of Rothbart's first confrontation with Odette boasting about how the appearance of TheChosenOne means he's doomed. While Rothbart probably wasn't going to let Odette escape unharmed in any case, Lila's taunting certainly doesn't help the situation.
** Daniel falls for the false Odette (actually Odile in disguise) hook, line, and sinker and promises to marry her. This betrayal makes the Crystal lose its protective power, leaving the real Odette vulnerable to Rothbart's magic.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain:
** When Odette first learns that she's TheChosenOne, she thinks there must be some mistake and decides to go home, reluctantly leaving the residents of the Enchanted Forest to their fates. Then Rothbart shows up and transforms her into a swan, essentially forcing her to defeat him if she ever wants to return to a normal life.
** After tricking Daniel into de-powering the Crystal, Rothbart [[spoiler:takes it for himself]]. This proves to be his downfall when Daniel and Odette [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice are blasted with magic while trying to protect each other]]. Their love restores the Crystal's power, and it promptly destroys him]].

to:

* RagsToRoyalty: Odette is a Cinderella example of this. She's a humble baker's daughter who has only ever seen Prince Daniel from afar until they meet in the Enchanted Forest and fall in love.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Though the Fairy Queen is clearly disappointed by Odette's RefusalOfTheCall, she immediately admits that it would be wrong to force Odette to fight Rothbart and doesn't try to stop her from leaving the Enchanted Forest. She also shows no resentment after Rothbart [[NiceJobFixingItVillain forces the issue by changing Odette into a swan]], instead rushing to Odette's aid and doing everything in her power to help her.


Added DiffLines:

* PragmaticVillainy: Rothbart does an excellent job of this. As soon as he learns that Odette has been identified as the one destined to defeat him, he tries to get her out of the way--first by cursing her into the form of a swan, and then by outright trying to kill her. When the Crystal prevents him from doing the latter, he lures Daniel to the Enchanted Forest to finish the job for him. Daniel refuses to cooperate, so Rothbart learns the Crystal's weakness and instead tricks him into stripping Odette of its protection.
