Swan Lake

Swan Lake (世界名作童話 白鳥の湖 Sekai Meisaku Dōwa Hakuchō no Mizūmi) is an anime film based on the ballet Swan Lake by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. The film was released in Japan on 14 March 1981 by Toei. The film was produced by Toei Animation of Japan in partnership with Soyuzmultfilm from the Soviet Union and directed by Kimio Yabuki. The adaptation uses Tchaikovsky's score and remains relatively faithful to the story.

Dubbing History
The film was originally dubbed in 1981 by Frontier Enterprises in Tokyo. This dub would be released on VHS by Hi-Tops Video in the late 1980's.

Sometime in the mid to late 1980's, an alternate dub was produced by Metro Goldwyn Mayer at Golden Sync Studios, and featured celebrities as the main principles (Pam Dawber, Christopher Atkins, David Hemmings, and Kay Lenz). Directed by Ardwight Chamberlain, the film was better in voice syncing. This dub would air on American Movie Classics in December 1990 and The Disney Channel in June 1994. It was distributed in the United States and Canada by The Samuel Goldwyn Company. The dub would not see any home video release until 2017, when Discotek Media gave the film a DVD release with both dubs and the original Japanese audio.
