Odette, the young baker's daughter, follows a unicorn into an Enchanted Forest. While there, she is transformed into a swan by Rothbart, an evil wizard that wants to take over the Forest. The Fairy Queen is able to counter Rothbart's spell so that Odette retains her human form by night but mystically transforms into a swan by day. Odette learns that, even though she feels she is the wrong person for the task, it is her destiny to save the Enchanted Forest from Rothbart.
