The Trumpet of the Swan is a 2001 animated film produced by RichCrest Animation Studios, and directed by Richard Rich. It is loosely based on the popular children's book by E.B. White. It tells the story of a young Trumpeter Swan who is born without a voice and is vying for the attention of a beautiful pen named Serena. He overcomes this by learning to play the trumpet. It stars the voices of Reese Witherspoon, Jason Alexander, Seth Green, Carol Burnett, Joe Mantegna and Mary Steenburgen. In 2001, it was nominated by the Casting Society of America for best voice-casting in an animated film, but lost the award to Disney-backed "The Emperor's New Groove". It is notable, however, that an independent animated film would be able to win such a nomination.
