Summary: Nicey Nice!
Review: Very funny, witty and mostly entertaining. Once you start waching, you want to watch all the discs straight through. The menu's "intro" of this miniseries is absolutely amazingly beautiful, watch it first. If there's anything negative about this film, it's that not all of the jokes work(-which is practically a law in these kinds of films). Some of the funny things end up being just silly and almost stupid. But there's only couple of those. All in all; this movie will move you as well as make you laugh.The cover and the intro might give you the idea that New York is being transformed into a fairytale land in this film. Fortunately this isn't the case, there's a good plot and most of the events take place in another kingdom- the 9th kingdom. And another thing you don't want to be fooled in: this is a fairytale for adults and teenagers, not for children.

Summary: An Adult Fairy Tale
Review: When this Miniseries orignally premired on NBC in 2000, many critics gave it mixed reviews. They all found it to be an intertaining story, and with its merits, but they all said that a 5-part miniseries spread across 3 weeks, is not the way to tell a story. And in a way they were right. The Ratings for part 1 were great, but with each passing episode they got lower, and lower. The movie eventually left the TV and the minds of America. But then came the DVD, which is the best way to view this film. With the DVD a new legion of fans surfaced, and they made this movie a cult classic. With a running time of a little over 7 1/2 hours, this movie will take 2 or 3 nights to finish, but It is well worth it. The movie itself centers around a young woman who lives in New York City who wishing something Exciting would happen to her, and she gets her wish, when a young prince from the 9 kingdom's literally runs her over. But the prince has been turned into a dog, and he needs the girl and her father to return with him to the 9 kingdoms so they can overthrow the his wicked stepmother, and become the king he should be. The movie has numerous jokes hidden within it, like the "Tooth Fairy," and the "7 small beds," and other surpsies hidden within it. But the one bad aspect of this movie, is that fact that it will not be understood by younger children (I have found that my 5 year old neice doesn't understand it, but my 13 yearold cousin, does understand most of it). I myself watching it again 4 years later understand and get alot more of the adult humor (i was 12 when i orignally watched it). This is a great movie to add to any collect, and you can't beat the price for a DVD that runs more than 7 hours.

Summary: 9 year old loves it!
Review: My now nine year old loves this movie. We actually watched it as the mini-series when she was six and ordered the VHS tape then. She watches it at least 3 times a year and bothered by has asked for it on DVD. She loves the fantasy and the trolls and how good can conquer evil. How love can change the way we look at things, and if you keep trying you can accomplish even the things that seem unreachable. What a great movie to watch as a family!!

Summary: A Magical Journey for all!! Don't leave your pets behind..
Review: I was sitting at home in the dark thinking about how the muppets from the Dark Crystal were after me, and that Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) would be there to save me. Help! Help! When a knock on my door shattered the darkness. I thought it was it another door to door sales man trying to sell re-runs of Stargate SG-1 the series. Thank god it wasn't! It was my girlfriend holding a movie she bought. It was called The 10th Kingdom. I never heard about this mini-series before, until my girlfriend showed it to me. At first I was only going to watch the first disc, but I found myself taken in by the first ten mins. The 10th Kingdom is a great DVD to own. Its got all the things you loved about those classic fairy tales. Snow White, Cinderella, Bean Stalks, Wolves, Bo-peep and her sheep, and much more. From the openning, I could tell this was a work of magic. Watching New York City change into a world where anything is possible. The CG work is very excellent. Its easy to get behind all the characters. Who ever thought that Dianne Wiest (from Parenthood, Lost Boys, etc.) could play such a evil wicked lady. I always thought she was so nice and frail till I seen her in this movie. John Larroquette is hilarious! Janitor? Criminal? Father? He definetly brings his touch of gold to this film.
And Scott Cohen and Kimberly Williams...can you say chemistry? Can you say...WOOF! WOOF! And Ed O'Neil can't seem to get away from being the father of troll children. And Rutger Hauer is terrifying as hell as the Huntsman. A man that lives in the forrest, that never misses his target. The writing is funny, yet serious at times. A very great blend. Such so, it reminds me a bit of Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). There really isn't enough words that can express how much I enjoyed this movie. It was worth the wait. If you loved all those Fairy Tales as a kid and wish to see what it would be like if in some universe or other planet...like Pluto. Those stories really were true, and they really did live happily ever after. The 10th Kingdom shows us were they got those stories from. A place were dreams are reality, reality is a nightmare. I give two thumbs up to Simon Moore (EXCELLENT DUDE!). If you don't have this in your private collection of movies next to David Bowie in spandix singing "Dance Magic Dance." I'll send you a basket of apples from the evil Swamp Lady...har har har!!

Summary: An awful film.
Review: They say this wasn't a hit when it was on television and it's easy to see why. This is by far the worst attempt at a faiy tale I've ever seen. Its about these people who travel into another world where they arn't supposed to know anybody or anything. Yet they seem aware of how everthing works, from how to read english to how to navigate New York city. The characters are all portrayed as dumb and bumbling which makes them hard to like. The whole film is a product of poor writing and even worst directing. The whole movie is explained in the first 30 mins so you don't need to watch last 3 or 4 hours of it. I'm sure very small children mite find this film interesting and maybe entertaining but any (...). Don't waste your money on buying it but if you really want to see it then rent it.

Summary: Step Into My Mirror
Review: Incredible...the adventure begins before you know what hits you, and keeps you enthralled (in the best fairy tale sense) until the end. You find yourself saying "Be careful what you wish for...you might get it!" to some of the characters, and the film's creators even managed to get in some sly comments about ecological practices, and make you wonder about the diversity of life in the Nine Kingdoms, and how it came to be. The masterful way the "real" story blends with the fairy tale, and the hidden horror underneath the stardust that you are never given full view of until the very end makes this a fantasy that will live in your heart far longer than the monolithic grandeur of The Lord Of The Rings. This movie proves that heroes can come from those we reject, and their victory will surprise not only us, but themselves as well.

Summary: Much better the 2ed time around with no commercials
Review: I first saw this series on TV when it aired, and it got bogged down with captions of action every time it took a commercial and way too many commercials that it lost its potency. Its presentation on tv was sour distraction, taking away from the story itself. I bought the DVD and watched all 400 min in one evening. Its make you smile fun, much more concentrated than it was when it aired on tv. The rich stories of all the kingdoms makes you think of their dynamics. For anyone interested in a fairy tale that you think about its complexity afterwards, take an few evenings and watch it on DVD. I hope a sequel is made.

Summary: Addictive
Review: I stumbled across this miniseries when it was on television. I was flipping channels and an image of a man being tried by a jury of sheep caught my attention--as I think it would for most people. I then rented the short version from the video store, but discovered that I would need my own copy, so I ordered the full movie from the NBC store. If you loved fairy tales as a child, this series is for you. It answers the question, "What happened next?" What happened after Snow White married the prince? What did the dwarves do after Snow White left them? The movie follows Virginia and Tony Lewis, who travel through a magic mirror to the Nine Kingdoms, where the Grimm Brothers fairy tales are all history, not fantasy. Virginia and Tony must travel through many of the kingdoms in pursuit of the mirror before they can return home. The spoofing of fairy tales is excellent, and the more familiar you are with fairy tales, the more you'll enjoy this series. It can be dark and violent, like all fairy tales, so I wouldn't recommend it for young children. Unlike fairy tales, there is plenty of humor to move the story along--an appearance by Ann Margaret as a 300-year old Cinderella who has apparently had magic surgery done, three bumbling trolls who believe Virginia to be a powerful witch because they return from the "10th Kingdom" (a.k.a. modern day New York) with a stereo that only seems to play "Saturday Night Fever" by "the brothers Gibb," and a sheep-song singing contest which features a very suggestive "Little Bo Peep" song and a very rousing "We Will Sheer You" that Queen is probably not too thrilled about. It's simply delightful IF you are a fan of fairy tales. Highly recommended.
