Summary: A great idea wasted by a typical television approach.
Review: I bought the DVD set based on some of the customer reviews here, but I can't imagine what show they were watching. This could have fantastic, if only the premise had been put in the hands of someone with real imagination and the courage to try to do something different than standard american TV fare. As it is, we sat for long stretches between the bits of actual entertainment that peeked through now and then. What a waste.

Summary: A very entertaining piece of Mini-Series History!
Review: .... TO truly enjoy this movie you must realize that modern versions of fairy tales are not the original. "Happily ever after" was invented by disney and has only intensified since the early 20th century. In most FTs the main character was tortured or died to bring the moral accross to the children. With that in mind this movie brings "the true nature" of fairy tales to light in making the characters 3d. Although there is a fair bit of cynicism. Since it is a mini series there is a lot of "slap stick" involved to keep the flow going. The actors usually deliver a decent performance but there are weak points.
Remember though this is entertainment and therfore should be viewed as such. While I give this a 5 I would see how people might give it a 3. I would not recommend this to peaople looking for a "disneyfied" Fairy Tale.

Summary: Awesome Story
Review: This is probably one of the most imaginative and stunning movie i've ever seen. This movie combines many different fairytale story and makes one big adventure. Virginia (a waitress) and her father (a mechanic) are off into a unknown world to help a prince (whom was turned into a dog) and save the 9 kingdoms. They run into trolls, talking animals, socerers, and many other characters as they try to find the evil witch and stop her before she tries to destroy their world. She has been trained and given magic by the evil stepmother (of snow white). Having all this at hand, the evil witch goes out to conquer the 9 kingdoms. I won't say more but this is a must buy. I love how they took many different children fairytales and be able to bring them all together into one story. Very beautiful scenaries and great characters. I had originally bought this series on NBC after i saw it on tv. But i've just purchased the dvd. I don't think this was meant for younger viewers. I would say PG-13. This may be a bunch of fairytales but there are some content that is not really meant for kids. There is no nudity or sexual content. Minor blood and gore (very little throughout story). Overall it is a GREAT MOVIE! DON'T MISS OUT!!!

Summary: Favorite Fairy Tales Rolled Up Into One With A Twist
Review: Even though I have forgotten some of the movie, since it aired a couple of months ago, I still remember loving it. It isn't the typical fairy tale where everything is peachy keen, which is refreshing. I remember them delving more in-depth into some fairy tales, which I also love. I did get feel that the actress that played Virgina was a litte.....emotionless at times. But, that doesn't spoil the movie at all. Wolf is absolutely lovable, and the ending just begs for a sequel. Hopefully, there's a sequel. *crosses fingers*.

Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!
Review: This is an excellent film, 2nd best only to Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings".
Also... it isn't a movie for kids.
This is adult stuff...
...
I think kids enjoy it very much, they simply cann't understand some scenes (think Virginia caressing Wolf tail! :-) :-) and it's usually too long for them to watch.
Other scenes are simply so sad (the Huntsman retrieving the spear from the gipsy wolf boy!!! ).
Overall, ****** (six!) stars
PS: The Wolf and the three troll brothers are wonderfull to watch.

Summary: A Magical Fairy-Tale For Adults
Review: Any fan of smart-mouthed fantasy such as Buffy and Angel, couldn't fail to love this spectacular and consistently funny multi-part 'mini' series. Ten hours has never passed so quickly. Managing to preserve all the mystery and often quite disturbing undertone of the Grimm Fairy Tales, the series also provides pathos in the form of the lovely Virginia's (Kimberly Williams)struggle to come to terms with the loss of her Mother and sweet, gut-twisting romance in her complex relationship with the troubled Wolf (Scott Cohen). Aside from which there are laughs a plenty from the truly astounding supporting cast and enough nastiness to keep even big boys happy. The often surprising violence means it's not for children, but adults will appreciate the lack of the cutesy and it's witty confidential tone. Just the thing for a weekend at home, crack open the Jacob's Creek, unplug the phone and prepare to immerse yourself in movie magic.

Summary: I would give this a 0 if I could
Review: Okay......Amazon reviewers! I bought this movie on your recommendation because nearly everyone here said it was a good flick. This movie was ridiculous! I don't have one positive thing to say about any aspect of the made for television movie. I will just list my complaints and hope that I can deter some other hapless reader from making a mistake with this purchase. 1. The movie did not have a plot or moral.
2. It was entirely too long.
3. Although I seen a few recongnizable and well established actors....none of them seemed to be trying hard to do their job.
4. This is not a fairy tale.
5. The movie is not funny....well the ring was funny, but the dang thing only gets like 3 minutes of screen time.
6. The movie was boring and silly.
7. Did I mention it was too long!
8. It is not a movie meant for kids....or adults for that matter. Maybe it is meant for those of with IQs lower then 5.
9. It disgraces true fairy tales and in the same process mocks them with its disgusting premise.
10. IT'S TOO LONG TO BE ABOUT NOTHING! Well that is my opinion and of course I am only one reviewer, but beware hapless buyer because this is definitely a waste of money and time.
