This is a lovely family/children's movie. It is a unique fairy tale that, though not very complex (remember it is mainly for children) is very clever and quite funny at times. The acting is very good and the sets and costumes are exquisite. I was thoroughly entertained and wish there were more movies like this out there. I rate movies by how much I wish they would not end so quickly, and this one was over far too fast.
I am a big Tim Curry fan, and while this part did not really showcase his abilities, I still appreciated seeing him in this kind of movie. The characters are very rich and the attention to detail made some of the scenes magical. If you enjoy fairy tales don't pass this movie up!
