All the actors except Wallace Shawn and George Carlin voiced their parts in Los Angeles, California. Carlin voiced his roll in Las Vegas over the phone, and Shawn voiced his role from New York. For this reason, Andy Dick, whose character shares scenes with Shawn's character throughout the film, would impersonate Shawn's part while doing his. See more »

Rick:
...I'll give you the lowdown on Fairytale Land. Yeah, the name's kind of corny, but we had to call it something and "Canada" was already taken.

I really don't understand all of the venom and vitriol directed at this cute little film. Is it a cinematic masterpiece? No, but it's hardly the worst children's animated film you'll ever see. (I leave that honor to the horror that is DOOGLE.) The ill-fated romance between Rick and Ella seems genuine enough -- it makes you take a second look at the classic fairy tale and ask the question, "what is so all-fired wonderful about Price Charming, anyway?" The casting was appropriate -- anything featuring the underused Wallace Shawn can't be all bad -- and the acting was fine, if not Oscar-worthy.
Again, is this film on the level of SHREK or ICE AGE, or anything by Pixar? Of course not. But is it better than a lot of the animated children's films that have come out lately? Absolutely.
