Trivia

EASTER EGG: There are several faces hidden in the image throughout the movie. An easter egg on the DVD shows you where they are. To access this feature, go to "Special Features" section and there select the menu entry for "Prince Charmont's Fan Club". On the next page, use the directional keys on your remote control to highlight the Prince's face in the heart between the "Exit" and "Play" buttons. Now press the Enter key and you will have the chance to see a brief featurette on the different hidden faces. If you don't have the DVD, here's the list of hidden faces in order of appearance: 1. During the opening pan across the countryside, when you see the unicorn, the side of the wall where the branches are broken forms the silhouette of a face in profile. The broken part of the wall makes the forehead, nose, and mouth; the branches make the hair, eyebrow, and eye. 2&3. There are two hidden faces in the pages of the magic book when Mandy (Minnie Driver) first opens it. 4. When Prince Char and Ella see the giants working in the field, there's a face hidden in the hill on the left side. You can see it in the shot that starts on the guard towers and pans right to the field (the last shot of the giants). It might also be visible in the very first shot of the giants, but only in the wide-screen version. 5. When Ella is chained to the tree, there is a small face hidden in the middle of the tree in between the two outreached branches (that look like short arms). It can be very hard, if not impossible, to see on some copies of the film (especially if the print is kinda dark). See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Narrator: Fairy tales tell, as their labels imply / Stories of magic, of creatures that fly / With giants and dragons and ogres and elves / And inanimate objects that speak for themselves / There's romance and danger and plotting of schemes / There's good guys...
