User Reviews

Beautiful!

A love story like a fairy tale with Samaire Armstrong as the Princess and a hot Latin as the Prince! Her father prevents them from being together and when they dream of each other we see it in ANIMATION! The most creative film I've seen in a long time. I felt so much for the characters, for June, routing for her to be set free.

Happy to be invited to a private screening, to enter a new world and be taken out of my seat. I close my eyes and can still picture June pretending to fly over the Pacific. So dreamlike and such a change to most of everything we see now which is this horrible, bland reality. It's been several weeks and I still think of the film, which is why I'm writing this review - a true original! Thank you!
