Storyline

Two centuries after Snow White and Cinderella had their adventures, the Nine Kingdoms ready themselves for the coronation of Prince Wendel, Snow White's grandson, to the throne of the Fourth Kingdom. But an evil once-queen has freed herself from prison, and turns the prince into a golden retriever. Wendel, by means of a magic mirror, escapes into a hitherto-unknown Tenth Kingdom (modern day New York City) and meets Virginia and her father Tony. Pursued by trolls, cops, and a wolf in man's form, the three blunder back into the Nine Kingdoms and begin their adventures to restore Wendel to his human form and throne, and find the magic mirror that will take Tony and Virginia back home, all the while unknowing that Virginia already has a connection to the Nine Kingdoms that may prove deadly before we reach Happily Ever After.

Goofs

In the scene with the gypsies the Huntsman shoots a tree with his crossbow, to send a note that all poachers will be killed. Later, when Virginia is in the tree, the Huntsman tells her that the arrow from his crossbow will not stop until it hits the heart of a living being. However, the arrow would be able to pierce the tree to its core, also called its "heartwood", when delivering the note.

User Reviews

How much I enjoyed this movie.

In this movie there were so many great things that not only brought up childhood memories but it also brought back an imagination to people all over the world. When I first watched the series on TV, it was like watching something that you could read in a book. Everything looked and sounded real. While watching this movie when Virginia losses her mother for the second time its just so hard to understand why this is happening to this young girl even though it is just a movie. This movie can actually take you to any of the nine kingdoms to explore with them. I really love this movie because its just so magical and so beautiful that really no words could describe how good this movie is. There are not enough hours in the day to be able to watch this movie. If I had the opportunity to watch this movie all of the time then I would.
