Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Tenth Kingdom, an epic 10-hour miniseries from the Emmy-winning screenwriter of Gulliver 's Travels, was a ratings failure when broadcast on US television, but on video and DVD, where it can be enjoyed at one's leisure, it has a better chance to cast its magical spell. Kimberly Williams has never been more enchanting than as Virginia, a waitress who still lives with her janitor father (John Larroquette) and yearns for something exciting to happen to her. Her wish comes true when she and her father are transported from New York City into a dimension that, with apologies to Rod Serling, can only be called the "Fairy Tale Zone"; nine kingdoms populated by characters from fairy tales of yore. They team up with a dog who's really a prince--Wendell, grandson of Snow White--changed into canine form by the evil Queen (Dianne Wiest), who plots to usurp Wendell's throne. Father, daughter, and his royal dogness are relentlessly pursued through the nine kingdoms by the Troll King (Ed O'Neill) and his three bumbling and horrible children, and the conflicted Wolf (Scott Cohen), who is allied with the Queen but, with the aid of some Oprah-esque self-help books, tames his inner beast and falls in love with Virginia.

The Tenth Kingdom is also a special effects extravaganza. There is indeed, as one character marvels, "magic to behold". But despite the Hallmark brand name and the presence of a grown-up Snow White (Camryn Manheim) and Cinderella (Ann-Margret), bewitched animals, magic mirrors and trolls, this is not kid's stuff. It can get scary, surprisingly violent and quite intense, just like real fairy tales. --Donald Liebenson, Amazon.com



Synopsis

For all ages this is a fairy tale which reflects modern society and told in a good vs evil way.

5.0 out of 5 stars For everybody who loves fairytales, 5 Jun 2006
This review is from: The 10th Kingdom [DVD] [2000] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This three disk story is fantasic. From the opening sequence to the closing scenes you will be struck by the beauty of the film. There are hints of the original Disney cartoons in the colouring which help to draw the viewer in to the magic of the overall story. It is a story of courage, honour, and how love can overcome almost everything - with a land war thrown in to-boot! After you have watched this your faith in true love will be rejuvenated!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fantasy story, 1 of a kind, 6 Nov 2005
This review is from: The 10th Kingdom [DVD] [2000] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I sat down with my family and began to watch the first episode, immediately I was lost into a fantasy world of fantasy. The actors are brilliant and the story is well thought of, I watched this when I was young and now im older and I still remember it.

The story is about a waitress who finds a dog who was once a prince and she, her father and a wolf go on an adventure to bring the prince back to his human form in time for his ceremony. Of course they get into lots of different adventures on the way and the story makes you feel as though you’re there with them

This is truly a wonderful long film and is great for kids and adults alike, if you’re thinking of buying it, buy it

5.0 out of 5 stars An Essentail Item, that you must have!, 19 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The 10th Kingdom [DVD] [2000] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
The first time i saw The 10th Kingdom, i was a fan straight away, it was like being brought back to your child hood, with the magic and all the fairy tale stories, and yet it had an appeal to an older audience, i taped it off the tv, but when i get, my next pay check, i will buy not 1 but 2 as i have roped my family into enjoying it as well, the 10th Kingdom is an ESSENTAIL ITEM for your DVD collection. If you have bought it yet, what are you waiting for!
