This epic 10-hour miniseries from the Emmy-winning writer of Gulliver's Travels was a ratings bust on 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 10th Kingdom is a special effects extravaganza. There is indeed, as one character marvels, magic to behold here. 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; you know, just like real fairy tales. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - A very Good Movie
If you like Fantasy movies, this movie is awesome! Its a bit long..about 7 hours or so but it has a very good storyline. I would really recommend this movie. :)
Rating: - Great Movie for All Ages
As an elementary school teacher, I think that there is a small bit of language that I would not want my students to hear but I think overall it is a great movie for the young and the old. It has an imaginative plot with many interesting twists and turns. The acting is great. There are a lot of characters and sometimes is hard to follow but with a few pauses here and there and a few rewinds, it is easy to figure out. I think this is a great investment. $12.99 is a steal! I highly recommend this movie.
Rating:  - great but long
This movie is really good. It has a mixture of some of Disney's classics, like Snow White and Cinderella. It is unusually long though. It is so long in fact, that it has to be on three different discs. It does have some parts that may be unsuitable for children, but that's the parents' decision. The 10th Kingdom is actually New York. Trolls found themselves there and have never seen it before, so they claimed it as the 10th Kingdom. Where they were orginally, there were nine kingdoms. Well, Virginia and her father end up in the magical world of the ninth kingdom, and the only way back to New York is though a specific mirror. While on their journey to find this mirror, they meet some strange beings, like a werewolf, an evil queen, a lying frog, and a singing ring. Watching it was an enjoyable experience.
Rating:  - Would not recommend this movie for children to watch!
This movie is a great disappointment. I only had to watch a few minutes of it before I had to turn it off for its vulgarities and sexual innuendos. For certain, I would not let any children watch this low quality movie.
Rating: - One of the BEST fantasy movies of all time!!!
The 10th Kingdom is a wonderful movie about an average girl transported into the fairytale world. Unlike our Disney adaptations of the orginal Grimm fairy tales, these fairytale characters are a bit meaner. I loved this DVD set as apposed to the crappy VHS one and was excited for all the extra scenes. DEFINATLY worth EVERY penny.
