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:  - Good but use caution!
While the overall storyline appeals to young kids, it is not for children! According to the story, it is perfectly acceptable for the main characters run off to the bushes to have sex. It is also perfectly acceptable for the main characters to be so self absorbed that they did not help the prince to get his kingdom, but even put him off at times (I don't understand why Prince Wendell didn't complain or run off and find a way to fight the queen himself). With teen pregnancy rates being so high, we don't need another movie that treats sex so lightly. Neither do we need to promote a selfish lifestyle, but rather a life which includes the courage to fight for something bigger than yourself. This movie could have been great...but the authors give the wrong message instead.
Rating:  - cute dvd
my kids and I loved this when it was originally sh own on tv, and we enjoyed watching it again on dvd.
cute show!
Rating: - On my top-ten list; watched many times
I have watched all seven and a half hours (or so) of this miniseries many times, and I still haven't gotten tired of it. And that is from someone who normally only watches even really good movies only once or maybe twice. Why do I love this one so much that it is in my top ten, and is also in my top ten viewed movies of all time?
The very basic plot is that Virginia (played by the very talented Kimberly Williams), a young woman still living with her father (played by the equally talented John Larroquette) in New York City, encounters a dog who is actually an enchanted prince from another dimension, the Nine Kingdoms, in which all our fairy tales actually happened.
The prince came through a magic traveling mirror to get to New York. He is followed by a trio of trolls, Burly, Blabberwort, and Bluebell, who are a bit less than the brightest bulbs in the bunch. These trolls were sent on the behest of, of course, a wicked queen (played perfectly by Dianne Wiest) who wants to take over the Nine Kingdoms, and she doesn't care who dies on the way. She's also sent Wolf (played wonderfully by Scott Cohen), a man who is part werewolf and considerably brighter than the trolls, after the trolls to make sure they do a good job.
Trolls, prince, Wolf, Virginia, and her father all end up back in the Nine Kingdoms. Through various events, Virginia and her father quickly find themselves trapped there, and much of the movie *seems* to be about the two of them, traveling with the ... Read More
