Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very enjoyable
This must have been a two part mini series. We started the movie, got a long ways in, and it said to be continued. The second part is also on this DVD. I think it is about 3 hour long total on the 1 DVD disk. The story is fine, and the filming is good. Over all an excelent choice to sit back an enjoy a long pleasent relaxing evening.
Rating:  - Some original ideas diluted with too many old ones
Hallmark releases about 1 - 2 fantasy movies per year, and this one starring Beau Bridges is probably one of the worst ones of this decade. The story is simple enough, a widowed father and his two daughters travel to a magical kingdom while chased by trolls. In the kingdom, they meet up with the Minotaur, Medusa, Oberon and Titania from Shakespeare's play, more trolls, a dragon, nymphs, and an assortment of other characters. The father is a professor, and in the magical kingdom he is prophesized to save them from the trolls.
If this movie came out in 2008, I would say it was a cheap knockoff of the LOTR, Harry Potter, Narnia and Stardust movies. But since it was actually released in 2001, it seems more like a cheap knockoff of other Hallmark movies. Here are some examples. The principal character is a single father with two daughters. In Hallmark's "The Tenth Kingdom" and "Snow White", the principal characters were a single father and his daughter. In this movie, our traveling family encounter a wide array of mythical and fairy tale creatures while sailing on a ship thru a magic kingdom. In "The Tenth Kingdom", the father/daughter duo encounter a wide array of fairy tale creatures while traveling thru a magic kingdome. In Hallmark's "Gulliver's Travels", Gulliver encounters a wide array of characters while sailing around the world. Then we have the part about a prophecy. Again, we can look at Harry Potter, Narnia, LOTR, and every other fantasy movie/book out there. The ... Read More

My daughter loves this movie! When I saw it was available, I immediately ordered it. My daughter has watched it repeatedly since it arrived with great satisfaction. Thank you for an outstanding product in great condition.
Rating: - Greatest Movie I Ever Saw!
I began to watch this movie wondering what it would be like. It was completely different from what I imagined, but, what else is new? The Voyage of The Unicorn was a really good movie, with both good parts and one or to bad parts. The only bad part I can think of is when they had the nerve to make Medusa very un-Medusa-like. She didn't even have WINGS! And, everyone knows that Medusa is supposed to be ugly. In this movie, she was actually quite pretty! Oh, and by the way, fairies don't have vampire teeth like the Fairy Queen did. That was really weird. And I didn't even know she was a queen or a fairy, much less a Fairy Queen. The costuming was pretty good, though. They looked recognizable as trolls, and at least they thought to give Sebastian pointy ears. And the unicorn looked great, just like a real unicorn. The small fairies looked like fairies should, too. The dragon looked liked a dragon, and not like some overgrown winged lizard. The settings looked really nice, too. And when Miranda was thinking about her mother, it looked like she was thinking, and not as if it was just happening right then and there.
Rating: - Fun fantasy for the whole family
I started watching this nearly 3 hour film not knowing what to expect. Would it be some generic fantasy adventure with a lot of exploration and a bunch of random encounters, all culminating in a big war scene at the end? That seems to be the formula these days, and I wasn't looking forward to seeing the same formula done again unless it was done with interesting twists.
What I got was a surprisingly different take on the fantasy adventure genre from what I was used to.
"Voyage of the Unicorn" doesn't waste time setting things up. Early in the film, Goblins storm a family's home with the intent to capture them. The father, Alan, and daughters Miranda and Cassie, find a ship in their hometown being piloted by an elf and a drawf, and end up using it to magically escape to same fantasy land - the very same one their pursuers had come from. Before long, they learn that they are heroes foretold of in a prophecy, and it is up to them to prevent the goblins from storming the "real world" and taking it over. The family is naturally not too happy about this, but they're told that even if the prophecy isn't true, they'll have to stop the goblins anyway or risk having to hide from them their entire lives. After all, the goblins believe in the prophecy, and they're not happy about what it means for them.
There are a number of fairly original ideas in this movie. For example, ever notice how often it is that you see a kids' movie where the kids have to save the world without ... Read More
