The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

"Pert from the front and a vision from behind" - This is such a wonderful televisual experience that I have to watch the whole mini-series once a year at least. It is a superb fairy tale loosely based on all your favourite child-hood tales from the Brothers Grimm, with an obligatory trip to the tenth kingdom (New York, of course). The ensemble cast are superb (except, maybe, for the disappointing performances from Ann-Margret and Snow White, which are based more on renown than upon suitability for the role!) Dianne Wiest once again proves that she deserves an award for every production in which she appears. She is ably supported by the wonderful Scott Cohen (where was his Emmy for this role?) and Kimberly Williams. John Larroquette is at his very best as the NY janitor who proves that whatever can goes wrong will go wrong. Rutger Hauer creates one of his best characters since he appeared in Bladerunner and the trolls are superb: "suck an elf" is such a well crafted catch-phrase and the general incompetence of the three children of the Troll King is amply demonstrated by the wonderful self-description "I am Bluebell the troll, terrified throughout the Nine Kingdoms". The Shepherdess competition is a sublime piece of television - no-one will ever hear "We will rock you" again without a small smile as "we will shear you" comes to mind. Watch this, love this, watch it again!

this film was written by Simon Moore and produced by Robert Halmi. The movie starts out in modern-day New York, following a girl named Virginia and her father, Anthony. Then in a different realm where Cinderella, Snow White, and Little Red Ridding Hood were once rulers of the land. Prince Wendell, the grandson of Snow White Gets turned into a golden retriever by his step mother, the evil queen. When the evil queen sends trolls after him to kill him, he finds a way to escape by running through a magic mirror. This is when he runs in to Virginia and their journey begins. One of my favorite characters is Wolf. I like him because he is relatable. because people judge him by his appearance because he has a tail and then they run away. And assume that he is always to blame. This is relatable because it is very easy to del like an outcast and that everything is your fault some times. This film is very unique because it gives a good twist on classic fairy tales. one of my favorite clips from the movie is when Virginia is try to win a competition by singing we will rock you in a lame remix( have to watch the movie to find out what that means). this movie was very emotional movie to me because you go on an emotional roller coaster , sometimes your happy , sad and laughing.

This series released in 2000, but in my country I saw it for the first time in 2003 or 2004 on TV. And from the first time I loved it. Now 9 years passed and I watched it probably 10 times. And every time with great pleasure. Our TV channels air this mini-series during summer holidays.This is the adventure of girl, her father, her lover and dog-turned-prince. With the help of magical mirror wolf and trolls chase dog to modern New York city. Dog meets with Virginia. Wolf sees Virginia and loves her. With the help of wolf they travel to parallel world where Virginia's mother is Evil Queen.I recommend everyone to watch this.Watch and Enjoy!!!!!

I first saw this when it originally aired on television. At the time I was in seventh grade. I will turn twenty tomorrow. Wow, so long ago. I believe this mini series is just fantastic. All of your childhood fairy tales are in it and told in a modern way. Wolf is just amazing and Kimberly Williams Paisley(now a mother!) is just drop dead gorgeous. Their performances and witty slapstick comedy/romance will get you going all throughout the nine kingdoms. I recommend that everyone see this at least once. Strangely enough, this movie is in my top ten. I found it on DVD used at FYE. Keep searching and you can find it. I also found the paperback used online.
