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!!!!!

The 10th Kingdom is really an atrocious movie. I know that normally TV movies like this have lower standards and I was prepared for that. I was prepared for sub-par acting and bad special effects. But this movie is available. The acting by minor actors was unbelievable bad. But the surprising thing was actors like Dianne Wiest giving a really bad performance. I have seen a lot of movies in which she has a role, but she has never given a bad performance before.I don't know how that happens. How can good actors give such bad performances. Was the shooting rushed through? Were they not paid enough? Or did they instinctively knew that they can't save such a bad movie and decide to their worst. I sincerely don't know.I couldn't get through the whole thing. It is 7 hours long ! And frankly I was tired before the first hour was up. The story seemed very clichéd. Just a pale imitation of stuff that you had already watched elsewhere. I recommend that you avoid it at all costs.I really can't understand the good reviews. Do people have such low standards.

I would still love and appreciate this film if they took away the fairy-tale inclusion. The sub-plots (of which there are many) are entirely realistic, and at times very profound; they all seem to center around psychological issues, such as abandonment disorder, identity crisis, and the need for redemption. The fairytale aspect is fun at times (and hokey at times), but the unique development of each character (in surprising detail, if you really pay attention) is the best part of the film. Scott Cohen, John Larroquette, and Daniel Lapaine made a terrific team and their interactions are priceless; I'm less enthusiastic about Kimberly Williams-Paisley, although she had some very good moments.

Having not watched regular TV since the mid 90s, I simply had not heard of this TV network special. But when I saw the DVD case on the store shelf it piqued my interest.I saw the $9 price tag, smirked. On the cover the box bragged an all star cast for what I figured had to be a direct to video title. Ann Margaret, Rutger Hauer, Camryn Manheim and others? I scratched my head. Why hadn't I heard about this piece before? Well, Ed O'Neil and John Laroquette, a pair of TV's most infamous, were also in this film. Had I my answer? Partially.Well, it wasn't a major motion picture with theatrical release written all over it, but the cast was impressive enough, and the fact that there was more than one DVD in the case married to a $9 price tag, how could I go wrong? I took a chance, and wasn't too surprised with what I found. It certainly wasn't Pete Jackson's Lord of the Rings saga, nor even a Disney take on an old fairy tale, but a "modern" spin on a conglomeration of tales revisited for those who grew up with them.It's a made for TV flick, but done with quite a few familiar faces, shot in standard format. The thing this series has going for it is the amount of content contained within it. I liked "The Odyssey" and the "Gulliver" productions because of the scale, scope and ambition of those films, but "The 10th Kingdom" didn't seem to strike the same chord as those other features.Still, it's a very capable production which entertains in a mediocre television vein. The effects are fairly prosaic, and nothing in particular is done with the basic visuals, but it's an okay TV special with some endearing characters (though I'm not sure I would've cast Scott Cohen in the leading "wolf" role).Good decent fun. If you have nine bucks burning a hole in your pocket, then go ahead and take a chance on this three disk DVD set. You won't be disappointed.
