The 10th Kingdom Review Summary

The 10th Kingdom "is the ultimate fairy tale." While it originated as a Hallmark TV miniseries, it stars Dianne Wiest, John Larroquette, and Ed O'Neill. Living in New York, a girl and her father get sucked into a world of enchantment, danger, and adventure through a mirror. They find nine kingdoms and meet people taken straight out of a bed time story, bringing viewers with them, as reviewers report feeling as if they're in this strange world. Reviewers caution we shouldn't let younger children watch The 10th Kingdom, as while being a fairy tale, it "does have a little violence and suspense" as well as a "happily-ever-after ending." If you like Princess Bride, you might want to give The 10th Kingdom a try.

I wish I could jump through my mirrors!

a movie lover, a child at heart, a dreamer

NOV

2007

In 2000 I first saw the 10th Kingdom, an NBC Mini-Series, on TV twice. Then a few years ago my mom got me the DVD set so I can watch it over and over!

Minor Plot Details
In New York, we meet Virgina, a 20-something who lives with her dad. In another land far away, a prison escape is in the works! A Troll has come to rescue his sons and ends up helping an evil queen escape. Prince Wendell shows up just in time for her magic to work so that he changes places with a dog. She plans to rule the 9 fairy-tale kingdoms using the now dog-brained Prince as her puppet. However, the Prince-brained dog runs...

It's the ultimate fairy tale

JAN

2008

This Hallmark entertainment production was a TV miniseries and stars - Dianne Wiest (Evil Queen), Kimberly Willimas (Virginia), John Larroquette (Tony), Scott Cohen (Wolf), Rutger Hauer (The Huntsman), Ed O'Neill (The Troll King).

Happily ever after didn't last forever in this modern day fairy tale. Living in New York on the edge of the forest, Virginia and her father, Tony, get sucked into a world of enchantment, danger and adventure. In this land they find the nine kingdoms and meet people taken straight out of a bed time story. In this land of magic they meet an unlikely allie, a mischevious...

Totally takes you into a whole new fantasy

comedy fan, an infrequent movie goer

APR

2008

The day this was available to order we did. It was so funny to see kids reaction to the "suck and elf", they laughed so hard and we have watched this whole series about 6 times. I am not sure if I would let a younger child watch this as it does have a little violence and suspence but the 9 year olds did fine.

I have always loved The 10th Kingdom! As you watch the movie, you feel as if you are inside their world. The characters are just as loveable as the plot itself!

Even though it is a bit long (3 + hours), you don't care! Watch as the time flies as the whole family gathers around the TV to watch this wonderful movie!!

This is a movie that many may never have had the chance to come across and a loss for them. A movie although almost 7 hours in length made by Hallmark it is a true work of art. It has fantasy, love, action, fairy tales, trolls, wicked queens and much more. Set in the beginning in the heart of New York where from another dimension a prince that magically gets turned into a dog wanders thru a magic mirror into New York park. When he comes thru the mirror runs into a girl who seems to be just a waitress in a pub and her father. These peole are much more than ordinary as they lead the prince back... review »

Not your average fairy tale...

a child at heart, Lover of quirky, unique films

DEC

2007

This was actually a miniseries that aired back in the 90's about a girl that jumps through an enchanted mirror to discover the land of fairy tales and discovers what actually happens after the "happily ever after" in popular fairy tales such as cinderella and red riding hood. This is best watched in as few segments as possible, but it is 10 hours long so one sitting is hard, even for a lover of the movie such as me. It does start out kinda hokey, I almost turned it off, but don't because it does get better after about an hour into it. That's when it really takes off and you won't be able to turn... review »

world of fantasy

DVD collector, character-lover, very picky about kids films

NOV

2007

If you're looking for a mini tv series to keep your kids and family entertained for hours, this would be the one for it. The audience are invited to travel to a land of fantasy, where snow white, cinderella, little red redding hood, elfs, monsters, jack and the bean stalk, sleeping beauty, the evil step mother, kings and queens, faires, and all sorts of faiy tale characters come to live in this 8 hour show. It's a film thats good for all ages. It's great for any occassion. I cant wait to watch the continuation of it!

A great movie full of romance, action, fantasy, and humor

I really loved this movie. There are lots of wonderful characters that you cant help but get attached to. This movie has it all, fantasy, humor, drama, action and of course romance. Its a fantasy that is definately geared toward a more adult audience. The movie is long but i enjoyed every bit of it, in fact by the end i was wishing that there were more. Definately one of my favorites.

Modern-day fairytale with a happily-ever-after ending

an infrequent movie goer, waiting for the DVD, watching chick flicks, into action flicks, a comedy fan

MAR

Several modern-day 'heros' get swept into a traditional fairy-tale realm. The story is unexpected (though many parts are easy to predict when they follow the fairy-tale style). It is a good movie to watch in pieces (though you may have problems turning the tv off!). One of those classics you can watch again and again- definetally worth buying instead of just renting.

This movie was very intriquite, and detailed. If you like fantasy and if you enjoy getting lost in a "fairytale movie" This is a great movie to see.

I enjoyed all of the different scenes and the different aspects of culture that were portrayed in this movie.

This is fantastic. Quite the bargain for over 10 hours worth of entertainment. I feel that anyone would enjoy this movie and it deserves a try. The 10th kingdom is fantastically entertaining!
