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

 10th kingdom purchase August 25, 2010

I had already seen this movie and liked it but I bought it as a gift for my parents who really love this movie. This movie is so funny at times and I think it has a wonderful soundtrack. It is family friendly. My kids liked it as well because its a new twist on an old favorite. They take little red riding hood and put a funny, and more modern theme to it. You will enjoy it. There is something in it for everyone.

I love fairy-tales so this was definitely a treat. Plus was working nights so this was great for when I got home in the morning and there was nothing on but soap operas.

The dvd set is great. It includes 3 disc and for its price it is totally worth it. I remember watching this on NBC tv it seemed soo long but probably because of the commercials and stuff, I mean it is long but its amusing and I enjoyed watching it after I bought the dvd recently. Why should you buy it? because it is cheap and you don't often find dvds of this type it is like a fairytale fantasy land you will get a good laugh. The acting isn't too bad even though its cheesy at times. Its a good movie to watch with the whole family

I received the purchase of the Tenth Kingdom in good time and in good condition. No cause for complaints with those items. I have enjoyed the video. I would recommend Amazon and the individual from whom I purchased the video to anyone. The video is not animated in a way that the animation is obvious and interferes with the story-In other words, any animation is transparent to the plot, action, and characters. All seems like events in real life.
