The Tenth Kingdom
SCORE: 65
Peter and I were both interested in The 10th Kingdom. This seven hour and twenty-seven minute three disc DVD set sells for five dollars. How bad could this movie mini series be for only five dollars? The 10th Kingdom has its issues here and there. Overall both of us enjoyed this story. It was a bit stretched out, especially chasing after the mirror.
The 10th Kingdom is all about the world of fairy tales. See they have nine kingdoms, and when characters use a magical mirror to cross the dimensional shift they decide our world is the tenth kingdom. I never said they were very bright. A father and a daughter from our world wind up going into the fairy tale world. This is where stories of Snow White, Cinderella, and more come from.
The father and daughter both want to get home. That means finding the magic mirror and using it to get home. Complicating things are friends they make along the way. What kind of friends? A prince that was turned into a dog, and a half man/half wolf character.
Some of the issues in The 10th Kingdom are enticement to lust, sex outside of marriage, magic, violence, language, death, and murder. There are humorous moments as we learn about this different land. Especially when it comes to things like customs and dangers.
The intro song in The 10th Kingdom is really good. There are plenty of nods to various fairy tales in The 10th Kingdom. I felt like we got our moneys worth out of The 10th Kingdom. The one bonus on the third disc of The 10th Kingdom is a Making of Featurette.
Please note the daughter gets pregnant out of wedlock, and her mother had tried to kill her. So there are some adult only themes in this product.
