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

 Where is the sequel? November 22, 2009
Anel Diane Walker (FL)
excellent I owned mine since it came out and had to buy another because everyone keeps borrowing my copy
Great movie!! September 10, 2009
Lana Gregorie (Kansas City, Mo USA)
I think this movie is the best one that adults can watch and still see the fairy tale stories that most of us grew up on except in a twisted different way.
More, please. July 3, 2009
Jessica Henderson (Bradenton, FL USA)
There are enough synopses available for this miniseries that I do not feel obligated to contribute one of my own. I will simply say that I enjoyed my viewing of "The 10th Kingdom" thoroughly and wish that a follow-up or two (or three...or more; I'm not too greedy) had been greenlighted by the studios. I have always loved fairy tales, and in particular loved that, though often comic, this series gave a nod to the darker sides of the original tales which were bleached or lost in other retellings.
The 10th Kingdom - a fairy tale for adults July 1, 2009
S. Parkinson
Three inept trolls, an evil queen, a wolf for a hero, a blind woodsman called Juliet and a prince turned into a dog, this mini series has it all. Add a heroine with emotional issues and a slightly overweight Snow White (played by Camryn Mannheim) and magic mushrooms that sing A Whiter Shade of Pale, and you have all the ingredients for a rollicking magical romp through all 10 Kingdoms. This DVD contains a host of famous faces and a big dollop of humour. I'd give it 6 stars out of 5!
It was just how what I expected and was in great condition! June 20, 2009
