A holiday at Faeryoak Farm introduces Gordon and his sister, Nellie, to an enigmatic raven, and finds the pair unwittingly bound for the mystical world of Faeryland. Getting into Faeryland is easy, but returning to the farm entails a trip to see the Prince. The Prince asks the pair to perform three tasks as payment for their release. When the children are summoned for their first task, Brigid, a helper at Faeryoak Farm, follows them to the entrance of Faeryland, where the Prince falls instantly in love with her. Recalling a prophecy about his betrothal to 'a beauteous Princess named Brigid, astoundingly bred,' he bids the children to bring her inside Faeryland so he can propose marriage to her. All goes according to plan until Shapeshifter, the Prince's exiled brother and the aforementioned raven, stirs up trouble and seeks to fulfill a dark prophecy of his own. Will human resourcefulness and a little help from a resident hobgoblin be enough to save Faeryland and return the children to their own world?

This beautifully animated 75-minute production, which premiered on the Bravo Channel, features bright, bold colors and a picture that's amazingly sharp and clear. Add the voice talents of well-known stars such as Kate Winslet, Jeremy Irons, and Dougray Scott (Mission: Impossible 2), and you've got a video with widespread appeal. So what are you waiting for? Flitter on in to Faeryland! (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

- Great Entertainment For Kids of All Ages!
I watched this (and bought it) movie recently. It's very cute indeed. I must confess the reason I even watched was because the WONDERFUL Kate Winslet lent her beautiful voice for this film. Though I am glad I checked it out! If you have young kids, you may want to check it out! It's brilliant!

- Enthralling and refreshing
This is definitely a great show for children and people who enjoy a good fairy story. If you liked "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," you'll probably like this one as well. The plot is simple, and geared toward a child's pace and grasp of conflict. But it has an ample supply of magical and unexpected twists that keep the story enthralling, even for some adult viewers like me.

The animation is different from what you might expect. It's nothing like the mega-budget eye candy typically put out by Disney, Dreamworks, and other media giants. (Some of us actually consider that a plus.) "Faeries" uses a combination of 2-D hand-drawn animation and very simple 3-D, flying-toaster-like computer animation. The result, as I said, is quite different. But it's not unpleasant, and I found myself getting quite used to it after only a few minutes. So while the animation technique is unusual and more economical ... Read More

- Enchanting -- And good for kids
About the animation: Whatever you're expecting, this film isn't like that. "Faeries" in no way resembles the mega-budget masterpieces you might expect from Disney, Dreamworks, or other media giants specializing in state-of-the-art, rapid-fire eye candy (though departure from that can sometimes be a good thing). It's definitely a lower-budget production, utilizing a rather conspicuous blend of hand-drawn animation and very simple, flying-toaster-like computer animation. To the artists' credit, they've managed to do a very credible job within the obvious limitations of their technique. And younger children (the audience to whom the film is targeted) probably won't mind the animation style. Some adults might not either. I found myself getting quite used to it after only a few minutes, and was rewarded with a very charming and enjoyable experience. However, if you're a person who tends to be distracted by film styles ... Read More
