Rating: - It needed to stay underground
I remember LOVING this movie as a kid. Instead of Prince Charming being the knight in shining armor, it's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfelles who turn around and save *him*... I loved Lord Malice, Sunburn and Scowl the Owl (though I could never figure out why a guy like him would hang around someone who's *that* annoying). I could tell the film was pretty rare and was obviously not made by Disney.
I think a possible point of the film was feminine power, that the princess is just as capable of rescuing the prince as the other way around. The "Shadowman" adds a hint of mystery on their journey to the Realm of Doom (I would've liked to see more of this journey, they pretty much cut to the chase which was a mistake, there could've been some real character development along the way). The owl provides comic relief and is an interesting addition to the story. And unlike the Disney version, the Magic Mirror ... Read More

For the 20 minutes I suffered through this with my 4 1/2 year old, for some reason I kept thinking that this was like the play that was put on by the amateur theater troupe in "Waiting for Guffman", and that somebody must have thought they were being serious when they wrote it. The song "Stools" in Guffman crossed my mind more than once. And who in the world cajoled these well known actors into these speaking roles?
The Ed Asner owl was ludicrous. Why would an owl ever be smoking cigar? And some of the jokes were slyly off color, too. Of course they were way over the head of my daughter, but I am of the opinion that even if something is over their head, they are still hearing it and getting the garbage into their little minds.
The "dwarfelles" were so dumb...why would dwarfs possess magic? and in charge of "the earth", "the thunder," etc. And what in the world was Mother Nature doing in ... Read More
Rating: - Worst princess movie ever made
The same animation / plot / storyline can be found in the Little Mermaid cartoons. It's too scary for anyone under 5, and has virtually zero plot. The animation is very dark, and half it involves demon-like creatures and dragon that would only appeal to 7-9yr old boys... who wouldn't want to watch this movie in the first place. Disney totally missed their target audience. I'm glad we only rented it.

This movie is very funny, Owl is hilarious!
There's lot of adventure and humor, the movie is also well animated.
