This is an awesome series for anyone who loves fairtales. I watched this for the first time when it origninally premiered on ABC, and couldn't forget about it.

Good show even for the kids..

I really enjoyed this mini-series. It had a good amount of humor, a lot of imagination and creativity. My kids really loved this movie because the story line also correlates with Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and most fairy tales that we as children generally grew up hearing. I only gave it four stars because I did feel that it was a little hoaky at the beginning. But once you start to watch it, you really do get sucked in. My family and I found this show to be a great source of entertainment, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy.

Just finished watching this epic over three days with my 16, 14 and 9 year old, all loved it, including my husband. Really wonderful and creative story with lots of subplots, humor and romance. Some scary parts for the 9 yr old, but it made the whole show that much more fun to watch. Highly recommend for multi night viewing of maybe an all day Saturday marathon or snow day marathon. The wolf is so much fun and the "Peeps" are quite fun as well.

Not the best fantasy epic ever portrayed....

Rating: 5
...but it certainly kept me riveted to my seat for 7 hours straight. The 10th Kingdom is something I remember seeing in the video store over and over again when it first came out, but it was never enough to tempt me to watch it. Honestly, I believed it would be a little sub-par on every level, and was biased because it was made-for-TV. Even now, after finally deciding to watch it, I was looking at the case and having second thoughts. Finally, last night, I decided to watch one episode, and if it was no good, I could just turn it off and never look at it again. And you know what? I never turned it off. Not until it was done, and then I wished it had gone on forever. I was hooked almost immediately.

I've adore mythology, fairy and folk tales, so it was nice to see so many winks at those stories of old. Especially some of the more original, non-Disney tellings of the better known ones. Like the wicked queen poisoning Snow White three times, with the corset and comb. Not to mention how they weaved in so many others, such as Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood. Plus, I'm every bit the sentimental romantic, and the story of Virginia and Wolf was pitch perfect the whole time. the

A small word of caution on how this will "enchant audiences of all ages": I ended up watching this with my 11-year-old sister, and even though it's from Hallmark and was classified as family entertainment, there were more than a few moments that were clearly meant for adult audiences. The evil villains are truly evil, and there is a good deal of violence and a smattering of language, and the story took the opportunity to explore the wolf's legendary identity in fairy tales as a lecherous predator (see Neil Jordan's film, The Company of Wolves). I adore gritty, violent, lusty fairy tales, and these not-so-family-friendly aspects surprised and delighted me, but I still think it's worth noting before you sit down for a family viewing with the little ones.

So, in the end, if you are ever in a situation similar to mine, and don't know whether or not to pick this up...do yourself a favor, and just watch the darn thing!

Amazingly great!!.

Rating: 5
This has it all, I do not now how we missed it originally , but this is far above most mini series in it's superb quality.
this movie is well written and directed as well as well cast and acted !!
It is a fantasy/ adventure w/ a comedic touch.

I don't want to give away the plot but I must say it will keep you intrigued
throughout.

It is also very visual and I know we here liked it better than The Lion , The Witch and the Wardrobe(Chronicles of Narnia) and Prince Caspian as well.

For the past few years TV has produced better fare than Hollywood...this is a perfect example of that.

You won't regret buying at this great price !!
