<Its a wonderful movie, with added scenes from the original 
video.  Set in Ireland, its sort of two love stories in one, both in the 
human and fae/'chaun world, with humor and action.  Beautifully filmed, full 
of magic.  Almost 3 hours long! Highly recommended.  Anyone else have 
favourite magical movies, especially less known or newer releases?>

I found this movie rather dull as you could predict the next line of action even without the glimpses NBC gave (I also own it on video because I'm a sucker for the story line.

A magickal movie that was also a television mini movie I adore is 10th Kingdom.  10 hours of fairytales brought alive and into the modern world.  

Blurb from the back: At the edge of the mortal world lies a mystical vortex which leads to the Nine Kingdoms, a fantastic land where fairy tales are reinvented...and not with happily-ever-after results!  An evil queen has just doomed Prince Wendell to life as a dog.  His quest to recapture the throne leads him through a portal into the mythical Tenth Kingdom...Central Park!  With the help of ordinary mortals Virginia and Tony, they battle evil in a parallel universe of vile trolls, goblins and every fairy tale character imaginable.  

The movie is better then it sounds and while some parts I just want to shake my head at I still enjoy putting this on for a full day of fairy tale fun.  The effects are stunning, the sets are beautiful and the actors have nothing wrong with them.  It's available on DVD, video and re airs in the summer on NBC when they can fit it in.
