So much average
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
a flat version, nice for good intentions, conventional at all, interesting, maybe, only for the performance of Kenny Baker. but it is not surprising. because it is not easy to give the right nuances of the fairy tale with a modest budget. and this does this version comfortable because it has one duty - to remind, with few small innovations, the universe of the text of Charles Perrault. nothing more. and, having this as start point, it is almost unfair to have great expectations. each actor does a reasonable work, the Charming Prince is not the most inspired choice, Tahnee Welch is a nice Rosebud and the White Fairy an admirable example of kitsch. but this is it. so, nothing unexpected.
There's a very good reason why I decided to make this a 10. This has to be the worst movie I have ever seen. From the costumes, to the acting and even the singing, it was horrible. I loved every single second of it. The fact that Morgan Fairchild is in this and does a terrible job just makes it better. I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of Sleeping Beauty movies, and I've loved every single one of them. This one is absolutely no exception. If you love really bad movies as much as I do,this is the one for you.I did find it interesting that they took a turn from the well known versions of Sleeping Beauty and added an elf. However, the fact that they've used nine fairies as opposed to 4 is more in line with the written adaptation. So, in conclusion, two very enthusiastic thumbs up.
I recorded this for my 9 y-o daughter so she could watch it. She hasn't moved from watching it ....about an hour ago!The cast is good. There isn't a whole lot of dialog. The music is synthesized (not a true orchestral soundtrack) So...if that bothers you, like it does me....be forewarned.The songs are mediocre at best. If you have a musical "ear", the songs (and the singing) will sometimes make you cringe.On the up-side, the scenes are beautifully shot. Very colorful and the costumes are wonderful. However, like I said....it's a good movie for the little ones.
Now I can't imagine Kitty from "Cocoon" as being Rosebud anymore, she just barely seems like the same woman... but this is a pretty good film. I loved it as a kid, and the Red Fairy ... needless to say... scared the bejeezus out of me. The prince in the end has such a small role that it's pathetic -- but I love the little people. This version I dislike the most out of the Cannon Tales as an adult, but I still adored them as a child.
