My 5 year old daughter and myself loved this movie!! Only critique is that I can't find it on dvd in the Uk for a reasonable price.

For a modern film, this is full of out of date stereotypes. Why is it perfectly acceptable for a beautiful princess to fall in love with a hideous man, yet there are no stories of handsome men falling for hideous women? All this feeds the stereotypes that females should be pretty, but men can be whatever they want. The only time this is reversed in the film it is used for comedy.If you don't wish for your children to be tainted by this I would avoid.

My wife and I watched this movie with our 3.5 year old and we all really enjoyed it. I enjoyed all of the music and the story and my son enjoyed the small character pool and the action. He may not have fully understood the story but he sat through the whole movie (which for him rarely ever happens). I feel like it was the perfect mix of great for the kids as well as the parents type of movie. It probably all really depends on the age, but for my family this movie was excellent and I wish there were more movies like it!

Warning first: This is more of a songspiel/operette. It is more than 50% music numbers, think musical with 2 or 3 times more music than normal. This drove me nuts to begin with, because I wasn't expecting it, and was waiting for it to settle down and breathe, and all the songs made it hard for the movie to establish more than a few things at a time, but once the plot and characters were established, it much more forgivable.The story is not terribly deep, silly romance, butterfly fairies, dark fairy/bugs and some adventure and comedy, all following standard clichés. Not bad, but nothing interesting either.In the end the music did put a smile on my face, while the plot made me cringe. Not the worst, and might be more enjoyable if that is your thing and you know that is what you are in for before you start.
