With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone) and fantasy fans. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true. Shelve it next to Enchanted or Cinderella.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 14 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1965: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
A fairy-tale about a beautiful but very haughty princess Anna who cruelly mocks each of her suitors. Finally she is forced by the king to marry a beggar. The poor life, hard work and love teach the princess a lesson and turn her into a loving and kind person.
