With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
- Best for anyone who grew up on fantasy maps and anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping. A proper quest, with a world big enough to get lost in. If you loved Barbie as The Princess & the Pauper or Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, start here. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 19 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- Skip it if you want something with an edge.
Shortly after the Royal Family adopts a young girl named Alise, she is taken away into the forest. Princess Odette, Derek and their woodland friends, must work together to find a way to bring her home to the castle.
