Movie Reviews of The Princess and the Pea
Movie Review: Charming!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi, I don't remember this movie as one from my childhood, though I probably had seen it before. I was able to see it now with "fresh eyes" and discover the charming story, full of magic and love. I loved this DVD, the characters are great, and the story is told in a new and innovative way. I love the princess and the troll story, the discovery that sometimes things that appear to be ugly can be quite good despite of what they seem on the outside. I rated it 5 stars because I think it is a wonderful movie, and I recommend it for viewing. As far as the question of the age audience for this movie--I know that it was done for kids, and we as kids grew up on these movies and I would definitely say it is for kids as well as adults. It is psychological, and makes you think. There might be the cultural difference from the viewing perspective, as the movie lacks in special effects but delivers the superb story--the "grown up" topics are very psychological, and I am sure that kids are always mature to understand the concepts of good and evil, love and sorrow. It lacks in blood gushing and all the Halloween tricks of head chopping, loose body limbs and ogre stuff, so whoever wrote that the story is not for kids probably meant that this kind of stuff is now watched by kids--so that stuff is not in the movie. What in the movie are the several stories connected by the magical tale and telling the most charming fairytales ever. Watch it!:)
And yes, it is closer to the original if you watch it with subtitles instead of voiceover-they are trying to match actors lip movements and hence are the lines, but the characters are changed as a result of this audio "makeover"
