Title: Lovely, enchanting and sadly overlooked when it was released
Review: Far too many so-called fantasy films (Labyrinth, anything by Terry Jones, Legend, etc) sink all their energy into production values and kick the magic right out the door. They end up lumpen, leaden, anything but enchanting, and either leave kids snoring or scared silly.Fairy Tale: A True Story is everyting that these so-called kid's films are not. Genuinely enchanting, beautifully photographed and with an all round excellent cast.Sadly overlooked and/or dismissed by critics when it was released theatrically, you have a second chance to do your kids a favor--especially if they love imps, elves, faries and all the other little people, and rent, then watch this one with them.The real girls made their fairy folk out of book illustrations. If this filmmaker's fairies had been around then, we'd all all be believers today.
