Video Princess and the Goblin April 27, 2008 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
What a rip-off! The story The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald, is so fun and so rich that this DVD has no right to even associate itself with the real thing. Why did the makers of this schlock not think the original details were worthy of duplicating?

I saw this movie as a child (5 - 7 years old) and had nightmares about it for years afterwards. So if you have a gentle-hearted child, please be careful about letting them see this movie.
A True Classic May 3, 2007 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This movie was one of my favorites growing up, and everyone around me that I have shared it with has fallen in love with it. The story is about the adventurous Princess Irene. The princess is off playing in the woods when she is attacked by goblins pets. She is saved by a mining boy named Curty. They quickly become friends and get into a lot of trouble. The goblins attack and Irene must rely on her own magic to save Curty, and in turn the entire kingdom. (Yes the story has a happy ending ^^ )
The story teaches the importance of believing in yourself, friendship, not keeping things inside, and the power of a song. I would recommend this story to any child boy or girl. However, there are a few scary parts in this movie, nothing bad compared to what kids are exposed to these days but I would advise that the parents sit and watch the movie with that child the first time through just in case it doesn't met that parent's pretence. (There is a spot where the ground starting moving at the beginning and a hand comes out and grabs her. Of course she gets away! If your child can handle the movie The Black Cauldron, then this movie is fine!)
One warning to parents, this movie becomes a quick favorite, so I would advise ear plugs because the movie has been known to be played so a lot.
I would recommend this to any child; I hope this review has been helpful!

This is a good movie and the Goblin's are not scary to kids...just funny. It is a little lengthy, but you certainly get your money's worth of drama, excellent cartoonage and music.
