First of all, being a fan of BBC period dramas, I absolutely love the genre of the TV mini-series. And The 10th Kingdom is one of my all-time favorite. I remember watching it our recorded copy on video cassette (hard to believe its that old ?) as a child and I'm pretty sure that it was the source of my fascination with fairy tales. The special effects are actually surprisingly good. It's a pity that it took them so long to make this first series because it would have been interesting to learn about some of the other kingdoms in the second "book." Overall, such an amazing cult classic ?
  
Once Upon a Time  - Season 1
Once Upon a Time - Season 1
2011 | Sci-Fi
Once upon a time is a mash up of all the different fairy tale characters and them living happily or not so happily together in modern life. You have all the favourite ones such as The Wicked Witch, Hook, Snow White and many others. The musical episode in one of the later series's is brilliant and will have you singing the songs. They needed to end it on a high when the last story line came to an end and some of the main characters left, but they have tried to keep it going by introducing new characters and people but didn't work, sorry stopped watching it then.

The Glass Slipper
Cinderella- With a wicked stepmother (Eleanor Audley) and two jealous stepsisters (Rhoda Williams, Lucille Bliss) who keep her enslaved and in rags, Cinderella (Ilene Woods) stands no chance of attending the royal ball. When her fairy godmother (Verna Felton) appears and magically transforms her reality into a dream come true, Cinderella enchants the handsome Prince Charming at the ball, but must face the wrath of her enraged stepmother and sisters when the spell wears off at midnight.

Dont you feel bad for Cinderella, i mean i did.

"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", is my favorite song from this movie.

A classic animation film.

Classic Childs tale
Contains spoilers, click to show
Lyra is a orphan growing up with a group of boring scholars. She has an incredible imagination and would drop anything to do in an adventure with her best pal Roger.

However Roger is kidnapped and taken north by the gobblers. Lyra, being the strong independent young woman she is, is determined to get him back.

This classic story has everything to get your imagination going. There are kidnappings, witches, daemons, armoured bears, hot air balloon trips and a machine that can tell the truth.

Totally worth a read

This is going to have to go down as a DNF, I'm afraid.

It seemed to start good but then came the information overload and I am so not a fan of that. I got to 21% and just couldn't muster up the energy to continue reading it because it held very little appeal.

I was expecting some amazing fairy-tale-esque story with a kick-arse hero by the name of Charming.

Maybe I didn't get far enough into the story for that to happen but heaps of info are so not my thing and it really turns me off a story and that's what happened here.
