I remember seeing it years ago and recently re-watched it with my girlfriend. She instantly fell in love with it. It has a unique charm to it and I was wondering if any other dopers found it as captivating as I did.
I also wonder, of course, if there is anything else out there like it!
Yeah, I have it on vhs and I’ve watched it probably 6 or 7 times and I even read the book. It’s so so cheesy. But the prince is pretty hot so it all works out. My favorite part is Camryn Manheim as Sleeping Beauty. This is no knock against her; she’s a lovely lady and a fine actress, but who in the world goes, “We need a Sleeping Beauty. Is Camryn Manheim available?”
I have a fondness for the slightly cheesy fantasy-themed TV-movies and miniseries that Robert Halmi produced in the '90s and early '00s. This one, Merlin (with Sam Neill), and Arabian Nights were my favorites.
My entire family loves this movie. It’s been years, I really need to find a spare 7 hours to watch it again. I remember in high school showing it to friends, they’d always be all “You’re making me watch a seven hour movie?” and then we’d finish it and they’d ask to watch it again. Good memories. We still say “suck an elf” and “huff puff” in conversations.
