A Parody That Stands The Test of Time!

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2019)

I find it curious that IMDB lists this soley as an adventure fantasy film. It is, partially, but I've always viewed it as an amazingly well done parody.
It pokes fun of the fairy tale tropes while at the same time paying tribute to the genre. All the exaggeration about true love, evil princes, and torture chambers is on point. Its a self aware movie that plays up to its its biggest strength, the characters.
Every character in the film is memorable, even down to the preist who only has a few lines. The casting and writing of these characters all came together and it really shows. You just cant help but wish Wallace Shawn survived longer so his loveable villian character could get a little more screentime.
All in all, you should give this film a chance. Its a hilarious yet family friend entertaining ride that still holds up. As you wishhhhh!
