Too many fans seem to be blown away

Perfectly adorable

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is one of the worst films I have ever seen, let alone adaptations of the stupendous novel that was my childhood favorite.First off, her name is pronounced (Eye-reen), not (Eye-reen-ee). Maybe it's just me, but everyone I know pronounces it Irene.Second, this animation is horrendous. Absolutely awful.Third, that song is lame. A song generated for the Disney Princesses written by a six-year-old girl wouldn't be as cheesy.Fourth, the scene at the end where Curdie beats up the Goblin Queen was literally the worst scene for children in an animated film. Ever.Fifth, the characters are portrayed horribly. Irene doesn't run away from her nurse, and is eight. The nurse, Lootie, is not a fat idiot. Curdie is twelve years old, yes, but he's also not an idiot who runs off to look for trouble. The Goblin King is not annoying, the Goblin Queen is not... that, and the prince is not a psychotic killer- in fact, in the book, the Prince was barely in there and seemed rather innocent.Sixth, there is no cat. That cat was annoying. The Goblin Cat was, too, but me and my sister came up with the name "Doofenscourge" (after Doofenshmirtz in Phineas and Ferb and Scourge from the book series Warriors), so now he's just a joke.Seventh, the original book was a classic masterpiece that was the favorite of JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. NOT a randomized, made-for-children film created just to get a buck off that parent across the street.Eighth, while I admit that the Great-Grandmother was cool, she was like, "Someday you'll find magic of your own and you won't need me anymore!" Uhh... where to begin? How about, a) Irene has no magic whatsoever (at least in the book) and never will, and b) THE GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE Christian GOD, AND THE Christian GOD SAYS THAT WE WILL ALWAYS NEED HIM BECAUSE WE ARE SINNERS AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF US IF WE JUST LET HIM. OKAY?! Gosh, this movie made me resort to all caps. While I have more arguments, I should probably go lie down. Just, stay away from this awful movie.

The Princess and the Goblin has absolutely terrible animation. Terrible as in The Legend of Zelda Saturday morning cartoon terrible. Which is too bad, because otherwise it's really a nice movie. The story is magical and exciting. The characters are likable. The English dub is surprisingly well-acted, with competent performances from even the most minor of characters. The background painting is beautiful. The music is appropriate and pretty. It's well-directed, with the grandmother scenes likely to trigger little thrills of awe in even older and more-cynical viewers. If the animation had been vaguely above sub-par, this might have been a great movie. Unfortunately, it isn't.

I loved this movie when I was a child. It was just so fantastical and lovely, and the main song just sticks in your head for days upon days. When I watched this movie recently (as in 10 years later), I saw how fine the animation was designed to be, and how well it was done in some areas. It's old, and the animation dosen't really compare to the computer graphics we have today, but it's CLASSIC. And although someof the actions are exaggerated in the movie, it's like opening my Hans Christian Anderson book, and seeing stories come to life.So if you're a lover of fairy tales, or enjoy telling stories, this movie was MADE for you.

For anyone who has seen this movie, they know what I'm talking about. This movie is pretty good although there is exaggeration in some parts. Personally, I like the song. It has a nice beat, very medieval and it gives hope. It was made in Hungary and it won a prize. YES! When I first got this movie, people who came to my house always wanted to watch it and I got sick of it. Now I just watched for the first time in 3 years and it was good. Watch it! You'll like it! If you've seen it already, you must really think the goblin cat is the most hilarious thing in the movie.
