A different way of telling a story

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I just got it on DVD direct from Australia, and I must say it was a wonderful sight / experience to watch the first season / 1st series again. I was stuck to the screen while I re-watched all 26 episodes in less than a week! Now... waiting for the next part. Spellbinder 2: Land of the Dragon Lord to come out on DVD. Some years ago the series went on Danish TV and that was something could get my attention. Funny thing is that now when I see when the series was made... the actors/actresses are about my age. This mix of current date (at the time) happenings and a parallel dimension where people live much more primitive is fascinating especially is this context. I can only recommend everyone to watch this series at the first chance you get!It is definitely top entertainment. The people who thought up the plots/ideas were genius! If I were to compare this series to another series it would definitely be another Australien series "The Girl from Tomorrow".

Spellbinder was a multi part serial centering on an Australian Boy who falls through a dimensional tear and finds himself in a parallel universe that resembles an eastern European country (because it was filmed in an eastern European country). The boy finds his way back to Australia, but is followed by some eastern European villains. Eventually the boy's scientist father sorts it all out and returns everyone from the alternate universe back to where they belong.It lasted approximately 26 episodes and ran on the Disney Channel in the summer of 1996. As far as I know, it marked one of the first co-productions between eastern Europe and the western world and cleared the way for such notable eastern European films as Cold Mountain, Hellboy, and the latest in the Chucky the Killer Doll series.

When an Australian teenager at a school camp pulls off a prank he is trapped in a parallel world where mechanical and technilogical advances never really happened.The new world is rules by the "Spellbinders". The people are not allowed to learn new things. Only the Spellbinders are allowed to "be smart".But when Paul is sent into this strange new world, his chances of returning back into the other world is slim. Very slim.As Paul works harder, things get worse.

This show tells the story of a teenager who leaves for camp and gets lost in a primitive world. The teenager gets captured by the Spellbinders. Somehow he finds the way to get back to his home world. But a Spellbinder comes out of the forest and tries to stalk him.
