    superior production to 10th Kingdom'

    It concerns the destiny of a Canuck girl, recently relocated to Scotland after the death of her mother, after she finds a box full of walking, talking miniature animals: an eagle, a bear, a snake and a rather sneaky wolf. She discovers from an old wizard that she is 'The Chosen One' and, with the aid of her new friends, must battle against an evil Shapeshifter to find an ancient book that could hold mankind's fate in the balance.

    Disappointing

    To be fair it wasn't the movie that was disappointing. It was the fact that only one DVD of the series is provided ensuring disappointment from the children. Even when DVD 2 was provided there was no end to the story in sight. I am unsure if this is how the story ends - if so what a let down or, if there are further DVD's to borrow. However, whichever of these is the case the children and I have now lost interest in continuing with this saga. I shall ensure I don't rent movies requiring more than one DVD in future.
