Where To Buy The 10th Kingdom

The 10th Kingdom is an American fairytale fantasy miniseries written by Simon Moore and produced by Britain's Carnival Films, Germany's Babelsberg Film und Fernsehen, and the US's Hallmark Entertainment. It depicts the adventures of a young woman and her father after they are transported from New York City, through a magical mirror, into a parallel world of fairy tales.

In a hidden realm, fairy tale characters inhabit nine magical kingdoms where an Evil Queen plots to rule them. She is held in a Fourth Kingdom prison. This kingdom is under the rule of Prince Wendell, the spoiled, arrogant grandson of Snow White. Weeks before his coronation ceremony, the Queen enlists the help of the brutal Troll King and his three children to release her right before the Prince makes his annual visit to the prison. Prince Wendell is captured by the Evil Queen, who is his wicked stepmother. She turns him into a Golden Retriever while her very own retriever is transformed into a facsimile of Wendell. In a panic, the transformed Prince flees through the prison, stumbles across a mirror portal in the basement, and is transported to New York City. The Troll King orders his bumbling children Burly, Blabberwort, and Bluebell to bring back the escaped Prince while the Queen releases a half-wolf prisoner (who is simply called Wolf) to retrieve him instead.

Luckily, Wolf had switched the poison for a sleeping potion, so everyone wakes up unharmed. Virginia must kill the Evil Queen in self-defense, which pains her greatly. The real Prince Wendell turns back into a human and takes the throne, pardoning the trolls, and allowing them to return to their kingdom after the death of their father. Grateful to Tony for all of his help, Prince Wendell offers him a job at the palace, which he accepts. Virginia and Wolf, now expecting a child, return to New York City.

According to The New York Times \"There are humorous allusions to familiar characters like the Seven Dwarfs and Rapunzel throughout the 10 hours and appearances by updated versions of Snow White (Camryn Manheim) and Cinderella (Ann-Margret).\" Executive producer Robert Halmi Sr. explains, \"We wanted to take the flip side of these well-known characters. For instance, Cinderella is now 200 years old. And Camryn took her part because she loved the idea that Snow White was now overweight.\"[3] Camryn Manheim elaborates, \"Well, I've been playing her in my bedroom for many years now, so I was ready for her. But it was wonderful, I grew up reading about Snow White and fantasizing about being the fairest of them all, and there I was. My manager told me that NBC had offered me the role of Snow White and I said, 'I'll take it.' I agreed to do it even before reading the script because I was so thrilled that they were moving away from the conventional Snow White. I am playing Snow White, and we've come very far from that image when I grew up and we're getting all kinds of images of beauty. So it was really thrilling to get in that tight corset and be able to accentuate my assets, no pun intended and, yes, it was a throwback to my finer days\"[4]The Times reported that Virginia Lewis's portrayer, Kimberly Williams, \"prefers to work in film and theatre rather than television. \"Because TV happens so fast, I feel a sense of panic,\" she explains. Yet, despite the misgivings, she could not resist the offer to star in The 10th Kingdom alongside Dianne Wiest, Jimmy Nail, and Rutger Hauer. \"Simon has woven together all the old fairytales and updated them, exploring what happened after Happily Ever After,\" explains Williams, whose character Virginia is a New York waitress thrust into a parallel world inhabited by trolls, talking dogs, and evil stepmothers.\".

The miniseries was initially broadcast as five 2-hour episodes on NBC, beginning February 27, 2000. The 10th Kingdom won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Design in 2000.[citation needed]

During the original airing of The 10th Kingdom there was a toll-free number displayed so that one could order a set of the novelization, the CD soundtrack, and the entire miniseries on three VHS tapes. In May 2000, The 10th Kingdom was released by Hallmark Entertainment and Artisan Entertainment (now Lions Gate Entertainment) on VHS as both a two-tape set and as an Extended Play single tape edition. Approximately two hours of the miniseries were cut out to make it fit on two tapes. None of the footage dealt with major plot elements, but the sheer amount removed resulted in a significantly different viewing experience.

The miniseries was later released as aired on a three-disc DVD set in October 2000. A two-disc set followed in May 2002, which utilized one double-sided disc and one single-sided disc and included the special feature \"The 10th Kingdom: The Making of an Epic\", hosted by John Larroquette. The complete 5 episode series was made available for instant streaming on Netflix as of the 3rd week of August 2012. This is the first time the series was presented in individual episode format since the initial broadcast on NBC.

The fairy tale world is called the 9 kingdoms (spoiler, our world is the 10th kingdom) and is beautifully imagined. It is more than just an enchanted forest; it is a whole world with history and cultures of its own. All of the small details of well-loved stories come out in the cultures of the 9 different kingdoms. Queen Riding hood wears a red cloak, at midnight every ball had a Cinderella Waltz, the Peeps were the best farmers in the land, and, my personal favorite, there is a whole town built around the spot where Prince Charming kissed SnowWhite. What we consider stories are great moments in history to the characters of this world.

That was all before 2000. After 2000, after the NBC debut, Moore replied to fan letters with a short synopsis of the sequel (since it was hinted at in the ending of The 10th Kingdom). He told fans that it would take place mainly in the 2nd Kingdom and would center around Wolf (who was played by Scott Cohen) this time. He also said that Virginia was very much pregnant.

I would love a sequel. Heck, even a prequel would be excellent. Who says it has to be another miniseries It could be a movie or even a TV Series. Fairy Tale shows are all the rage at the moment. So why not If you would like to see a sequel, you can sign The 10th Kingdom Sequel Petition. I did!

I would love a sequel to the 10th Kingdom. When it was first shown in 2000, I was actually going through aggressive chemo therapy for breast cancer. It allowed me to deal with all the pain and sickness that had taken over my life for 9 months. It was actually the highlight of that horrible year. I have been wishing for the story to continue just like everyone else for 21 years now. It is so irritating and disappointing when so many great series just stop after one or two seasons. There are so many less creative and mediocre shows that seem to go on forever. Just sad that the 10th Kingdom ended so soon with a teaser of a following chapter. Please, please, please find a way to bring it to life for all us fans

Not the 10th Kingdom I know but for all those who love the Tony character I have just watched him in a series called the Librarians , he played a older wiser character who all the others came to for advice , maybe not as good as the 10th but nearly there. Perhaps there is hope for a sequel to the 10th find out who made the Librarians and get them to make it and say to Tony you can only do one if you do the other . Librarians was on Pick Channel in the UK by the way

I am a huge fan of the 10th kingdom and first started watching it on VHS (subtitles were not even available). The 10th kingdom made me realize how much I love fantasy. Its been my all time favorite since I was a little girl. You have no idea how happy I was to be able to rebuy it in Blue ray (subtitles available). I have been waiting and hoping for years that people will realize how amazing the 10th kingdom is and want more and maybe just maybe they will finally do the sequel as promised (the way it ended).

Over the course of five nights back in 2000, NBC aired the mini-series the 10th Kingdom. The 10th Kingdom was a comedic series about a land of nine fairy tale kingdoms on the other side of a portal from our own world. For the most part the show was a comedic take on various famous fairy tale characters the heroes ran into during their journey through the nine kingdoms in their quest to return home.

As a whole The 10th Kingdom did quite a few things well. The show for the most part is entertaining. It is probably not the type of show that I would watch twice but I enjoyed watching the show the first time. For the most part the show did a good job utilizing unique twists on classic characters. The show will not appeal to everyone though since it is pretty cheesy (it has a talking dog to begin with). The show never takes itself that seriously which is a good thing since the whole premise of the show is not meant to be taken seriously.

Virginia and Tony, a father and daughter living in Manhattan, find themselves in a parallel universe where Snow White, Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood are struggling to maintain order. Their kingdoms have been fragmented by trolls, giants and goblins.

This mini-series tells the tale of Prince Wendell (Daniel Lapaine) and the evil queen (Dianne Wiest) who has doomed him to spend the rest of his life as a dog. In order to recapture th
