Armand not the best adaptation. but lovely. because it explores, with grace and precision, humor and great cast, the levels of Perrault's fairy tale, using inspired solutions and wise tricks. its fresh air is the axis. the performance of Christopher Walken - seductive. Jason Connery seems bee the ideal option for the poor Corin. and all seems be at right place. so - no surprises. only a nice story , few songs - not bad, not brilliant - an interesting manner to use the fairy tale in original manner and the ambition of musical moments. the scent of childhood - that it is the fundamental gift to the viewer. and that fact is real a virtue because, after its end, the joy remains for not small time.

Imperage If you fast forward through the horrible singing, you will find a classic fairy tale underneath. Christopher Walken is very humorous and surprisingly good in the role. His trademark style of acting works well for the sly Puss in Boots. The other actors are well for their parts. I did not find any of the acting terribly fake or awkward. The king in particular appears a real dunce though, and I wonder if he is supposed to be. I can not remember the original tale. The special effects are typical of the eighties, but at least they are not overly fake like some of the computer generated fare that we see today. Overall, I recommend this movie for children and adults who are a child at heart.

gillian9 Everytime this film is on TV I always watch it! It was one of my favourites when I was young - i loved the songs, the dances and of course the romantic story, not to mention the exciting parts with the ogre. Now I'm older I've realised that musical romance is not the norm for Christopher Walken and Corin, who I wanted to marry, is actually Sean Connery's son! The special effects are quite dated now but nevertheless I still enjoy it! I would recommend it to anyone - children will love it and anyone who associates Christopher Walken with The Deer Hunter, A View to a Kill, Pulp Fiction or True Romance will be in for quite a surprise! It's truly unique!

CandyR Although this was obviously a low-budget production, the performances and the songs in this movie are worth seeing. One of Walken's few musical roles to date. (he is a marvelous dancer and singer and he demonstrates his acrobatic skills as well - watch for the cartwheel!) Also starring Jason Connery. A great children's story and very likable characters.
