A less than magical fairy tale hodge-podge

The Magic Riddle  Let’s just get this off the bat. Love animation, some are among my favourite films ever. Love fairy tales and have done since childhood. Loved the idea of mixing fairy tale characters together. Love musicals, always have done despite it being a maligned genre on IMDb.

So part of me really wanted ‘The Magic Riddle’ to be good, with all that being considered. Wanted it to be one of those underseen, underrated gems that were easy to defend. Sadly, ‘The Magic Riddle’ didn’t do it for me, didn’t care for it much as a child and care for it even less through adult eyes. Just for the record, this is coming from somebody who has been known to defend poorly received films, animated or not while understanding why most would find fault with them, and have gone against the grain more than once, though usually critics and me are on similar pages.

‘The Magic Riddle’ is not a terrible film, it just isn’t a particularly good one either. Loved the idea of mixing fairy tales/popular stories and their characters (who doesn’t), but it is not exactly a fresh idea and has been done far better with much more wit, charm and magic in Sondheim’s ‘Into the Woods’ and the ‘Shrek’ films.

A few things in ‘The Magic Riddle’s’ favour. There are a few good songs, the beautiful, tear-jerking “Ordinary Miracles” and Cindy’s song to the ugly duckling faring the best.

Cindy is a very likable protagonist, the best animated character (which is saying a lot) and the most interesting.

The ugly duckling is adorable and the grandmother is endearingly befuddled and luckily doesn’t over-explain all that goes on.

Deal at your own risk.

Slow to ship and no confirmation once sent. Reverse cover art states a 16:9 presentation but transfer is 4:3 pan & scan. No response from seller when this issue was raised.

This is a historical film from Steve mnQueen about his motorsports hobby.
A bit old fashioned, but nice a documentary on motorsports in the sixties

Absolutely wonderful. Packaging excellent. Presentation perfect. Slightest quibble, no subtitles but volume and clarity fine.🙂

A good DVD but episodes out of order.

A good DVD, but the episodes were misnumbered and out of order. Not a problem once the viewer realises and watches episodes in correct order.

Erg blij met deze komische horror film, was deze al een tijdje aan het zoeken!

Battletruck dvd

I received my dvd of the movie Battletruck a couple of weeks ago but I've been away so couldn't watch it until last night.
Great old classic that brought back a few memories.
I purchased it at a great price and it arrived in good condition and in good time.
I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys to anyone who is looking for a hard to find classic movie.
