Trivia:

The 4th Kingdom is clearly based on Germany, from several details including: its central location on the map of the kingdoms (which was based on a map of Europe), its large size, and the proposition that it be divided into quarters to be run by the Council of the Nine Kingdoms (akin to Germany's division by the Allies after WWII)

Goofs:

Anachronisms: When the Huntsman finds Wolf's "How to Marry the Girl of Your Dreams" self-help book and picks it up, modern electric power lines can be seen to the left as he walks off.

Superb! ~!

I can watch this over and over again. I own the book,VHS,DVD, and the soundtrack and anything thing else i can get my hands on. This was well written well acted and just all in all great. This movie was one of the best things NBC could have done. Me and my entire family love this movie and say nothing but good things about it. I watched it when it first aired and when they replayed it a year later. I'm a big fan of every one that was in the cast so it's hard to name just some. This movie can sweep you away to another world and let you watch the beloved fairy tales that have been told for many of years come to life on the screen. The places where they shot the movie like Austria and england were beautiful scenic areas. The music is great and you can't help but fall in love with the 10th kingdom. I also love the fact hat they left it off for a part two and i'm hoping if there ever decide to they will have if possible depending on their schedules have the original cast come back. I recommend this movie for everyone who has loved fairy tales! ~!
