Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Directed by Gary Rydstrom
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
(DVD, Touchstone)
It's the story of fairy princess sisters who fall in love with the wrong people. One thinks she loves a gallant knight, but she finds him kissing another girl on the night before their wedding. Her sister is worse off, falling in love with every boy at the ball, but never noticing the elf who really loves her. On the other side of the kingdom lies the dark forest, where an evil Bog King rules a land devoid of love. He keeps the Sugar Plum Fairy prisoner, but the elf finds her in order to get a love potion to win over the princess. It all goes wrong and it is up to her sister to rescue them. She ends up falling in love with the Bog King. In the end, everyone gets paired with the one they love. George Lucas concoction almost sinks under the weight of classic rock songs redone in modern styles. However, it is bursting with imaginative characters, some of whom even acknowledge the horrible music, so maybe it's all just a joke.
