The 10th Kingdom Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman June 20, 2018

Mill Creek has re-released the 2000 Mini Series 'The 10th Kingdom' to Blu-ray. The previous release celebrated the program's 15th anniversary. This one releases for no obvious special occasion, but it does bundle in a new Mill Creek digital copy code. Video and audio presentations remain identical (read: subpar) and the extras are the same, too.


As tends to the the case in these sorts of stories, the tale begins with an Evil Queen up to no good. This particular Evil Queen (Dianne Wiest) has been imprisioned but enchants the Troll King (Ed O'Niel) and his children in order to aid her escape. Once free, she manages to cast a spell on Snow White's grandson, Prince Wendell (Daniel Lapaine), swapping his mind into a golden retriever, and vice versa. When Wendell escapes into New York City in his dog form, the Fairy Tale world meets the real world and a number of adventurous and mischievous mishaps ensue as trolls chase the dog, Wolf (Scott Cohen) pursues the trolls to find the dog, and humans Virginia Lewis (Kimberly Williams) and her father Anthony (John Larroquette) find themselves in the middle of it all, eventually leaving New York for the Fairy Tale world.

The 10th Kingdom Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  2.0 of 5

The 10th Kingdom isn't a particularly great miniseries, and its Blu-ray re-release does nothing to improve on the two-disc set Mill Creek released back in 2015. Everything's the same except for slightly different package and disc artwork and the inclusion of a Mill Creek digital copy, which is not as convenient as those offered by the major studios. Prospective buyers should choose whichever version is cheaper on any given day or at any given retailer.
