great film
This version of Hans Christian Andersen is really great. Wonderful costumes scenery and good actors and also scenery and effects. Its version for children and grownups .

Life as a fairy tale
This contains spoilers, so don't read unless you want to know what happens. This movie is wonderful. It captures a side of the fairy tales from a whole different viewpoint and captures the love, friendship, hope, sadness and the world as it is seen by Andersen. The end is very sad but it is such a beautiful story but you can't help but wonder if you could go into the movie and beat Andersen with a stick for not realizing his true love was Henrietta and not the opera singer, Jenny Lind. I would say this movie is both a biography and a romance although I do not know how true all of it is, it is sad nonetheless but a very touching and heartfelt movie with great acting and effects that capture you from the beginning.

this film may have you comit suicide.
This film is horribly depressing. The main actor plays his character like a raving lunatic and , if he acted this way in public, would have been locked up.
I was hoping this DVD would be a series of shorts, like arabian nights, or even the 10th kingdom, but no. Instead it was a thinly disguised biography of han's christian anderson. In fact the acting of the main character is so bad, you do not even want to see the fairy tales. They too are gloomy and depressive.
Skip this one, and if you must get a hall mark faerie tale try the following:
10th Kingdom
Arabian nights
The Snow Queen
Dinotopia
Jack and the Bean Stalk the true story
Merlin

In that order.

Sincerely: David C. Eberhart II
