Charming

the film is not bad, it has an interesting premise, a complete reinterpretation of the most stereotypical fantasy fairy tale. although I find the muscali numbers a little excessive, as if they were trying to copy a disney movie. could have been developed better without a doubt.

I feel like I just wasted an hour of my life.

Knife goes in. Knife twists. Knife goes out. NEVER WATCH THIS!

Stolen plot from multiple movies such as Moana, and sleeping beauty, and kind of cliché. I won't lie the songs are kind of good since they are sung by sia and demi lavato but this movie is more of a background noise movie for when you have to clean house or something to plop your toddler in front of.

Funny, cute story. Loved the music!

It really felt like another one of those movies that are predicted to succeed just because the main cast is made up of celebrities and pop stars. It had some good musical numbers, but there was almost no character development and the storyline felt dull. I found myself often checking the progress bar to see when the movie would be finished, and when it was over I felt like I could have done something more productive with my time. Overall an alright-ish movie, but I wouldn't watch it again or recommend it.

I think this movie is meant to point out problems with fairy tales and people are taking it literally. If you take this movie at its surface denotation then I understand why you might not see it is as significant, but if are someone who likes noticing and contemplating connotations, this film is rich in meaning for adults in my opinion, one of the most significant animated films I have ever seen and I have seen many. I think it seems to be rich in hints, almost every minute of the film. Geniusly written and animated. Watch the animation and verbal expressions closely and pay attention to what might prompt you to think about the following themes (among others): what might parents want to bring up with their children, how the storyline and animation reflect on issues related to teens and preteens. For example, the song "Trophy Boy" - check out the details of the lyrics, e.g., "I like him for his smile, I like him for his hair, I like him for his style...I know I wasn't listening but he's totally funny. I don't really care if he ever makes a sound, just as long as when you see me he's around..." - seems to show how teens and pre-teens focus on appearance and how that can impact a young man's self concept and concept of what real love really means. Also, the three pictures the girl's have don't look posed like girlfriend pictures but like pictures they took at school when he wasn't ready - how could that apply today to parents, and also how the pre-teen Snow White expresses the effects of trauma throughout the movie, etc.), what blind spots do we have a culture, what do fairly tales might potentially accidentally teach children through role modeling, etc., (depends on the child but especially for young men - for example, jumping off cliffs, running around with knife-like objects, being mushed and not dying, etc.,), ways people groups are stereotyped in cartoon movies (the Italians, the French, visually impaired, indigenous people), issues related to young men, etc. The animators are very exact in their visualizations, pay attention to your gut reactions to things, tap into your parental instincts (I'm not a parent but I did!) and enjoy the journey. I'm watching it several times and I caught a bunch of things I missed the first time.

Horrible movie. Teaches awful values. Would never allow a young impressionable child to watch this. Teaches being a greedy in- sensative thief pays. Mocks anyone with mental issues due to abuse and other situations outside their control. So sad, promoting a no value society.

Very cute. New look at Prince Charming and how he finds himself and his one true love. The music in this movie is amazing, Sia is our favorite of course but all the songs are fun and upbeat. My 8 year old adores this movie and it's kept me interested. I'm sure we will watch it many more times.

I thought it was good overall as we enjoyed watching it with the whole family, it had a different spin on the usual prince charming which is what made the story interesting.
