There's other equally cool characters that I haven't mentioned but you'll have to discover them for yourself.
Okay, here's those synopses I was talking about. Nothing spectacular, just the backs of the book, the videos, and the DVD, but they should give you a general idea what this T10K thing is all about without ruining any of the cool surprises.
Romance, deceit, heroism, lies, adventure, and true love --- just another day in the Big Apple? No way. Welcome to THE 10TH KINGDOM.
Suppose you were on your way to work. Not a great job, just one that pays the bills. And Suddenly, you are in the middle of a fantastic adventure and running for your life.
You don't believe it could happen? Well, it could, and in THE 10TH Kingdom, it does.
Embark on an odyssey that will grip your imagination, steal your heart --- and leave you spellbound as only thee very best story can.
The Video:
Once upon a time is now!
From the Executive Producer of "Merlin". "The Odyssey" and "Gullivers Travels," comes an epic modern-day fairy tale. Complete with lavish locations and stunning special effects, "The 10th Kingdom" stars Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest, Emmy winner John Larroquette and Golden Globe nominee Ed O'niell.
When Virginia (Kimberly Williams), a young New York waitress, befriends a dog that is actually a bewitched prince from a parallel universe, their two worlds collide into one fantastic adventure. Virginia, her father Tony (John Larroquette) and the dog prince are transported through a magic mirror to The Land of Nine Kingdoms. Along the way, Virginia falls in love with Wolf (Scott Cohen), a complicated half-man, half-wolf, and the foursome meet up with Cinderella, Snow White and a grisly Troll King!
The DVD:
The Most Magical Event of the Millennium!
At the edge of the mortal world lies a mystical vortex which leads to the Nine Kingdoms, a fantastic land where fairy tales are reinvented...and not with happily-ever-after results!
An evil queen (Dianne Wiest) has just doomed Prince Wendell (Daniel Lapaine) to life as a dog. His quest to recapture the throne leads him through a portal to the mythical Tenth Kingdom...Central Park!
With the help of ordinary mortals Virginia (Kimberly Williams) and Tony (John Larroquette), they battle evil in a parallel universe of vile trolls, goblins, and every fairy tale character imaginable.
Stunning visual effects and a stellar cast, including Scott Cohen, Rutger Hauer, Camryn Manheim and Ed O'neill, dominate this epic adventure that will enchant audiences of all ages.
The book is written by Kathryn Wesley and is based on a screenplay by Simon Moore. The mini-series is a Hallmark Entertainment in Association with Babelsberg International Film Produktion.
If you've already seen T10K and would like a more indepth synopsis allow me to recommend an excellent one from Through The Mirror. You'll find it under 'The Story.' It's separated into the five parts it originally aired as on NBC and includes some great pics. I was going to try to write up my own version but I don't think I can top it or even come close. Come on back when you're done : )
To The 10th
