Great Family Fantasy: Voyage of the Unicorn ^ Beau Bridges excels in a superby written Fantasy with a great supporting cast. A great show for the family. If you like adventures, put this in the DVD and watch as Beau (A college professor) is magically sent with his two daughters to another world where magic is the norm. Charged to fill "The Prophecy", he and his two daughters must find a magical skull and return it to its proper place to rid the Kingdom of the horrible Trolls. They find mystical friends along their way to help. A must see if you enjoyed the Wizard of OZ. Special effects and the story will keep you glued to the DVD. A great "Get Away" movie for the viewer.
A Voyage of Adventure ^ I saw a trailer for this film on the "Dinotopia" series DVD - but they didn't give the title of the film! I found out by checking Beau Bridges' profile that it was "Voyage of the Unicorn". It was a rollicking good fantasy adventure and involved a few characters from legends past, like the Minotaur and Medusa. I thoroughly enjoyed it as did my 10 year old son and his friends. It is long - about 3 hours - but worth it.
Wonderful Movie ^ I saw this movie before I read The Voyage of the Basset. Usually if I see the movie first and like it then I won't really mind if the adaptation is off. If you are a die-hard adaptation purist then I do not recommend this movie. However if you've never read the book I suggest watching the movie and then reading it. There are quite a number of differences. I thought the costumes and acting were wonderful. I loved the sets and special effects (but I'm easily pleased with special effects). The one part in the movie I cannot stand is the infamous "Sea Serpant Dance" I was all set for the movie to spiral into some crazy drug-induced fantasy after that but luckily it did not. If you love fantasy I highly recommend this movie and the book. This is a very long movie though so the fantasy may not keep kid's attention that long.
Excellent Fantasy Story ^ Great movie - my grandchildren loved the wide range of characters and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. The story is complex enough for grownups to stay mentally involved. Very imaginative - long but can be viewed in two sittings.
Very enjoyable ^ This must have been a two part mini series. We started the movie, got a long ways in, and it said to be continued. The second part is also on this DVD. I think it is about 3 hour long total on the 1 DVD disk. The story is fine, and the filming is good. Over all an excelent choice to sit back an enjoy a long pleasent relaxing evening.
