CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
dy158 I thought I would never be able to find an entry on this site till now. I remembered this was shown here like two years ago or something on the television.Growing up reading some of Hans Christian Andersen's works had definitely made me curious into watching this. Maybe it's just me, but I thought it was like fairytale-like at times. I mean it in a good way and it's true.Though being in my late teens, it's always such shows like this which will always bring me back to my childhood days.Quite enchanting with those characters as well. Amazing.
rainbow414 I am enjoying watching this movie that has been recently reshown on the Hallmark Channel. How refreshing to watch a film that doesn't have foul language,etc. and tells the wonderful tale in a dramatic form of Hans' life.......I also admired the new actor who played Hans......we hope to see him in other theatrical productions or films sometime soon.......Thanks Hallmark for showing it again on tv!!!!!!
Moondust_Hermione Oooooooh, I loved this movie. Quite true to Andersen's life. Kieran Brew (Hans) captured his innocent, sensitive personality just perfectly. Emily Hamilton as Jette was also fantastic. Good integration of his tales into the plot, that was a good addition. I loooooved this movie!
yuvalkl95 Great performance for the new actor Kieran Bew. Although the movie is a bit over dramatical, a new face with talent boosts the film up and makes it fun to watch. Funny, sensitive, exciting, everything you want in a fairytale drama.
