FROM THE BACK OF THE BOX:
From MGA Entertainment, the creators of Lalaloopsy, comes an enchanted movie adventure. Sheltered in the land of Eternal Daylight, Princess Dawn dreams of a world beyond the palace. Certain the forbidden Night World holds the key to her past, Dawn embarks on a mystical moonlit adventure and discovers that the two worlds were divided by an evil sorceress. The kingdom’s only hope is revealed when Dawn encounters her twin sister Eve and they realize that they alone hold the power to unite the kingdom. With spellbinding music by the award-winning singer/songwriter Kara DioGuardi, Princess Twins of Legendale will capture your heart day and night!
FROM THE BACK OF MY BRAIN:
“The Princess Twins of Legendale” is a fun tale about Princess Dawn and Princess Eve. The twins grow apart and then they come back together over a love of their kingdom. It’s basic fairy tale stuff and it’s not going to floor your kids. That being said, the animation is rundown and the storytelling is blaise. It’s not the worst, but it works for what it is.
Kiddie entertainment is such an odd beast. You can’t go too highbrow or you lose the audience, but if you go too lowbrow and you’ve just confirmed the worst about what you’re doing. It’s genre slut shaming. The material is thin, but it keeps you going until the televised babysitter is off. I don’t have anything to compare to it, since watching the feature is on par with a session of that Ringu tape.
The DVD comes with no special features. The A/V Quality is pretty flat for what it is. But, I don’t think the target audience will mind. If they can see the Princess action and hear it, that’s all that matters. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase to parents of young girls.
