The Princess and the Goblin

As a non-Disney movie made in 1991 with 1/3 the budget of Alladin, it is a masterpiece. If you want to hate this movie you will find reasons to do so, but it is a really fun, sweet, and surprisingly conceptual for a child's film. I am uncertain whether today's 5 year-olds would enjoy such a dated presentation but it's worth a shot.

The animation is dated now and it was kind of dated back then. It came out in 1992 but I would believe anyone who said it came out in 1982. It's not bad animation, just not on par with Alladin but better than Jungle Book. I actually like the kind of watercolor backgrounds, it adds a dream-like quality.

The story is sweet, it is a kid's movie, and there are couple funny parts. The voice acting is for the most part quite good.

It was one of my favorite movies as a kid probably between 4 and 10 years old. The concepts and story are quirky. The characters are lovable to a fault, even some of the goblins.
