Now this is what I call a great story.

Adapted from the Neil Gaiman graphic novel, this is a love story told in a parallel universe, where stars become beautiful women, witches eat hearts to look young, and shop boys become kings.

Stunning visuals, a great storyline, plus great performances from Michelle Pfeiffer as an aging hag and Bobby D as a queer pirate will make this a classic to watch. Plus the soothing voice of Ian McKellen as the narrator will lull you into bedtime story-state, for greater effect.

An interesting question to ask would be: Would it have made a big difference if they let Peter O'Toole narrate and let Ian McKellen play the king?

Rating: Four and a half stars.
