It's a fairy tale
21 February 2015
You probably have heard the story more or less, so you'll know where this is heading. Therefor the flashbacks might either work, because the movie establishes two time-lines (three if you take the storyteller into it) and the movie jumps forth and back. It's nicely told and it does have very good visuals.

We get some fine french acting talent, with one from Spain thrown into the mix for good measure. Acting talent is up for it then, but might not make up for the predictability of the story. While there is no full nudity, there is a lot of skin shown, which is OK in Europe, but I'm not sure how it'll play over in America. Just be aware of that. Other than that, some CG looks a bit "cheap", but overall the fantasy aspect works in its favor (and it is aimed at the little ones, who are listening and kind of take the part of the viewer). Nice little touch at the end
