The story line was mediocre at best. The voice dubbing was horrible. The English voices they used for the singing did not harmonize. There is no way you can believe they're in a talent show much less that a talent scout might show interest.

terrible adaptation
sabrinakroll21 March 2021
I've read the books both in English and German in my childhood and if this is supposed to be an adaptation, it fails miserably. Story aside, the wonderful thing about children's books is, that they describe their characters visually and character wise in great detail. If you're just going to cast all of that aside and do whatever you want with the casting and production design, you may as well just make a whole other movie. My little sister loved the books and was so disappointed when she didn't even recognize her favorite character Flora. As well as that, we didn't know who Glenda was supposed to be, as she's just a whole different person here. This story is so magical and unique and I was extremely sad to see it turned into something ordinary like this.
Dubbing voices

Terrible. I'm glad we only paid $1 for this.

The voice overs are HORRID!!!! Absolutely horrid. The voices don't even match the characters. This must have been ultra low budget because they pretty much only change outfits 2-3 times. My children are torturing me with this movie. It's a cute concept but yikes. Do not recommend.

Don't waste your time

Once again my paid Peacock subscription has failed me. I love a good magic movie and this couldn't be a bigger miss. I honestly gave up 15 minutes into watching because I couldn't bare to torture myself any further. I believe this is originally a Dutch movie and while I'm not new to dubbed movies, but this is the worst I've ever seen. And while that isn't enough to make me stop watching the VOICES that chose for the English/American version are down right horrific. They are shrill and squeaky and make you want to cry. I can't imagine how anyone on the production team thought this was okay to put out for public consumption.
The dubbing
amyaphea16 June 2023
This is my first time actually writing a review.
But anyhow, I actually REALLY enjoyed this show a lot.
However, I wanted to get into this show much before but I couldn't stand the dubbing, instead I really was wondering if there was a German version with English sub (Which I unfortunately did not find).
I really like magic shows like these but the voices just seemed eh, it doesn't even look like they even trying to hide the failed mouth syncs.
But I think once you kind of learn to ignore the mouth sync it was good.
When I first got into it I had the "Ill just listen and not look." But that was not what it turned out to be, luckily I was able to ignore that bad aspect and just enjoy the show.
I would have probably rated this a 9 tho if it wasn't for the awfully bad dubbing.
