Best for the Wee Set..., 14 July 2002
Author: jwrowe3 from Tampa, FL
This is a movie best suited for the wee ones, and most adults will nod off, fast. I know. I did. Luckily, sort of, my daughters wanted to see it, again. And I made a serious attempt to remain awake.
The animation will not give the Disney folks a reason to worry, as the cartoon elements look very early 70's Saturday morning cartoon style. The computer animation is decent, and it's a shame that the movie didn't go either way, as the two styles seem to look mismatched, or like two different groups were doing the movie and it was tossed together.
My suggestion to those of you who want to get it for the kids, look for it at the local library, or use your "rent one, and get one free" coupon and rent something for YOU, and make the free movie "Faeries".
The "Under Eight Set" will like it, but be sure you are in a comfy chair, or have a good book handy if you are in the same room this is being watched in.

CGI Graphics+Animation=?, 11 May 2000
Author: fubared1 from Boston, Ma
Short and not really that bad, though it's efforts to combine animation and CGI graphics are rather jarring and don't meld very well. Some talented actors are present (Jeremy Irons, etc.) and the story has it's little surprises. And it's short running time of about 80 minutes definitely helps. Still the good versus evil brothers plot and magic stones are getting awfully tired. It may appeal to young children.
Scary, but good!, 21 June 2008

I think that this is a fabulous movie... I watched it constantly from the time I was 4 to about the time I was 8... However, watching it resulted in many nightmares. I particularly got them because of the guy that was always like "the otherworld" and his friends. I am 12, and I still get nightmares about it to this day. I can't fall asleep right now because I am thinking about it. I love this movie, but it is so scary! I definitely love this movie though, I have very good memories from it. Kate is very good at acting in this movie. Amazingly, I never realized that it was her! I also think that the graphics were very high quality, contrary to what some other people think
Wonderful!, 20 February 2006
Author: Sherazade from United States
In the changing world of CG and what-not of cartoon animations etc. etc., Faeries was a warm welcome at least by me. I think it's important to show these sort of films once in a while, to preserve them and help remind us of where the originality and fun of cartoons actually came from. People were talking about how it is boring because of the graphics and stuff but hey! think about the films that will be considered boring if every film looked like the new state of the art ones everybody and their mother is making these days. Call me old-fashioned but I liked it. It's a wonderful story about supernatural beings and human beings and all it really needs from its audience is their imagination.
partly smoke, 18 December 2005
Author: Jane Wolf from Germany
My daughter liked it but I was aghast, that a character in this movie smokes. As if it isn't awful enough to see "product placement" actors like Bruce Willis who smoke in their movies - at least children movies should be more considerate! I wonder: was that intentional? Did big tobacco "sponsor" the film? What does it take to ban smoking from films? At least films intended for children and adolescents.

Don't waste your time, 18 September 2003

"Faeries" was awful. I can't believe that I actually spent money to put myself through that torture. I am a die-hard Kate Winslet fan, and on my quest to own every movie that she's ever made, I bought this pile of tripe, too.
The animation is shoddy, the CGI animation look terribly out of place, and the plot was extremely slow and pointless. There's not much else that I can say about this film.
