Both celebrating and spoofing fantasy adventures conventions, the high energy swashbuckler is full of tongue-in-cheek humor that only enhances the fun.

It's the ultimate cracked fairy tale, blending true love, edge-of-your-seat action, and clever humor into a timeless movie that just gets better every time you watch it.
