Directed by József Gémes in 1991, this animated fantasy movie is a coproduction of Japan, UK and France based on a book by the same title.It tells the story of the adventurous Princess Irene and her friend Curdie. Together they have to fight an evil plot designed by the Goblin Queen and the goblin prince, Froglip.
It stars the voices of Sally Ann Marsh as Princess Irene, Peter Murray as Curdie, Claire Bloom as Great Great Grandmother Irene; Peggy Mount as the Goblin Queen and Rik Mayall as Prince Froglip.
The story seems to be set in Russland. At least judging from the disign of the Great Great Grandmother Irene, who's a ghost that helps Irene find 'her own magic'.
The animation is OK, but the drawings aren't very beautiful. The story, on the other hand, is well balanced, and interesting, holding the viewers atention even though it's a little bit predictible.
Remarcable is the song sung by Curdie.
