Director : Gabor Csupo
Running Time : 105 mins
When her father dies leaving nothing in his will but gambling debts and a mysterious book, Maria Merryweather (Richards) – along with her governess Miss Heliotrope (Stevenson) – are sent to live with Maria’s strange Uncle, Sir Benjamin (Gruffudd), in Moonacre Manor. There Maria discovers that she is the last of the Moon Princesses and that she only has until the rise of the next moon to save Moonacre from being cast into the sea.
This wasn’t bad for a kids film. It starts off pretty slowly, but then the random magic qualities start showing up which, at times, are pretty jarring from the remainder of the standard drama of the piece. I think it was probably the plan of the director to have the magic in the movie be gradual, but when the cook at Moonacre Manor shows up, things go off too quickly.
