This is one of the worst films I have ever seen, let alone adaptations of the stupendous novel that was my childhood favorite.
First off, her name is pronounced (Eye-reen), not (Eye-reen-ee). Maybe it's just me, but everyone I know pronounces it Irene.
Second, this animation is horrendous. Absolutely awful.
Third, that song is lame. A song generated for the Disney Princesses written by a six-year-old girl wouldn't be as cheesy.
Fourth, the scene at the end where Curdie beats up the Goblin Queen was literally the worst scene for children in an animated film. Ever.
Fifth, the characters are portrayed horribly. Irene doesn't run away from her nurse, and is eight. The nurse, Lootie, is not a fat idiot. Curdie is twelve years old, yes, but he's also not an idiot who runs off to look for trouble. The Goblin King is not annoying, the Goblin Queen is not... that, and the prince is not a psychotic killer- in fact, in the book, the Prince was barely in there and seemed rather innocent.
Sixth, there is no cat. That cat was annoying. The Goblin Cat was, too, but me and my sister came up with the name "Doofenscourge" (after Doofenshmirtz in Phineas and Ferb and Scourge from the book series Warriors), so now he's just a joke.
Seventh, the original book was a classic masterpiece that was the favorite of JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. NOT a randomized, made-for-children film created just to get a buck off that parent across the street.
Eighth, while I admit that the Great-Grandmother was cool, she was like, "Someday you'll find magic of your own and you won't need me anymore!" Uhh... where to begin? How about, a) Irene has no magic whatsoever (at least in the book) and never will, and b) THE GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE Christian GOD, AND THE Christian GOD SAYS THAT WE WILL ALWAYS NEED HIM BECAUSE WE ARE SINNERS AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF US IF WE JUST LET HIM. OKAY?! Gosh, this movie made me resort to all caps. While I have more arguments, I should probably go lie down. Just, stay away from this awful movie.
