Quotes:
Princess Alecia: Just a minute, you haven't passed *my* test. To see if you're a real prince or not.
Prince Richard: [he sputters] That is absurd, of course I'm the prince. Ask anybody.
Princess Alecia: Wait a minute. This is the test. You have to kiss me.
Prince Richard: That's it?
Princess Alecia: Would you wait a minute? You have to kiss me. And if you're a real prince, then I should hear trumpets playing and bells ringing, and I should see stars exploding.
Prince Richard: Oh, Lord. I... I suppose I could give it a whirl.

I LOVED these when I was little - I wish there was a way to see them again!, 13 May 2003
Author: alexise-1 from Chicago, IL

I have such great memories of all of these stories set to film. I particularly loved The Snowqueen and The Seven Dancing Princesses. What a great way to get to know classic stories and much better than what's out there for kids today. Someone should put them on DVD, I'd buy them for my future child
