Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors Review

I don't have this DVD, but I did have the pleasure of viewing this film from Moscow's Gorky Studios several times a few years back, and I can safely say that this is a wonderfully enchanting and imaginative movie. Part action-adventure and part musical, "Kingdom Of The Crooked Mirrors" is a movie that young children will adore...the production value for the time (1963) is remarkably high, almost "Wizard Of Oz" quality. This could a great film for someone like Disney to re-make--I think it would work well in live-action or animated form. The characters are well drawn-out and often very funny, and the plotline is clever and imaginative. One might not normally expect a movie such as this to emerge from the repressive conditions of old Soviet Russia, but here it is, and the children who've seen it are all the better for it. Thank you, Alexandr Rou, for giving us this hidden gem!

Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors Overview

Little Olya never listened to her grandmother's advice, but one day an old magic mirror allows Olya to meet her own reflection, a girl named Yalo. Together they enter a kingdom of crooked mirrors, where normal mirrors are outlawed because evil, dishonest people can't face their true selves. A homecoming for Olya proves even harder when she tries to get Yalo to lose her bad habits from the other side. An enchanting, whimsical fantasy for the whole family!
