The Magic Door (2007)

IMDB:

A magic Troll aims to defeat the Black Witch and find the magic door that will lead him home with the help of the Elf Flip, and the children Sally and Liam.

I actually liked this one. It’s a made for TV movie, but that actually makes it better (?). Another thing is: why do all family fantasy movies feature broken families? Most only have one parent figure (or no parent figure), or one parent and one step-parent. I’ll digress and get back to the movie.

There is quite a plot here between all the fairy folk, and the human children get mixed up in it by befriending a troll who’s been cast out. There’s also some evil step-mother tendencies leading the children to run away from home with the troll, which starts the adventure.

Although, I don’t think elves should growl, fairies shouldn’t be bigger than elves (also why are all the elves children?), and the troll gets a pass.

My Rating: ★★★
