Sea Prince and the Fire Child

I remember this movie from when I was a kid. As a kid my parents use to take us to the movie renal store once every Friday so long as we had been good and would let us pick out one movie and one video game to rent for the weekend. With out a doubt I would pick this movie every weekend until it disappeared from the store (I assume because the tape broke or someone complained about it). For the last 15 years I have been trying to find it and my biggest problem was that it had been so long since I'd seen it that I couldn't remember the name of the movie or the characters in it. Through a stroke of luck and a lot of time on IMDB I found the title, came to Amazon and found this.I could not be happier with this purchase!

This is a good movie. However, it's basically the typical Romeo and Juliet story. I don't know if I'd let young children watch this???? Certain main characters die, and can be a shock to those not expecting it. It has a very unique feel to it, and at times can be sexy. Though there are no sexual scenes to it, there are times where you'll see to much skin, and nipples can be seen as well (at the end of this film). This is no problem for adults, but young kids????? I'm not bashing this film (what I had written above). I just want people to know what to expect. But yes, I enjoyed this film...and unfortunately certain parts drag on. I'm not a fan of the director (as other reviewers seem to be), so I'm judging this film on what I have seen it to be, and not by who has created it. Yes, I am glade that I had bought this film.

This is a great movie for kids, this was my favorite when I was five. I can not believe i found this movie again after all this time!! i thought i was not made anymore and to find in dvd form, i am so happy. I am glad to share this now with my sisters kids who are 5 and up in age. Very cute story. But for under 4 years, u may want to review this for 2 short scary parts. Not very scary, but for a young child, they may want to fast forward these parts. Good purchase!

I don't want to give too much away in case this review is being read by someone who hasn't seen it so I will just say I recommend it! It is a favorite from my childhood that I am happy to share with my son. Sometimes, we need a more creative break from the repetitive Disney formula that seems to get repeated in every movie they make. This is an old classic with an unpredictable story line that children and adults can enjoy.

awesome product, quick delivery

This is, with out a doubt, one of the most amazing animated films for children I have ever seen. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, this movie is beautiful visually and moving emotionally. A must see. But be warned, it IS a tragedy, so don't expect a happy ending. That shouldn't keep you from seeing this film though. I myself normally hate sad endings yet I still feel in love with Sea Prince & The Fire Child.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE AMAZON OF ALL PLACES HAS THIS CLASSIC MY DAUGHTERS HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FILM FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND ON DVD WOW!I ORDERED IT WAITNG FOR IT TO SEE IT AFTER ALL THIS TIME ITS A SURPRISE FOR THEM.I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEIR FACES WHEN ITS FINALLY HERE THANK YOU AMAZON KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GAVE ME GREAT JOY THANKS!

I first saw this movie at least 20 years ago. It was a great movie for a young teen and I still feel this movie is as beautiful and classic as ever. My children enjoy this movie just as I did all those years ago. Beautiful animation and wonderful characters makes this movie well worth any price to own this movie.

It's on some sort of something and it makes my husband's head hurt but it's got my childhood nostalgia and kids don't really look to closely at the details (how DOES one pour wine underwater?)

First of all, to those here in the UK who wish to watch this movie... you can! Whilst it says that the DVD is 'region 1' encoded, you can in fact play this on a region 2 DVD player, as I am quite happily doing so, just remember that your TV needs to be able to display NTSC colours!As far as DVD releases go, this is not going to win any awards, as it is just you regular meat & potatoes release, you get a chapter menu and the choice to select either English language audio, or Japanese language audio, though the English audio doesn't sound as charming as the Japanese audio track. You also get 4 trailers for other Anime's in the same range, such as Puss in Boots, Taro the Dragon Boy, Animal Treasure Island and one for the Sea Prince and the Fire Child itself.The picture is nice, though a little bit dull and could do with some restoration and enhancement, both audio's are a little bit rough around the edges, but nothing a little audio tuning on your TV couldn't sort out, players with sound kits should disconnect the additional speakers and just play through the TV speakers, as the distortion may distract.The movie itself is just as entertaining and charming as I remember from years gone by, definitely something Disney producers should watch and take notes, this is what you can do without stupid singing and prancing every 5 seconds. A good watch for the whole family, though you may find some younger viewers might be crying their eyes out at the end!
