Deep in the countryside of England there lies a small town named Wall. It gets its name from a mysterious (and magical) wall that borders the village. On the other side of this wall is the magical kingdom of Stormhold. It is by order of the town council that none are allowed to pass over the one breach in the wall. A guard is forever stationed at the breach to insure none cross over.
One evening Dunstan Thorn takes it upon himself to trick the guard and pass over the breach in the wall. Thinking nothing special lies on the other side of the wall he is amazed to discover a magical land, and a girl. After a fun night young Dunstan returns to his side of the wall with naught but memories.
Nine months later a small package is left at the wall for him. It is a basket with young Tristan Thorn inside. It seems his mother is unable to keep and raise him on account of her being the slave of a witch. Dunstan takes it upon himself to raise his son, alone.

Unbeknownst to Tristan the star has fallen because the previous king (Peter O'Toole) of Stormhold has died and set in motion a series of events that will both determine the new ruler of Stormhold and make Tristan into a man, or have him die trying.

What the king has done is set the ruby of Stormhold out into the stars. The next king of Stormhold will be the one who returns the ruby to it's normal form, a task that only a male member of the royal bloodline can do. Somehow the king has also managed to bring a star to Earth who lands in a crater alongside the ruby. Somewhat bewildered she picks it up and wears it.

Now we have three people looking for the star or the ruby she wears. Tristan wants the star to prove his love to Victoria. Septimus and his brothers want the ruby so that they may become king. The witches want the heart of the star to regain their lost power.
The movie is an amazing ride and a joy to watch. I do not wish to spoil anything but I will tell you this. Tristan's mother is the long lost royal daughter. It's not much of a spoiler as it comes out early in the movie.
In one way this movie reminded me of The Princess Bride. The dialogue is excellent and the acting superb. On the other hand the cinematics and computer animation reminded me of the Lord of the Rings movies. Either way this movie is worth a rental.
