Verdict on Princess Halle and the Jester
Princess Halle and the Jester is a fantasy adventure following a princess who finds herself amongst common people. She goes into hiding after the kingdom comes under threat but soon learns what she could help in the world.
This movie has a story that could be compared to Snow White. The idea of a princess learning more about the world, while hiding from an evil stepmother. This side of things works well throughout the movie. However, the budget of the movie has held a lot back, as the CGI models look extremely out of place in the movie. If you can overlook the CGI, you can enjoy the fantasy story being told.
