Magic in the Mirror (1996)

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This was just stupid. None of it made any sense whatsoever, from the giant anthropomorphic ducks to the ridiculous slapstick humour. It seemed like they just threw together whatever garbage they could think of in a hurry that wouldn't get them hounded by copyright lawyers for stealing Alice in Wonderland or something. On top of that, there's a few very noticeable errors in the plot and story that even most of the young children whom the film is targeted at would easily pick up on, such as the girl's imaginary friends being trapped in the "Mirror World", yet they start causing mischief in Mary's house in the real world. It just seemed like an excuse to make something really cheap in a hurry to get out on VHS tapes as a cash grab. No wonder this one was direct-to-video!

I have not only watched Magic in the Mirror, I've bought a copy of it and it's sequel, Magic in the Mirror: Fowl Play. If you liked Howard the Duck, I think you'll like these two films.True it's a kids film but there are some adult themes like trust, friendship, and faith that make it worth your while to give it a go. The story is about young Mary Margaret, a creative child whose parents are too involved in their careers, who soon discovers the magical abilities of her late grandmother's botany book and mirror. Because she's neglected at home she willingly enters this new world of a plant kingdom that's menaced by a drake (duck) species that likes to make tea out of everyone else, people tea being especially good.It's a fun movie with a good cast.

One day, I watched this movie just because there was nothing else on TV. While I was watching, something weird happened and it actually appealed to me.The plot concerns Mary Margaret Dennis (Jamie Renée Smith), whose imaginary friends Bella and Donna tell her to make a sculpture of principal Miss Mallard (Eileen T'Kaye). Meanwhile, her mother Sylvia (Saxon Trainor) is experimenting with opening doors into other universes with a machine called the Doppelgänger (what a silly name). She succeed and asks her colleague Laszlo Tuttel to her place for dinner to celebrate.Meanwhile, Mary Margaret has gotten into her great grandfather MArgaret's book of flowers and discovers one with strange berries that she takes into her room. Something weird happens and Bella and Donna disappear through Mary Margaret's newly-acquired hand-me-down mirror.At dinner, MAry Margaret gets into trouble when Bella and DOnna throw tea on Mrs Tuttel (how could they do that if they are supposed to be on the other side of a mirror?). She is sent to her room and discovers that there is a new world behind her mirror (thorugh the mirror berries mshe discovered earlier. There she meets lazy Mirrorminder Tansy, and Mirror Master Melilot.She also attracts the attentions of the tea-obsessed Drakes, ruled by the evil queen Dragora, who want her because people make the best tea (they get steamed in boiling water for a minute). And she is out for the berries.
