A world of magic awaits, just below the surface. Peter and Verity's trip to the old family mansion takes a turn when the floor of their bedroom breaks away and they plummet deep underground into a strange, new world known as “The Below.” Encountering fantastic creatures and distant lands beyond their wildest imaginations, Peter must summon his courage when a prophecy believes him to be the vanquisher of an ancient evil enveloping this secret kingdom.
Critics Reviews:
- “Although there is some mild peril here, this is a film that is built on thinking outside the box, the importance of friendship and drawing on your inner strength, even when you think that’s tough.” – Amber Wilkinson (Eye for Film)
- “Though the film seems, at times, to bend under the weight of its convoluted premise and the blind eye it has turned at a fully-developed backstory, The Secret Kingdom is a solid, enjoyable, if not likely forgettable high fantasy epic.” – Candice McMillan (Seattle's Child)
- “While the visual effects may not be top-notch due to a limited budget, most kids won't mind and might still enjoy the movie.” – Jennifer Borget (Common Sense Media
