I love these films but know them so well now. I'd like to find something with a similar feel - I like the Zorro films but I think I want slightly more of a fairytale.

Any suggestions please?

Nobody? Inconceivable!

I know there are some Princess Bride fans on here...

Ha gives five minutes, I know some but brains gone blank.

Introduced DS to princess bride recently, they were unimpressed at my suggestion to begin with, found it funny Grin

Is Inkheart where a man brings book characters to life by reading them? I loved the books, I never knew there was a film!

I'll have a look at all of these - there's something a bit fairytale-like and silly about the others that just hits the spot!

May have to change my user name to Inigo Montoya! Came on to suggest Ink heart, the Narnia films, the Terry Pratchett films, Hogfather is particularly good, and Enchanted. Good luck.

Thank you for all the suggestions, there are a lot I haven't seen.

In a similar vein (but musical) I also like The Slipper and the Rose, and Disney's Enchanted.

Agree with Inkheart, thinking of Paul Bettany have you seen A Knight's Tale?

Oh I love Stardust, it's my favourite film! Inkheart is good too. I'm going to scout my DVD collection to see if I can see any suggestions!

Ella Enchanted is quite fun, if a bit tweeny.

YY to Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium. I loved it.

Howl's Moving Castle?

Oh, and without the magical element, I think Juno and Moonrise Kingdom have a similar feel to those films.
