Skip this one—it's a forgettable mess of a musical fantasy that even die-hard animation fans have largely forgotten. The love potion plot is thin, the songs won't stick with you, and there are way better family-friendly animated films to spend your evening on.

Plot

A love potion works its devious charms on fairies, elves and the swamp-dwelling Bog King as they all try to possess the potion for themselves.
