Did you read this book?
Yes! One of the greatest books that I’ve read from my childhood :)
I have and for a feature film adaptation adapting all five books in one film it was really well done and almost on par with the film _Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events._ Although part of me did wish it was adapted as two films so it includes all elements from all five books since the film did remove elements and certain characters such as the dwarfs who work for Mulgarath.
Fortunately there is going to be a Television series that will premiere on Roku and will be more close to the original books.
I so hope that even one reaction channel would watch that movie... @@EChacon
Yep.
Yes! Ages ago
Oh man I really can’t describe the awe this film filled me with as a little girl, literally changed the way I viewed the natural world around me
literally same
Check out the original books, too.
The books, movie, and game (360) all made me fall in love with fae and myth when i was younger.
Same
Ikr? Same...when I was little I knew this was a movie but it filled me with magic for the real world, something I still see around me to this day.🥰
A movie from my childhood. I love how Freddie Highmore played both twins, with Sarah Bolger as their sister.
Ngl i though they were actual twins. I love how movies and shows can make it look so good that you think its real
As a kid I was terrified of this movie but loved the book(s). Nowadays I love both!
I am OLD! Everytime I hear someone said "as a kid" for a movie that came out when I was already in my 30s, it just makes me feel old as dirt!
For a feature film adaptation adapting all five books of _The Spiderwick Chronicles_ in one film, it was really well done adaptation and almost on par with the film _Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events._ Freddie Highmore did an amazing performance portraying both Simon and Jared Grace, alongside the vocal performances of Martin Short as Timbletack, Seth Rogen as Hogsqueal and Nick Nolte as the terrifying ogre Mulgarath. Even the VFX of the various creatures and fairies done by ILM and Tippett Studios respectively and the score by the late James Horner was also well done.
A part of me did wish it was adapted as two films so it includes all elements from all five books since there were many elements and certain characters such as the dwarfs who work for Mulgarath that were written out in the final film.
Fortunately, there is going to be a new Television series of _The Spiderwick Chronicles_ that will premiere on Roku sometime in 2024 and will be more close to the original five books.
I love the film of A series of Unfortunate Events, probably more so than the whole Netflix series. The tone, acting, music and costume design all outshine the show imo. I think because those books were longer, they had a slightly harder job adapting multiple stories into one film than Spiderwick, but I love it regardless.
The other iconic Freddie Highmore role for me growing up was in Arthur & the Invisibles. Another story about a boy discovering the secret magical world all around him that an older relative found, that was based off a book series.
I also remember a sequel, but it turns out there were two, but for the UK they smushed 2 & 3 together into one, weird.
Even stranger was the odd horror film made by the original creator that was like a meta look at the film called: Arthur, malédiction.
@@robertbrookes2000 I loved Arthur and the Invincibles when I was a kid, I always still rewatch it till now
@@robertbrookes2000Besides _Arthur and the Invisibles_ I also appreciate Freddie’s work in _Two Brothers, Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory_ and _August Rush._
He sure has come along way from doing these films to Bates Motel and now _The Good Doctor_
@@robertbrookes2000As for _A Series of Unfortunate Events_ I agree I think both the film and Netflix are good but I definitely prefer the film more due to its production design and visuals along with Jim Carrey as Count Olaf.
It was unfortunate it didn’t received a sequel due to the work schedule of the actors and also the actors who played the Baudelaire’s aging out of their roles. Would be awesome if Nobu and the girls did a reaction to it and the series, but alas White Noise Reacts is ending next month unless someone wants to run the channel moving forward which is the million-dollar question
Coming from the future to say that the TV show sucks
What I really appreciate about the movie are the designs of the creatures. The goblins having more of a Frog or Toad inspiration and the Hobgoblin having more of a Pig design. Also Red Cap isn’t just a nickname for the goblin as it’s a type of Goblin in folklore.
There’s some bat design in Hogsqueal and the Hobgoblin as well.🦇🦇
I recommend checking out the original field guide, all the creatures have a similar level of love and inspiration in their designs. It also delves into the different legends and folklore behind them.
This movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. It’s still quite scary now, especially for a Nickelodeon movie aimed at kids.
I love it.
At the beginning it scared me
Okay, I haven't seen this movie in YEARS! I was worried about rewatching it and finding out it wasn't as good as I remembered, but thankfully I was wrong. Something that never really affected me was the time Lucy spent away from her father. Watching it now hits differently. It's even better than I remembered. I'm glad you guys watched it. :)
Thank you for reacting to this movie, it's one of my favorite childhood films.
Few things:
1: The five books from which the movie was based on expands more on the fantastical world round them: how the Elves, instead of sylphs, guard the secrets of faeries, how dwarves live in a nearby quarry, how there's also a river troll between the estate and the goblin camp, and how Mulgarath has a castle in a nearby junkyard.
2: The ending was a bit different in the books; Arthur steps out of the leaves that keeps him from dying and dies in front of Lucinda.
3: I love how Mallory calls Jared "Psycho" and actor Freddie Highmore later plays Norman Bates.
4: There's a sequel series of three books set in Florida (this one is set in New England) where step-siblings help a nixie with a Giant problem.
5: The books are getting a new adaptation. It was finished and meant for Disney+ but it was moved to RokuTV during the strikes.
Ohhhh wow!! I wish that had been the ending
oh my god, really?? This news made my day, I can't wait for more of this, I have the field guide and I know fans would love to see more of the fairy world
how did i not know theres another adaptation???? thats so awesome
"So tomato sauce really kills goblins?"
"Dang, I knew the Italians had it right."
LOL
I grew up near a small forest, so I can't describe how scared I was to leave the house after seeing this movie or how much I tried to find fairies in my grandmother's flower bed. Today it is one of my favorite films ever.
This was such a classic for me!! I personally don't know if it's a faithful adaption to the book, but as a stand alone movie, I used it love it! Even today I'll sometimes watch it out of nostalgia.
Oh man this was a classic from my childhood. No one talks about this film and it should be talked about more
i've read all the books from the library but then a very special one that i actually had at home, was the "Arthur Spiderwick's field guide", which had all the info that the book in the movie/series has, AND these absolutely *gorgeous* illustrations.. if you like artbooks and stuff i really recommend it.. me and my brother were obsessed with this book and knew all about the creatures i remember:D it is a wonderful world which this series introduces..
It is impossible to describe how much I loved this movie as a kid, it was just so fantastical! Watching it as an adult hits different but I still love it
I can't believe you guys actually did this one! I personally love this movie. My birthday is actually coming up so this feels like an early present lol.
There's a new version coming out soon!.. So that will be interesting to see what they do with it, along with the New Percy Jackson. Cool Reaction as ever.
I hope they do it justice. It's set for 8 episodes. Disney+ already completed the series but then didn't air it so Roku bought the rights or something. Since it was a Disney series, they seem to have done the typical "diversity" changes so the Grace's are mixed race kids which is...whatever, doesn't affect the story, but they also seem to have aged them up or maybe the pics are just aged since they finished filming back in 2021? I'm not sure.
I forgot this movie exists. I love watching this as a kid.
Hopefully your group reaction of _The Sorcerers Apprentice_ gets uploaded sooner than later considering it wasn’t uploaded yesterday and today and I don’t want another _Gravity_ situation where the reaction was delayed for 2-3 weeks without any updates on what’s going on with the reaction.
Ah man I almost forgot about this movie. It was so good when I watched this so long ago
This movie scared the shit out of me as a kid
(At 22:15)) And the fact is cap is "probably" soaked in blood, that's kind of one of the reason he's called Redcap.
10:11 that is just like the stories of the Bell Witch Haunting
One of the first movies I remember watching and loving as a kid.
I can't believe I forgot about this movie. I used to watch it non-stop as a child
SUCH AN UNDERRATED GEM!
(i remember freddie highmore used to be THE CHILD ACTOR in most movies back then)
I seriously missed out not watching this, Bridge to Terabithia, and LoTR as a kid, but at least I had Narnia and Harry Potter. Great fantasy films for 2000s kids like me
I was really scared of this movie when i was a kid. I liked seeing Freddie Highmore more in "Arthur and The Invisibles". Those are fantastic movies! 😊❤
Arthur and the Invisibles have two versions. Love both versions of the movie.
@@jamesstutz6907 There's three movies. I LOVE THEM ALL!!! ❤
@@jamesstutz6907 out of curiosity, two versions?
@@fantasywind3923 yeah there are two versions of Arthur and the Invisibles. At the end of the original version Davido pulled out a gun and tried to take the jewels but the natives stopped him. That is why the police car left with the sirens on. Also there were two kissing scenes with Selenia and Arthur. Some of the voices are different. In one scene Arthur used a string that held Selenia's top together and tied it to the Sword and he used it to rescue them.
@@jamesstutz6907 huh, strange...because it's the ONLY version I saw containing all that :) hehe.
one of my all time favorite movies/series. fun fact, the book my mom got me was actually a miss print- the story was upside down and backwards from the cover which to my 9-10 yr old brain was like oooooo i bet the magical creatures did this to my book lololol i fully believed in all of this as a kid, made me want to be an adventurer to find magical beings lol
Esta anécdota me ha hecho sonreír todo el día 💜💜💜
this movie was my everything growing up!!!
The sipderwick chronicles is a great classic.
Ah, this is such an underrated classic. I remember arguing with my brother because he had all the cool merch and I didn't. Neither me nor my siblings actually read it, but the movie was based off of a book series written by Holly Black and Tony Diterlizzi, and there was a journal based off of that for kids to "find their own creatures." I always thought of the movie as fantasy, but modern, more muted in its aesthetic, and I remember loving it as a kid. I''m so glad it's getting more attention now. Truly a hidden gem!
Also, this storytellers' guild sounds so interesting! I'll be sure to look into it.
Was so in love with this movie as a kid, and so jealous of Lucy’s flower fairy friends
Yeah. The actor is playing two parts. That Freddy Highmore. He was in the reboot of Charlie and the chocolate factory. Then he went on to play Norman Bates in the TV show of Bates Motal and then went on to play in The Good Doctor. Fantastic Actor he is.
This is such a great movie! I was surprised when I first heard on Patreon that you guys actually watched this movie because I know I’ve mentioned it a little while ago when I was questioning about the book series of this. I got so excited to watch your reactions to this, it’s one of my favorite movies of all time, and I think it was really well done! I really enjoyed this reaction so much, I love it :) Although they are completely different, the book and movie versions of The Spiderwick Chronicles are both well-thought out.
ah yes, the first movie to give kid-me a nightmare and a forever irrational fear of nick nolte
A kid in my class won a competition and we got a free class trip to the cinema to see this. It was so good! 😊
This is literally the only reaction to this specific movie on CZcams. I hope more folks decide to follow suit because this film is truly a hidden gem.
There's something so nostalgic seeing everyone in the comments talk about watching this film growing up.
This is one of my comfort movies!! I love it! And I personally don’t mind that the fantasy aspect is more contained and less epic. It’s very whimsical and fun to me!
I think I might've been one of the people who recommended this film. It was an absolute classic from my childhood.
I don't think I even read the whole series, but I did listen to some audiobooks that I'm pretty sure were unabridged, as it included book only plot points like: dwarves who had kidnapped Malory, and a river troll Jared had to escape from. So yeah there was a little more world building the film didn't have time for.
But wow I think the film holds up tremendously. The effects look pretty good, I love how the creatures look tangible, like the goblins being a bit frog-like & the fairies camouflaging with flowers. The dual roles of Jared & Simon for Freddie Highmore is done well too, they are portrayed quite differently.
And here's a big spoiler that I still remember from the book... In the original end, Arthur Spiderwick chooses to turn to dust after seeing his daughter one last time. Certainly a more bittersweet end than Lucinda going to live with him under the Slyph's spell.
While double checking some of this, I found that there was going to be a Disney+ tv adaptation, which whilst it's apparently finished filming, due to cost-cutting it's being handed over to another company 'The Roku Channel', so it does look like it'll still come out. The cast is as follows:
Lyon Daniels as Jared Grace
Noah Cottrell as Simon Grace
Joy Bryant as Helen Grace
Mychala Lee as Mallory Grace
Jack Dylan Grazer as Thimbletack
Christian Slater as Mulgarath
Sounds exciting, hope the effects hold up though, as that could easily ruin it.
If you want some movies that are basically western Isekai check out:
The Pagemaster
John Carter
Wizard of Oz
InkHeart
Space Jam
The Forbidden Kingdom
Zathura
And these are some more good fantasy flicks from the same era as Spikerwick with a similar vibe:
Golden Compass
Sorcerer's Apprentice
Stardust
Eragon
The Secret of Moonacre
Seventh Son
The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising
Mirrormask
Funny thing is that _The Sorcerer’s Apprentice_ will be this Thursday’s reaction.
I really miss the spiderwick era of movies and wish they had put more effort into them and actually made sequels when they planned on it but because they didn’t put effort the movies bombed.
I played the video game for the Xbox 360. Some lore about the goblins: There are two types, the bipedal ones and the ones on all fours. The bipedal goblins are more intelligent and can speak + use weapons. Redcap, the goblin with the coat and sword actually got his outfit and sword from a dead soldier he found during world war 2.
this movie and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events were both amazing to watch while growing up
This is gonna be great. Thanks!
OMG!! You guys have no idea for how many months I've been trying to to remember the title of this movie 😂 finally. Thank you for the reaction.
The movie heavily condensed the already short book series. The five books are under 100 pages each but include Mulgarath and the goblins hiding a fortress in a junkyard, Jared pulling a knife on Mulgarath at Mallory’s fencing tournament, a major faction of elves, and dwarves that build mechanical bugs and trees.
This movie always feels so nostalgic, I had the PC game back in the day and it was so fun, you could read the book and explore around to find faeries. I enjoyed it so much. I wish I could still play it!
So happy you guys are checking this movie out, when I was a kid I was obsessed with the movies, the book and even the game
This movie remains one of my all time favorite movies of all time and it's been a decade since I've seen it. I can't put into words how much I love and adore thus movie, 8yo me was in absolute awe the guest time they saw it and It still brings me so much joy, seeing others react to it makes me so so happy
I remember reading the books and playing the game as a child one of my favorites
13:33 That stone that the boy can see the goblins is a Witches Stone or Hag Stone. It is said that through looking we can see fairies and witches and can bring protection. In Coraline the protagonist used one too to find the souls. The hole in the stone occures because of some kind of corrosion
I remember watching this movie years ago almost completely forgot this movie even existed
I remember seeing this in theaters when I was a little kid with my grampa. Always a good memory
The kid who played the twins is Freddy Highmore and he played young Norman Bates in Bates Motel. And Charlie in Charlie and the chocolate factory. And Peter in Finding Neverland. And the voice of Astro boy.
I love this movie as a kid and still love it now
Ahw my childhood altough its only 10yrs ago 😅
yk you should watch Arthur and the Minimoys. probably also bc it has the same main actor, but this reminded me of that movie, which i loved so much when i was younger. i think you'd like it.
I loved this film as a child but I really miss that they cut out the dwarves.
I havent seen this film in ages. But as soon as I started seeing the young actor for Jared/Simon I knew I recognized him from something else. He's the guy who plays the main character in The Good Doctor. And he was Charlie in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie which had Johnny Depp in it. I had totally forgotten he was in this movie too
I had never even heard of the movie until I stumbled across it on TV. I quickly became certain that it was an outstanding fantasy movie, with all sorts of little touches that are very satisfying. It has humour and yet at the same time the sense of menace is maintained at a very high level. I would absolutely give it a 9 out of 10.
I know this movie back to front and listen to the soundtrack on a daily basis!! I just recently read the books and they were great too! There's a book series called "The Cruel Prince" which is written by the same author, though this one is focused on the Fae and many more creatures in the magical world. It sort of has the same vibe as spiderwick since they mix real word vs magical world. The author has actually said that The Spiderwick Cronicles takes place in the same world as The Cruel Prince, which made my experience reading both so much better, knowing that somewhere, the Grace children walked as do Cardan and Jude from the other series. :)
Oh my gods i was actually, just a few days ago, wondering if there would ever be a reaction to this movie! It occupies an interesting space in my head as a movie i randomly came across while looking for dvds and have watched a few times but i only remember its existence every few years
This is very ramble-y lol i was about to take a nap when i saw the thumbnail for this
this movie means the world to me
My brother and i loooooooved this film and the books when we were kids, after it came out we were serious superfans lol. We used to pretend on windy days that we were fighting goblins, my brother who used to build stuff actually made the stone they use and wrote his own version of the book with drawings of swamp trolls and little dragonfly wings he found, we'd pretend that we had a brownie living in our house called Needlethread and i even built a little birdhouse with honey and a bed and everything :D we were GIANT nerds and i still have some of the drawings my brother did of some creatures he designed - he invented one called the Crillquin which was a little mouse/rabbit thing with wings and eight eyes and he would steal socks for his nest (needless to say, it was just an excuse for why our socks kept going missing haha)
mannnn this movie is pure nostalgia for me. i loved it so much as a kid, i remember watching it religiously on my pink iPod nano :)
This was my childhood movie, thank you so much for reacting to it. ❤❤❤😊😊
I remember seeing this with my quite a bit younger sister at the time, can't remember how old I was but at least mid teens. This was the first film that I realized if blood wasn't red it's ok, as far as a rating goes. I especially remember the one goblin that gets half his head blown off from the ketchup bomb.
OMGG THIS IS ONE OF MY FAV CHILDHOOD MOVIES!!! like Peter pan 2003, etc. SHOCK, HAPPY & EXCITED!!~ thank u 😻🙌
Yay! Loved reading the books as a kid and was my first series I got into. Also had the big field guide showing all the creatures.
hope you guys are doing good during the holidays!!
i never comment, but the GASPP i let out!!! my favourite childhood movie im so happy u watched it💕
I loved this movie as a child! There was actually a book series based off the movie I owned though I wasn't interested reading at all as a child so I hardly ever read it but I did like all the drawings that was sometimes in the books. I honestly missed watching this movie, it was super amazingly done.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SMM 😭 I watched it a lot as a kid, and I remember being terrified of the villain
I loved the books as a kid! it definitely missing bits of the books as it put 5 books into 1 movie, but its still well done
You guys have no idea how many times I watched this movie as a kid, this really got me into fantasy genre it's a great memory from my childhood 🥺💜
That scene with the dad turning into the ogre scarred me for life as a kid
This film is incredible. The graphics are so fantastic and close to the books illustrations, the world is a lot bigger but obviously couldn't all be put into 1 film. My youngest son (now 17) was obsessed with this film and we watched it almost every day for years. He also had the XBOX game and the final chase with Mulgarath up through the dumbwaiter, through the attic and onto the roof is bloody terrifying🤣
This movie was my chuld hood , wish they made more movies like it
I never read the books. But I was about 10 when I watched the movie and I could not sleep, i just remember it freaked me out I don’t remember anything about the movie. But it’s funny because I grew up to be very into like creepy fairies and fantasy.
I freaking love this movie ❤❤❤
More lovely childhood memories 💚💚💚
My Childhood movie right here and still love the monster Designs till this day!
I loved this as a kid, the books and game too, and still do. Most definitely a forgotten classic.
I only remember this movie existed because of the happy meal toys. I had been wondering what the movie was called as of late, so I’m glad you guys posted this
Freddie Highmore (actor that played the twins) is one of my favorite actors from childhood, I also recommend you guys watch Arthur and the Invisibles (especially the first one) since he was THE child actor that did a lot of fantasy genre movies back then
STOP this is my "backround noise while I work", "Childhood Nostalgia " AND my "something to fall asleep to"
go👏🏾
to👏🏾
filmmmm👏🏾
aahhhhhh thank u soooo much for this reactionnnn✨✨✨✨
around a year ago i asked of this in a comment and I'm so happy its finally here!!❤ my favourite childhood movies along with the goonies
The way the villain is defeated in the end is actually a reference to the fairy tale, Puss in Boots by Charles Perrault.
I remember reading the book and so into this world, I have a fond feeling for the movie
Another movie(trilogy) that focuses on a small scale is "Arthur and the Invisibles", but small scale in more ways than one.
Also, the actor that played the twins in this movie plays the main character of "Arthur and the Invisibles".
It's...a strange movie, but also kinda fascinating how they do things pretty differently.
Thank you for reacting this is one of my favorite movies I used to watch it a lot last time I saw it I think 3 or 4 years ago because I forgot the name of the movie. Sadly I can’t watch the reaction now I have an exam tomorrow so I will watch it after tomorrow but it is one of my childhood movies it is amazing I used to rewatch it alone or with my family so many times even thought I used to get scared when I watched it as a child but I couldn’t stop rewatching ❤ ❤ 😂 😂.
Hachi, a Dog’s tale is a movie you should react to next! ❤it’s based of a true story about a dog’s loyalty to their owner
I always have and always will love this movie, i rewatch it so often tbh 😭
Holy crap you guys have been reacting to so many gems lately!!
I do believe you triggered a very deep memory in my brain with this one. XD I know I watched this as a child but I have absolutely no memory of it 😅
I always loved this movie, brought back memories
This film was an absolute, glorious piece of cinematography.
this movie was my childhood and yet i've never met anyone who knew it was a thing
It's a great movie. I think the boy was also in Finding Neverland with Jonny Depp, another underrated classic.
Funnily enough I wanted to watch this movie when I was about 6 years old for no reason at all. Oh my...what an experience. Especially the scene with the floor planks being lifted haunted me so much me and my mother left the theatre while my father and my older brother finished the movie. Our house has floor planks too, which made everything worse too.
