Halfway through this bullshit, the title seemed less like a fairy tale and more like a threat.

6What people say
the princess bride if everyone was on crack
Time and time again I rewatch this film so my childhood will never end. Brimming with magic. A soundtrack to die for. Do your kids a favor and replace their Blu-ray disc of Frozen with a copy of this superior adventure. Be sure to give them fair warning though about the creepy-ass wolf, the scary-sexy sphinxes, the multi-faced whatchamacallits and the disturbing death of a beautiful horse. Yeah, that's right bitch, the 80's wasn't for pussies and hug-needy snowmen. It was for luckdragon-riding dreamers who settle for nothing less than fantasy perfection!
