Csodakarikás is a fascinating blend of family-friendly storytelling and darker themes, all wrapped up in a TV movie format. The pacing is a bit uneven, which adds an intriguing rhythm to the narrative. You have this widowed king, entranced by the otherworldly beauty of the devil's lover, and it creates this surreal atmosphere. The new queen's scheme to empower the devils introduces a sense of looming dread. John, with his miraculous magic, stands as the unlikely hero, and you can't help but root for him. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that enhances the film's whimsical tone. The performances feel earnest, adding layers to the otherwise straightforward plot. It's a curious piece of cinema from '87 worth digging into.
