Well, that was.. interesting

A small child is "blessed" with a gift of obedience, and has to do what she is told.

She goes on a small adventure to lift this curse, and also fix whatever affects the kingdom.

For more than one reason, it reminded of Mel Brook's Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

It feels kind of cheap and a bit rushed. But it is very well produced! In general, it's more cartoonish than expected, and has a highs chool movie drama feel. With interesting CGI (specially that great-looking snake for the early 2000), music set pieces, very good production design (the soldier's armors) and a rather scattered plot, it's enough to entertain.

More than anything, the cast of known actors kept me interested. The roles given to the charming Hugh Dancy and the graceful Anne Hathaway weren't as bad. And Cary Elwes is always a treat! Even as a comical villain (which reminded me of Prince John from the animated Robin Hood Disney movie), he is always so good.

Watch it if curious.. otherwise, you aren't really missing out much.
