This movie only comes in VHS but what a movie it is. I saw it years ago with my children and they loved it so this Christmas I bought it for my daughter and we watched it again and were happy once more.
It is the story of a town that doesn't allow noise of anykind to the point of extremes, like making your boots quiet. Then into town comes a woman that was expelled many years ago because she sang and that was noise. All the people in the old days were sent to a town far away for making noise, but she comes back because she promised a man that she would bring a gift to his grand daughter. This causes a uproar in the town and things get interesting. You find out in the end why the king made a silent law. All works out and every one is happy.

Such an engaging production should have tracks on the internet, but I can't find any to speak of. The child actors were some of the best ever, but what have they done since? No photos, no credits to speak of. Brent Carver was riveting in every one of his scenes, and when he sang, (for about two seconds)I thought it was heavenly beyond words. I loved the hand made costumes, the location used, the wintery scenery and the sets. A lot of love was put into this production. The sound track music with the viola and harp was so beautiful but it cannot be found. I found the movie on "on demand" and watched it about six times, now I've bought the VHS tape (wish it was on DVD, it might later be found on RHI Productions, Inc, downloads (I think they might rotate them, not sure). A highly recommended family film.

I remember this movie from when I was a kid. I really loved it back in the day!! I watched it recently and it's not as great as I remember it being, but it's still a cute movie. Kids will still like it :)

This is a very delightful movie that should be apart of everyone's collection of movies. Only wish it was on DVD! I loved it

This is a beautiful movie for any music lover and a great story for the whole family. If there was a DVD of it, it would definitely be in my collection. I used to watch it growing up and loved it and I would love to share the tale with my kids. It's well worth watching.

I saw this movie on television last year and it left a wonderful impression on me. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen, and it was so touching. I love the story, it's very unique and full of magic. You MUST get this and see the movie for yourself. :) I guarantee you'll have a great time.

I'd never heard of it, never seen it and happened upon it from simple curiousity. One of the best moves I've ever made! It's simple and beautiful in it's simplicity - I can't wait to find it for purchase! My husband is a musician and we LOVE music - I can't recommend this highly enough! We don't have kids but this is a movie to touch the hearts of both young and old alike. Something truly different!

So many people have not heard of this movie, and I can't imagine why. It's WONDERFUL for people of all ages. It's magical, profound and entertaining. I have never bought a movie video before, but I just had to have this one!

This is a wonderful movie for all ages. This movie takes place in a faraway land called, Shandrilan, where noise of any kind is outlawed. And a yong girl named Aurora is given the priceless gift of a Song Spiner, wich makes beautiful music. With the help of a womon named Zantalalia, they restore music and happiness to the land.
