It's coronation day for the four Jewel Princesses, but where is Princess Roxanne? It seems the young Princess fears the responsibilities and loss of freedom inherent in ruling a kingdom, so she's run away. Faithful servant Twitter follows the Princess and, when she cannot be persuaded to return to the castle, promises to accompany her. The pair is soon set upon by the evil Darklings, who steal the Princess's valuable ruby necklace and then attack a goldsmith and his wife on their way to the coronation. Ever the compassionate soul, the Princess stops to help the couple and they, in turn, lead the Princess to realize that her keen ear and kind heart are qualities destined to make her a great leader. When the foursome discover the Darklings' plot to dupe the King and Queen into crowning an impostor, it's up to the Princess to recover her ruby necklace and stop the coronation. Based on Jahnna N. Malcolm's bestselling book, this wonderful 43-minute video is rich with lush costuming and scenery, and features the talents of Michelle Horn (Lion King 2), Cork Hubbert (Legend), and Harvey Korman (TV's Carol Burnett Show). The abundance of catchy songs is both effective and memorable. Best of all, this thoroughly entertaining video promotes important values such as friendship, self-reliance, responsibility toward others, and personal vision. (Ages 3 to 10) --Tami Horiuchi


Patti Jones, editor of Sesame Street Parents' Rave Reviews

"The Ruby Princess Runs Away" is a gem. The film has it all-from a spunky princess to forest-dwelling demons to a flying dragon named Hapgood (or "Happy" for short). Michelle Horn and Cork Hubbert make a great team, and the songs are catchy--my husband and I find ourselves humming them on the way to work. My 5-year-old son, who tends to view videos only once, has watched this tape every morning for two weeks. He's crazy for it. And, given its gentle message about the importance of helping others, that's just fine with me.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Grandkids loved it!, January 5, 2000
This video is so pure and delighful... my six grandkids watched it 12 times this week-end and cried when they had to go home! My three 2 year old girls all wanted to put on their "ballerina dresses" and dance around the room with the Ruby Princess! It has everything, except violence. What a concept!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jewel Kingdom Delight, September 15, 2000
By "stinasmom" (Roswell, GA USA) - See all my reviews
My daughter loved the video. She has all twelve of the books in the series and couldn't wait to see the movie. The values and lessons in the story are just another way to re-enforce positive behavior. I would buy all of them if there were more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Princess video must see, December 30, 1999
By norma (colorado) - See all my reviews
Our four year old daughter loves this story! Although she has viewed it several times she still asks for it first during our designated childrens viewing evenings. This film teaches the importance of individual responsibility. A princess is really more than a crown. Action speaks more than words. A young lady is expected to be more than an ordinary kid. The reward is two fold in that she will be respected by all who know her. We are looking forward to more videos based on the Jewel Kingdom books! We now have ten in our library.
